Sleek and Powerful: Galaxy S25 Edge Outshines Apple in Slimming Down
Samsung demonstrates the art of weight reduction, leaving Apple in the shadows
By Ralpha D.
The tech industry is abuzz with Samsung's latest offering, the Galaxy S25 Edge, a device that's taking the slim-down challenge to the next level. Recently unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, this smartphone boasts an impressive combination of power and a ultralight design, all while holding its own against Apple's upcoming iPhones.
The Edge's Stunning Slimline
Standing at just 5.84 millimeters thick and weighing in at an astonishing 163 grams, the Galaxy S25 Edge trumpets Samsung's impressive feat of building a device that delivers on both form and function. To pull this off, the South Korean giant needed to craft a device just as powerful as its siblings despite its ultra-thin form factor, and so far, they've succeeded!
Featuring a brilliant AMOLED display offering adaptive refresh rates from 1 to 120 Hz, users won't have to compromise on image quality. Equipped with Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the Edge effortlessly handles intensive tasks, despite its compact interior.
Capturing Perfection: Unparalleled Camera Capabilities
The Galaxy S25 Edge's camera setup includes a main camera modeled after the ultrawide video-optimized shooter from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which offers a staggering 200 megapixels and digital zoom. Supporting its snap-happy cousin are a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 12MP selfie camera, ensuring versatile and high-quality photography and videography.
Durability to Last
Despite its sleek design, the Galaxy S25 Edge remains a durable device. Housing a titanium frame, IP68 dust and water resistance, and protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and Victus 2 on the front and back, this lightweight powerhouse is a force to be reckoned with.
Is It Worth the Splurge?
The real question on everyone's mind is how long the device will last. Although the battery has a mAh capacity of just 3900, Samsung promises up to six hours of screen time. The legitimate verdict on the battery life expectancy is yet to be seen. When it comes to charging, the Edge supports wireless charging up to 15W and wired charging up to 25W, making it a breeze to keep this ultralight workhorse juiced up.
Priced to Shock
While the Galaxy S25 Edge boasts undeniable appeal, users will have to pay a premium for the pleasure. Costing 100 euros more than the Galaxy S25+, the sleek lightweight will set you back around 1250 euros for the 256GB flash storage variant, with the 256GB storage model commanding around 1370 euros. But if you pre-order by May 29, you can grab extra storage for the same price as the less equipped Edge.
As for Apple, they're expected to announce highly anticipated iPhones with similar features this September. With Samsung leading the charge for slimmer devices, the upcoming Apple generation is sure to bring some exciting competition to the table.

The Commission could adopt a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation while handling the Galaxy S25 Edge, considering its sleek and powerful design featuring advanced technology such as innovation in slimming down, superior quality cameras, and cutting-edge processors. Gadget enthusiasts might prefer to use their smartphones, like the new Galaxy S25 Edge, during breaks instead of other devices, such as outdated gadgets or old-fashioned tools, that have not integrated technology as seamlessly as modern smartphones.
