iPhone 17 Air vs Galaxy S25 Edge: India Price

There is a lot of uncertainty about the pricing of the phone. The Galaxy S25 Edge will probably change the Galaxy S25 Fe, which means the same price point will be around Rs 60,000. However, the second possibility is that it is located between the base and the plus model, so it will cost around Rs 90,000.

For the iPhone 17 Air, which is rumored to change the plus series, there are two possibilities of how it will be deployed. One, of course, will only take the price point of the plus, which will be around Rs 90,000, given the price of the iPhone 16 Plus. Other, its single-camera setup can be deployed under the base model, considering leaks in the latest CAD render, and the new ‘E’ variant has been launched with the iPhone 16E above Apple.

Apart from being the thinnest smartphone ever, we have learned a group of other details about the design of two phones. The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be somewhere between 5.6 mm to 6.4 mm thick. If you are thinking how thin the Galaxy S25 is earlier this year, then the Galaxy S25 7.2 mm. We are using the phone and it is really smooth. With an estimated thickness below 6.4 mm, the Galaxy S25 edge will probably be really diluted.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is also rumored to sports a 6.7 -inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is believed to be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip, which is together with 12 GB RAM.

If the phone has to change the plus chain, it makes sense because the iPhone 16 Plus had a 6.7 -inch screen.

For other characteristics, the iPhone 17 Air will probably be powered by the next generation A19 chip, built on the 3Nm process. The device is expected to come up with at least 8GB of RAM.

What is suggested by CAD render and many other reports, the iPhone 17 Air will have a single camera setup like the new iPhone 16E. It is reportedly, it is likely that this is the same 48-megapixel main camera-although the size of the sensor may difference.
