Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup got just a new member, and it is a one that looks a little different from the rest and feels. The Galaxy S25 Edge has come up with a clear focus: slim below snatching it without power. Sitting with S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, this new age variant is designed for those who want flagship-grade performance in a smooth package. But how does it really stack against their brothers and sisters? When it comes to design, camera, battery and raw performance, the differences are just more than the skin-deep.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, S25, S25 Plus, S25 Ultra: Design and how thin these phones are

Let us start with one thing that separates the edge immediately – its design. On only 5.8 mm thick, the S25 edge is not only diluted compared to ultra and plus models, it also reduces the base S25 by a hair. 163 grams, thin design, and with the weight of curved edges wrapped in a titanium frame, the edge looks like a future on a modern flagship. Even it manages to fit into a 6.7-inch display, which matches the S25 Plus and exceeds the 6.2-inch panel on the base model. Samsung has also added ceramic glass protection to the edge display, which provides slightly more scratch resistance than the rest of the series. However, it limits your color options – the edge comes in just three colors, while the remaining lineup provides more colored palette with seven options.

Camera: What are the differences?

Camera Hardware is another place where the edge has chosen minimalism, but not without some clever trade. It leaves the telephoto lens and provides a dual-camera setup rather than the triple-lens system found on other models. But what it keeps is more interesting: the 200-megapixel primary rear camera found on Ultra. In contrast, S25 and S25 plus 50-megapixels are equipped with the main sensor. This means that when you lose some zoom along the edge, you still maintain a top-level primary shooter that is capable of producing highly wide images. For casual and even semi-serious photography, it can be greater than enough. The S25, S25 Edge and S25 Plus have a 12-megapixel secondary ultra-wide camera, while the ultra model has a 50-megapixel sensor for broad scenes.

When you look at the front cameras, the story is very straightforward. All four phones, including a-age, provide a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. Therefore, for selfie and video calls, they have not been very different. However, if you are someone who depends high on zoom or wide-angle photography, you will find a little limited to the edge. On the other hand, for those focusing on primary camera experience, the edge can feel like upgrade on the base and plus model.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, S25, S25 Plus, S25 Ultra: Battery & Chipset

Samsung’s new slim phone has the smallest battery in four models. The edge has a small 3,900mAh battery, while S25 Plus and Ultra carry very large 4,900mAh cells. Even the base S25 gets a slight edge on the edge, with a unit of 4,000mAh. While the use of the real world and software optimization will eventually decide how much the difference it makes, it is appropriate to expect less screen-on time from the edge, especially under heavy use. If the battery life is your top priority, the edge may not be a clear choice. But then, the idea is balance, not cruel force.

Performance-wise, all four phones are running on the same high-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip, which puts them on a similar position in terms of speed and multitasking. Whether you are playing graphic-thorough games, using AI-based photo tools, or simply running many apps, you will not see big differences. Storage and RAM are also top-level across the board, with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage technologies cooked in all models like last year’s S24 line.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: For whom is it?

So, what does it mean if you are trying to choose the right S25 model for your requirements? The Galaxy S25 is clearly aimed at the purpose of those who want a compact form factor and flagship performance without a very premium price. The S25 plus leads the battery life and provides a large performance with the same power, making it a solid all-rounder. Ultra, meanwhile, for those who want everything – the biggest performance, the most cameras with the best experience, and the largest battery. But the S25 edge is slightly different. It brings a sense of style and purification with that ultra-thin body, lightweight design and 200-megapixel sensor, yet it sheds a slight amount of battery and zoom flexibility. You can also expect it to offer solid raw performance as it is using the same chip, which is similar to other Samsung Galaxy S25 models that are already available in India.
