Samsung has just revealed its most intriguing smartphone lately, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Similar to other models in the S25 series, much information about this device was available before its official launch. This phone might be the most controversial one yet, mainly because of its price and its features.
Hardware and Performance
Inside the Galaxy S25 Edge, you’ll find the same Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip that powers the other S25 models. It’s paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and offers storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB using UFS 4.0. There’s no 8 GB option here, which is a relief. For connectivity, the phone supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 5G technology.
Camera Features
Regarding photography, the Galaxy S25 Edge is equipped with a 200 MP wide-angle lens and a 12 MP ultra-wide sensor, plus a 12 MP camera for selfies. The absence of a telephoto lens in such an expensive device seems almost unacceptable, especially when cheaper phones offer this feature. It’s likely that the telephoto lens was removed to keep the device slim.
Display and Battery Life
The Galaxy S25 Edge boasts a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED display that can refresh at rates of up to 120 Hz. It also includes Samsung’s Vision Booster technology and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor located under the screen. The device runs on a 3,900 mAh battery, which charges at 25 Watts. You can also enjoy wireless charging and the Wireless Powershare feature.
Finally, let’s discuss what makes the Galaxy S25 Edge stand out. The phone weighs 163 grams and has dimensions of 75.8 mm x 158.4 mm x 5.85 mm. Though these specs are impressive, they don’t fully justify its price tag of EUR 1,249 ($1,382). If you’re interested in the 512 GB version, it will cost you EUR 1,369 ($1,515). Pre-orders are currently available on Samsung’s website, and those who order by May 29 will receive a free storage upgrade, allowing them to pay the price of the 256 GB model for the 512 GB option.
