Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge – measuring only 5.8 mm, it is the thinnest smartphone in the years. In fact, any phone released in the 2020s is immersed under 6 mm thick. This is not cheap, of course – here is a wide value breakdown. Is the edge only the phone you are waiting for or Samsung is trying to force a gimmick that will not catch?
If you are bent east, you will be happy to hear that Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge affects with more thinner – it is also very light. Despite great inequality in screen size (6.7 “vs. 6.2”), more than Vanilla Galaxy S25 is more weight. And it packs 200MP sensors in the main camera, which is exclusive to the first ultra model.
Of course, there are downside like battery capacity – it is smaller than Vanilla S25 (3,900mAh vs 4,000mAh). And it has the same slow charging (25W wired, 15W wireless). There is no telephoto camera, it depends on the 200MP unit to zoom. And finally, it is expensive – even for 512GB free storage upgrade and £ 100 for Samsung Credit you get with the phone.

The cost of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is £ 100 for the same amount of the same amount (512GB), which is thanks to the huge discount. Ultra is a large chanter (8.2 mm, 218g vs. 5.8 mm, 163g), but it also has a large display (6.9 “) and battery (5,000mAh) with rapid wired charging (45W).
And the 200MP camera is not alone when it comes to zoom – 10MP 3x (67 mm) is medium tele and 50MP 5x (111 mm) tall tele. It also has a 50MP ultra-wide camera, while the edge has a original 12MP unit like Vanilla and Plus model.

There is a point that the Edge will replace the plus model in the Galaxy S lineup next year. This year, however, the Galaxy S25+ is cheaper than the edge. However, given the current prices, we will go for ultra on plus in a heartbeat.
But just for perfection, if you want an S25+, we would recommend waiting for one or two weeks. Despite having the same screen size, the phone is large (7.3 mm, 190g vs 5.8 mm, 163g). However, it has 1,000mAh large battery (4,900mAh) and a fast 45W wired charging. Instead of 200MP camera, it has 50MP main and 10MP 3x (67 mm) telephoto.

While this razor is thin, the S25 edge is still 75.6 mm wide. Vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 is 70.5 mm wide and weighs the same. Which phone is “small” in your mind? If it is S25, you get the same hardware as S25+except for 6.2 “display and 4,000mAh battery (essentially the same size as the edge).

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is shorter than other methods – it goes down to 85.1 x 71.9 x 14.9 mm and weighs 187g. It would have been very good if it had a 200MP camera, but regret, you only get 50+12MP setup. The minimum battery is larger than the edge – only by 100mAh (4,000mAh capacity), but the foldables are not known for their battery size. The Z Flip7 is a few months away, but its price will be more than the current £ 900 price tag for the 2024 model.

No telephoto or 200MP cameras are either here, but 50+50MP combo provides high resolution ultra-wide photos. And the battery is even larger at 4,700mAh with rapid charging compared to S25 Ultra – 68W wired and 30W wireless.
