It may be a little away from the subject, but I would say it anyway: for me, the new Galaxy S25 Edge looks like the first true spiritual successor of the Galaxy Note 7. This was not the first time Samsung would try to make a thin phone, but given that it was a monster note, it was a big deal. But as it turned out later, it was easier than it was easy. It was in 2016. It will take Samsung for almost a decade to go down that road again.

While the S25 Edge is not a Samsung note (those things are still high and powerful the way nature it wants), it has some identical underpinning and values ​​that you combine with its stature phone. The biggest is the cheapest hardware. Edge is not a Fe (small for fan edition), which is not less than any angle. Well, perhaps here and there are some caviates, but I am sure that most people – and – can get around them without any hassle. What tastes tasty on the plate – but I digest.

Everything about S25 Edge shouts flagship (and iPhone 16e-type). The simplest way to describe it is, it is a staunch galaxy S25 plus (or a S25 ultra that barely hits the gym). It is basically the same screen with a 6.7-inch 2K (1440p) Ltpo Amoled 120Hz refresh rate. The inner processor is the same top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is also adapted for other S25 series phones. It has the same amount of RAM, 12 GB.

Secondary 12-megapixel ultravide and 12-megapixel selfie cameras are similar. The S25 Edge is also IP68 rated and supports 15W wireless charging. Finally, it is the same love – and commitment – as S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, when it comes to software and galaxy AI features, with a promise of seven generations of upgrade.

He said, this phone is more beyond the glasses. Samsung is once again trying to sell us a thin flagship phone, in fact, its thinnest Galaxy S. And the numbers returned it well.

The edge falls under just 6 mm (to be 5.8 mm accurate). It is actually its largest USP (small for unique sales point). But thinness alone is not enough. For this, for the type of impact Samsung is going to, it must also be a factor in weight-to be able to justify as a category-trans-different product. It has also accepted. The S25 Edge weighs only 163 grams.

Each of these specs cannot be a big thing in itself, but together, they give the amount for something that we have not seen in the long run Samsung. Even if the viewer for such a product is not as large as fold or flip-unknowable more mass-market S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, it is important that the S25 edge is present today. You can understand why it is here. TL; The DR version is, the smartphone market has recently become boring, and the edge is a breath of fresh air.

Samsung clearly believes that it has a “winner” written. Why would it do fat-joking about iPhones? The real question is that Slim New Galaxy S25 gives Samsung an edge on apple? On paper, yes.

Apple seems to be close to launching a “slim” iPhone – the alleged iPhone 17 Air – – it is to release a one that folds in the middle. Samsung has clarified that the S25 Edge iPhone 17 was not inspired by Air, claiming that the phone was in development before the slim iPhone rumors on the Internet. The reason for the age being present is that people are asking for a galaxy S25 ultra-light without skimp on a lot of glasses. The areas where Samsung had to cut some corners – battery capacity and zoom camera – more with physics than anything. If it was humanly possible, I think it would have applied it.

But even with the dialed-down battery (3,900mAh) and new age technology progress, critics would be looking at the S25 Age very closely. People have been burnt before and as much as Samsung wants you to forget from Note 7 Fiasco and move forward, the real test of the Galaxy S25 Edge will be how it handles cooling and how it happens over time. I am not very worried about build quality, it is solid, but even a part of the Internet will be eagerly waiting for Zeririsry Treatment to find out how the phone lives with everyday wear and tears (such as whether it bends or not). The same expectations will also apply to the iPhone 17 Air, even more, given that it has been tipped to be even thinner.

Samsung can benefit the initial-flower-but there is no benchmark for success to do something first. The Galaxy S25 edge looks unprecedented. But it should also be proved wrong and prove wrong.
