Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Review: Ultra-Slim, Ultra-Smart
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is here with a new slim design, AI-powered features, and flagship performance. Is this the most refined Galaxy phone yet?
Following months of expectation, Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, a smartphone that reimagines its design language with audacious decisions and sophisticated engineering. This is not merely a mid-range follow-up to the Galaxy S25 series—it's a new vision that hits the ideal harmony between form and function.
Design: Ultra-Slim & Futuristically Elegant
The S25 Edge is not just thin at 5.8mm and weighing a mere 163 grams, but it is also the thinnest Galaxy phone ever. The titanium frame complemented by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front and Victus 2 on the back provides durability without compromising the luxe finish. It breaks away from the visual standard of Samsung in terms of the pill-shaped camera housing, also stepping away from its floating lens strategy. The curvature of the screen along with the almost bezel-less finish gives it a streamlined, immersive appearance.
Ports and buttons come to mind naturally, and IP68 rating guarantees robust protection from the elements. It's not thin for thinness' sake—it's intentional, high-end, and potentially Samsung's most aesthetically pleasing device of the year.
Display: Bright, Bold, and Beautiful
Fitted with a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, the Edge borrows its screen from the S25+, but sprinkles in new technology such as ProScaler and mDNIe to enhance lower-res visuals and save power.
Peak brightness of 2,600 nits, adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz, and Vision Booster combine to make the viewing experience the best—crisp, color-accurate, and seamless whether watching content or simply scrolling.
AI-Powered Experience: Smarter Than Ever
Powered by Android 15 with One UI 7, the Galaxy S25 Edge offers the complete Galaxy AI experience. Functionality such as Circle to Search, Cross-App Actions, and Now Brief/Now Bar are intelligent, seamless, and truly helpful in everyday use.
Google's integration of Gemini Live provides actual real-time camera-based AI interaction, resulting in a more intuitive and responsive phone to your environment.
Performance: Flagship Power Uncompromised
The Edge is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite for Galaxy, based on a 3nm process, with excellent speed. Combined with 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, it's designed for heavy use—gaming, multitasking, or editing content on the move.
In benchmark tests:
- Geekbench: 2757 (single-core), 9824 (multi-core)
- GPU Score: 18,420
- AnTuTu: 2,123,100
The Edge isn't just speedy-looking—it's speed.
