Samsung unveiled its sleek new flagship, the Galaxy S25 Edge, during May's Unpacked event. Though sharing DNA with the standard Galaxy S25 released earlier this year, this razor-thin redesign gives it literal and figurative edge.
On paper, the Galaxy S25 Edge mirrors its Ultra sibling shockingly well - same powerhouse Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, identical 200MP main camera. But Samsung's engineers worked magic trimming its profile down to a mere 5.8mm from the Ultra's chunky 8.2mm frame. That dramatic weight loss brings it down to a featherlight 163 grams.
Interestingly, it packs the same stunning 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X panel as the standard S25 despite housing Ultra-equivalent hardware. Size-conscious users get uncompromised performance without stretching to the Ultra's 6.9-inch footprint.
The elephant in the room? Durability concerns with such an ultra-slim form factor. Samsung counters with next-gen Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 - allegedly tougher than the Ultra's Armor 2 variant. Still, some might wonder how this wafer-thin beauty would fare during accidental pocket-sitting sessions. (Here's hoping they've banished bendgate ghosts forever.)
AI enthusiasts get Samsung's full Mobile AI suite refined since last year's S24 debut. The Snapdragon 8 Elite handles heavy-duty local processing brilliantly for privacy-focused tasks, though some cloud-dependent apps remain. Standout features include handy notification summarization and rapid news digestion - perfect for our attention-deficit era.
Preorders open today at $1,099 (256GB) or $1,219 (512GB), dressed in three elegant Titanium finishes: Silver, Jet Black, or Icyblue. Samsung's betting big on this svelte stunner's resilience - let's cross fingers their confidence isn't misplaced.
