FIRST TEST
SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 EDGE
Ain’t nothing like the real thin
Samsung is the first major manufacturer to deliver an ultra-slim version of its flagship phone. Does its skinny form come at the expense of function?
[ Words Tom Morgan-Freelander ]
T
he ‘thin phone’ revolution has been a long time coming. All the major names are rumoured to be working on one, but it was Samsung that was first out of the gate.
At 5.8mm, the S25 Edge is considerably slimmer than its Galaxy stablemates… and a lot lighter too. Samsung hasn’t had to make too many cutbacks to achieve those size-zero proportions either.
You’re getting the same Snapdragon CPU as the rest of the range; a 6.7in AMOLED screen with 3120x1440 resolution, adaptive refresh rate and 2600 nits of peak brightness; a titanium frame and 200MP lead camera to match the S25 Ultra; plus all the usual Galaxy AI gubbins that fans have come to expect.
