In order to provide stronger performance, “crazy piles of materials” have also become the norm for various manufacturers. We have become accustomed to using thickness and weight to exchange for stronger performance, and seem to have forgotten the importance of “feeling”.
While all manufacturers are running wildly on the road of “piling materials”, Samsung has brought a unique thin flagship this year – the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. It uses a 5.8mm body thickness and a 163g weight to provide users with another brand new experience. When the phone returns to lightness, it will also bring more new possibilities.
The long-lost lightweight feel
Let’s talk about the conclusion first. After getting the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, you have to say that Samsung has “a little bit of something” this time.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is only 5.8mm toxic
The body thickness of 5.8mm is thinner than three 1 yuan coins stacked together; the weight of 163 grams is not only without any burden when holding it with one hand, but even if it is stuffed into the pocket of a shirt or jeans, it will not feel any dropping, and sometimes it may even make you forget its existence.
By comparing with other flagships, you can also clearly feel that the Samsung S25 Edge is a unique product. For example, when compared with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, you can see that its body is narrower, but the right angle design does not affect the actual grip feel.
After getting used to various “half-pound machines”, it feels wonderful to pick up the Samsung S25 Edge again. It still continues the square body design of the Samsung S25 series, with the edge transitions very smoothly, and the titanium frame has a warm and matte texture to the touch, which also makes people more confident in the strength of this ultra-thin phone. It can be said that in terms of “feeling”, the S25 Edge has no opponent in its current flagship phones.
Samsung S25 Edge also uses titanium frame
While it is light and thin, Samsung has not forgotten the strength of the entire machine. In addition to the titanium frame, the screen cover of the Samsung S25 Edge uses the stronger Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. This material not only ensures the light transmittance of the glass, but also significantly improves the glass’s drop resistance and toughness, ensuring higher strength of the entire machine. The back panel of the body is made of Corning Gorilla Victus 2, which has been verified on many Samsung flagship models, and its reliable performance has also been recognized by many users. Moreover, this phone is also a product that supports IP68-level dustproof and waterproofing, which also proves that Samsung is considering the reliable performance of the entire phone while slimming down the phone.
Because the body is too thin, the Samsung S25 Edge also needs to take into account the bulge in the camera’s Deco area. In order to reduce the impact of flagship lenses on the body thickness from a visual level, Samsung specially designed a step-like Deco, which reduces the lens bulge through the two-end step-like design, and also makes the whole machine look more harmonious.
It is worth noting that while the Samsung S25 Edge is extremely slimming, it still retains the dual SIM card design, which is more friendly to domestic users. Moreover, the bottom is also equipped with high-quality speakers, which can form stereo sound with the top earpiece group.
With a brand new ultra-thin design, the Samsung S25 Edge provides a new direction for thinking for the entire industry. It proves that flagship phones are not the only way to go for “crazy piles of materials”. Through the precision stacking of internal structures and breakthroughs in materials, the S25 Edge successfully found a delicate balance between lightness and function, and also provided another new possibility for more people.
Being thin still has hard-core strength
In order to meet the current rich usage scenarios, Samsung has not compromised at the hardware level. While the body thickness is reduced, Samsung still adopts the current leading performance Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition (For Galaxy), which can ensure a smooth user experience in daily use and high load scenarios, and can also meet the performance needs of Galaxy AI.
I believe many people are also worried about whether this phone can “suppress” the powerful Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition. In order to test its cooling ability, I played “Genshin Impact” for half an hour and fully opened the picture quality. The back of the body can indeed feel obvious warmth, especially in the area under the camera, but it is far from hot, and the game frame rate is relatively stable. From this point of view, there is no basic performance of abandoning consumers’ concerns for the sake of extreme lightness.
The screen has always been Samsung’s unique skill, and this time the Samsung S25 Edge is no exception. This 6.7-inch screen with a resolution of 3120×1440 is quite excellent in brightness and color. It is definitely a visual enjoyment to have such a leading-edge screen on such a slim body.
Of course, physical laws cannot be violated. In order to achieve extreme lightness, the Samsung S25 Edge has made a choice in battery capacity. The battery capacity of 3900mAh is indeed a bit in the flagship phones in 2025. From this number, it can be seen that its battery life cannot be comparable to the “big cup” or “super large cup” models of the same series. However, judging from my current usage situation, if the usual use environment is relatively fixed, it can still meet the light use of a day, but for severe users, or if they use it as the main machine, a mobile power supply is still a must.
In addition, Samsung did not abandon wireless charging while slimming down this time, so it is also a good choice to place your phone on a wireless charging pad in the office or at home, and replenish power by using fragmented time. This is a brand new habit of use, and it also encourages you to put down your phone and make the charging process more relaxed.
In terms of imaging, the positioning of Samsung S25 Edge is also clear. While slimming the entire machine, its lens design has become more simple. By combining a 200 million pixel main camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens, Samsung has used a more pleasing method to meet the daily recording needs of most users.
Thanks to the ultra-high resolution brought by 200 million pixels, the Samsung S25 Edge not only has good imaging effects, but also achieves high-quality zooming capabilities through cropping. In terms of focal segment, it not only supports native 1X and optically quality 2X zoom, but also provides focal segments such as 4X and 10X for users to click to choose, which has covered the mainstream focal segment from broad scenery to close-ups in the distance.
Shooting with Samsung S25 Edge
Shooting with Samsung S25 Edge
After actual measurement, in an environment with sufficient light, its imaging quality is clear and sharp, and the color is restored to real and natural, which is enough to allow you to capture every moving moment in life. This imaging system may not allow you to shoot professional-grade photography blockbusters, but its value lies in the fact that in the lightest form, users can provide sufficient and reliable recording capabilities.
Galaxy AI injects soul into mobile experience
By integrating multiple AI functions, smartphones are becoming more and more easy to use, and thanks to the addition of Galaxy AI, the usage experience of Samsung S25 Edge has also taken a qualitative leap. In a series of new Galaxy AI features updated this year, I personally like the “Instant Newsletter” feature. Every morning, it will automatically summarize the need to pay attention to the schedule and weather. Just click on the screen to understand the work that needs to be done on that day, which is extremely efficient. At night, the instant newsletter will also summarize some of the day’s schedules.
“Talk about Language” is also a very easy-to-use new AI feature. It combines the multimodal interaction capabilities of voice and real-time video, providing a completely new interaction. We can consult it directly for any questions, or turn on its visual ability, turn the phone into our “eyes” and help us understand the world.
For example, when traveling abroad, you only need to enable the language chat visual function, then aim at unfamiliar street signs or menus, and then ask corresponding questions to the AI, and it can give the corresponding answers. For example, reading recipes, reading street signs, etc., the language chat video field can help us complete it quickly and greatly improve efficiency. In addition, the Chinese chat video also provides different characters such as tour guides, cao, bedtime stories, etc., and can directly talk to it without turning on the camera.
Written at the end
Today, when smartphones become thick and heavy, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge successfully opened up a differentiated route in the homogeneous market with an almost paranoid pursuit. It is not without its shortcomings, and its limited battery life is the price paid for the ultimate lightweight. But this clear trade-off also constitutes the unique charm of this phone. If you miss the era when you easily hold your phone in your palm and feel the exquisite balance of technology and aesthetics, you might as well experience the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. It will use that long-lost lightness to redefine your perception of flagship phones.
