After months of teasers, hypothesis and rumours, Samsung has lastly formally launched the Galaxy S25 Edge: its slimmest S-series telephone ever. At a mere 5.8mm thick (not together with the digicam bump), it is noticeably thinner than different (already skinny) telephones, and it is also lighter, at simply 163g.
Regardless of the razor-thin thickness, Samsung has nonetheless managed to pack in a 200MP major (wide-angle) digicam module. It was speculated that this could be equivalent to that featured within the S25 Extremely, however there are some reviews of the sensor within the S25 Edge measuring 1/1.56″, which is smaller than the 1/1.3″ sensor within the S25 Extremely. We can’t affirm the precise dimension of the Edge’s senor but, however with Samsung revealing that it needed to specifically develop a thinner digicam module that might match into the Edge’s super-slim chassis, it is potential that the digicam’s sensor dimension could have been barely lowered.
The opposite module within the twin digicam array is a 12MP ultrawide snapper, which appears to be a direct carry-over from the S25+. There isn’t any telephoto module, however Samsung is claiming 2x ‘optical’ zoom courtesy of on-sensor lossless zoom. As we have come to count on from latest S-series digicam telephones, the S25 Edge will get Samsung’s newest AI-powered digicam software program options, like Photograph Help to routinely substitute objects or components in a photograph, and Audio Eraser for eradicating distracting sounds. The S25 Edge can be suitable with Samsung Log video for shade grading in put up manufacturing, and this function additionally works with the selfie digicam.
Elsewhere, the S25 Edge is powered by the identical Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC and Adreno 830 GPU as within the S25 Extremely. The chassis is IP68-certified in opposition to mud and water ingress, whereas the 6.7-inch, 1440 x 3120-pixel AMOLED show is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
Although Samsung has evidently gone to nice lengths to package deal premium, flagship parts and options right into a super-slim physique, there’s one compromise that it hasn’t been in a position to overcome: battery capability. At ‘solely’ 3900mAh, the S25 Edge’s battery is the smallest within the S25 sequence, being a full 1000mAh lower than the cell within the S25+; a telephone with the identical 6.7-inch display dimension. Nonetheless, the Edge’s battery is barely marginally weaker than that within the vanilla S25 (4000mAh).
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be accessible in three physique colorways: Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue (you’d by no means guess that the telephone’s body is created from titanium). Pricing is ready to begin at $1099 for the bottom 256GB mannequin, although pricing shouldn’t be but accessible for the 512GB model. The telephone will go on sale on Could twenty third, however might be pre-ordered now.
