At a time when all smartphones seek to be refined with the tenth of a millimeter of year in year, Samsung decided to give a great blow. Here comes the Galaxy S25 Edge, its finest and most light smartphone without being the smallest. Because you must respond to a promise: make a compact format (or almost) without commitment to power and versatility.
When he takes care of the Galaxy S25 Edge, the difference feels immediately. It is much lighter thanks to its titanium chassis (blue, black or silver) and its 163 g on the scale. Next to him, the Ultra S25 is immediately very massive. Especially because the Galaxy S25 Edge opted for more roundness when his illustrious old man touches the right edges. It is quite impressive in the hand, compared to the rest of the market, including certain brands that make their low thickness speak as with the honor 200 lite (6.8 mm) or in Oppo that drew a folding finding N5 that showed only 4.21 mm deployed.
A delicacy of chassis, but of big sensors
Let’s talk about delicacy. The Galaxy S25 edge shows 5.8 mm thick. It is much better than the Galaxy S25 (7.2 mm) and especially than the Ultra Galaxy S25 (8.2 mm). Only the galaxy z fold6 developed better (5.6 mm), but has the advantage of better distributing its elements in two parts. However, there is a differentiating aesthetic touch that masks a reality. The newcomer photo sensors are established, not directly on the matte back of the device, but in a glass module. Makes growth more visible.
It should be said that the sensors are the same as the 200 MPX main and the ultra -big angle/macro of the Ultra Galaxy S25 to offer a high -end photo package, therefore, wide enough to capture more light. The “pill” seems to minimize the thickness, but, when putting the Galaxy S25 and the Ultra S25 below, we realize that at the level of the photographic sensors, the difference is reduced, even the s25 edge is thicker than the S25.
Such delicacy will attract those who want a compact smartphone, despite an AMOLED screen that still shows 6.7 diagonal inches. It will easily slide into a bag, at the risk of seeing it slide between two books, two objects, with a pocket or a jacket of the shirt. In a rear jeans pocket, it runs the risk of forgetting its presence and sitting on it … and it will be a true solidity test of its final chassis. But the real question to ask is what this delicacy gain is used. In the hand on the phone, that’s fine. For the rest, it will be necessary to see if it really brings something to use.
In the photo, it does not seem to make a concession, if not obviously in the absence of the two high quality telephotives of the ultra or simple S25 that the S25 can be organized. This is Fig-Fig, half grape. The S25 Edge lacks a little versatility, but, in our first tests, what he does, does it well. It is a bit limited to the 2x basic optical zoom (no optical zoom in 200 MPX). However, it will be necessary to deepen everything in a darker environment to attest to its possibilities.
A good smartphone, but at the cost price
The Galaxy S25 EDGE, therefore, has its first promises of fine, elegant and light design. Will it make it an excellent Premium smartphone? The tests in the situation will say that it has the entire outfit anyway. Powerful (elite processor of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8), with functions of Galaxy AI and well equipped with a photo without being the last, it will attract everything that the S25 family offers to compose a new offer focused on its delicacy.
It remains to be seen who will be the first seducts. Samsung has a more feminine objective in its viewfinder in search of a design device, users who do not want to be crowded without having to opt for a smartphone “at least.” This is perhaps its price (1,250 euros) that can serve as a peace judge.
At this price, it is inserted between the Galaxy S25+ (1,170 euros) and the Ultra S25 (1,470 euros) with its fine design as a strong point, but shortage in the photo and especially on the battery (only 3,900 mAh and an ultra slow load). An address that the entire industry seems to take, helped by the recent acceleration in the miniaturization of the elements. Does Samsung have a step ahead or accelerator? A certain view to show your knowledge, how before everyone else, Apple in mind according to the rumor, to create a category? These are the first consumers who will give a first response element, the same people who have claimed a new product category.
