Exceptionally Sleek and Strong Design

The device features a very thin chassis. It is also lightweight, tipping the scales at just 163 grams, and the design aims for a compact and convenient experience without losing a premium feel.

The phone measures 75.6 X 158.2 X 5.8mm. At 5.8mm, this is significantly thinner than the S25 Ultra that measures 8.2mm depth, make it 41% thinner.

The refined titanium frame includes curved edges, which not only aims to elevate the slim smartphone category, but also offers a familiar design of the Galaxy S series.

Samsung are also pushing hard on durability, with a titanium frame curving around a Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 display, which should minimise the risk of shattering if you happy to drop the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The main lens offers high resolution for excellent photography at a massive 200 MP, enhancing low-light performance (F1.7) and offers 2x optical zoom.

The ultra-wide sensor now includes autofocus, enabling detailed close-up photography and is 12MP Ultra-Wide Camera (F2.2).

Galaxy S25 Edge is built to deliver premium performance, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the same processor available in all Galaxy S25 series devices globally.

The phone runs a customised Qualcomm processor, powering the S25 Edge’s on-device AI processing capabilities.

The battery is perhaps the area that got shrunk the most with the design, just 3,900 mAh   in capacity, Samsung will need to sip at it gently.

The phone supports fast charging, regaining up to 55% in 30 minutes and fast wireless charging, although Samsung doesn’t provide specifics on speeds.

Internally, the engineers have created a reconfigured vapor chamber that is now thinner, yet broader for better heat dissipation.

Intelligent Features

The device integrates intelligent features throughout, offering helpful and context-aware experiences. Users can expect personalised, intelligent capabilities with on-device personal data management.
