Foot: Galaxy S25 Edge Pre-Order Start, Plus Samsung, Google, Poco and Realme deals

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge – measuring only 5.8 mm, it is the thinnest smartphone in the years. In fact, no other phone released in the 2020s is immersed below 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 with free storage upgrade.

As usual, when a new model is launched, the old model dries up for one or two weeks. The cost of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is currently more than the edge, but it should return to the price points back in a week or two. 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 a bit cheaper – even without discount. If you want an S25+, we would recommend waiting for a week or two. Despite having the same screen size, the phone is large (7.3 mm, 190g vs 5.8 mm, 163g). However, its battery is 1,000mAh large (4,900mAh) and 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).

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is another phone that competes with ultra instead of edge. It is 8.5 mm thick and weighs 221g with 6.8 ”display and 5,060mAh battery (37W/23W charging).

OnePlus 13 is close to the size of ultra. But it packs a large 6.82 ”display and a 6,000mAh battery-even more than 5,000mAh. And it is also with a fast 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. The cameras are 50MP mains, which are supported by 50mp 3x (73 mm) and 50mp 300, which are more than € 300.

The Poco F7 Ultra is currently in MSRP, but its brother -Bahn, Poco F7 Pro, is currently up to € 120 and is well worth a look. It is not actually an edge contestant (8.1 mm thick, 206 g weight), but it is an inexpensive Snapdragon 8 General 3 phone with 6.67 “1440p+ 12-bit display and a large 6,000mAh battery with 90W charging. 50+ 8MP camera is nothing special, however.

Xiaomi is in the same price class of 14t GT 6. It uses the Demistry 8300 Ultra, which is slightly behind Snapdragon 8S General 3. The camera setup is the same as GT 6, with the 50MP main (1/1.56 “vs. 1/1.4”) and 50mp tele (50mm vs.. In addition, the 5,000mAh battery is small and only 67W wired charging.

Xiaomi 14T Pro switchs to a dimension 9300+ and its 5,000mAh battery has both 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. The 6.67 1220p+ OLED display with 12-bit colors and the 144Hz refresh rate is the same. The camera setup is slightly better than 14t with a 2.6x lens for 50MP sensor (1/1.31 “) and 50MP tele (60 mm). There is a more detailed comparison between 14t and 14t Pro.

Finally, Google Pixel 9A has a good discount if you are looking at the 128GB version, not so much for the 256GB model. Either in the case, Prime Students can add additional € 30 to the member discount. And if you are trading in an old phone, you will get € 100 bonus.
