Samsung just launched its most audacious smartphone yet: the Galaxy S25 Edge. At just 5.8mm thin and weighing 163g, it’s the thinnest Samsung flagship ever — and it arrives with serious hardware inside. The S25 Edge packs the same Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy and 200MP main camera found in the S25 Ultra, wrapped in a titanium frame that feels extraordinary in the hand.
The price of that thinness is twofold: the battery is 3,900mAh (smaller than the standard S25’s 4,000mAh), and the telephoto lens is absent — it’s a dual-camera setup. But Samsung makes a strong argument: the main 200MP camera’s digital crop capability compensates for the missing optical telephoto in most real-world shooting scenarios.
The timing is deliberate. Apple is widely expected to unveil its own ultra-thin iPhone Air in September. Samsung is staking its claim now, asserting that thin premium flagship is a category it invented and intends to own. Galaxy AI features are fully present, and the 6.7-inch ProScaler display is stunning in person.
At $1,099, the Galaxy S25 Edge is for those who prize elegance and portability above all else. It’s a statement device — and a very good one.
