Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: the ultra-fine smartphone is official, here is its characteristics and its price
The Galaxy S25 family cadet was first showed for the Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2025. Galaxy S25,, S25+ And S25 Ultra It benefited from a good and good presentation, while a fourth model was a surprise guest: the Galaxy S25 EDGE offered itself a small surprise appearance. Finally surprised, not quite: the smartphone has been rumored for many months, even if it was expected under the name of S25 Slim.
Four months later, and probably after a few procrastination of the South Korean firm, the smartphone is today completely official. The Galaxy S25 Edge therefore joins the Galaxy S25 series, but with a particular characteristic: its finesse. The other terminals in the range are far from being characterized by overweight (the S25 measures 7.2 mm, S25+, 7.3 mm and ultra, 8.2 mm), but the device does even better. For a long time the object of speculation, the thickness of the Galaxy S25 EDGE therefore stood at 5.8 mm. In the world of recent mobile telephony, only the Tecno Spark Slim (5.75 mm) presented at Mobile World Congress from February 2025 Can boast of doing (very slightly) better. As for Apple’s response, expected in the form of a iPhone 17 Airit is hoped for the start of the 2025 school year.
Let us specify all the same that if the Edge puts everything on finesse, smartphones have in the past managed to do better, and even much better: in 2014, theOppo R5 did not exceed 4.85 mm. But times and components have changed, and it is no longer so easy to offer fine smartphones whose autonomy and power are not sacrificed on the altar of thinness.
Really a Galaxy S25?
The question that remained unanswered before the formalization of this Galaxy S25 Edge was that of its place in the S25 range. Would the smartphone be up to its three elders? According to Samsung, the answer could not be more positive, and the manufacturer is based on all solid arguments. Despite its finesse and lightness, since it weighs only 163 grams, the terminal has a large 6.7 -inch screen, like the S25+ whose QHD+ definition, the maximum luminosity of 2,600 cd/m² (2334 CD/m² under our probes) and the adaptive cooling rate (120 Hz maximum). He retains the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip from his three brothers, accompanied by 12 GB of RAM. In the radius of power and display quality, Samsung positions the device in the wake of other Galaxy S25.
Samsung does not skimp on materials to guarantee the lightness and solidity of its smartphone. It combines metal chassis with titanium finish on a vitreous back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and a screen itself premuni of shocks and scratches by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2-Unpublished technology which is not actually knowing much, except that this ceramic coating is both light and resistant. Let us not forget the IP68 certification reporting the resistance of the smartphone to water, which he shares with the whole S25 family.
To make its terminal closer to other terminals in its range and justify its price, the manufacturer the team of a 200-megapixel background, announced identical to that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and flanked by a large-angle optics (F/1.7). A second module, with 12 MP sensor and ultra-angle optics (f/2,2), accompanies it, but the telephoto lens on the other Galaxy S25 shines here by its absence. At the rank of compromises, we note the integration of a 3900 mAh battery, or 1000 mAh less than the Galaxy S25+; Caution for this still recent technology, the South Korean ignores silicon carbon and is content with a more bulky lithium-ion battery.
Should we fear autonomy at half mast? Samsung wants to be reassuring and indicates that it has integrated a steamed room larger than that of S25+ to limit the heating of its device, and preserve its endurance as its performance. The fact remains that we are entitled to wonder, and that we see that the load speed has been revised downwards, since the smartphone is satisfied with 25 W, against 45 W for the Galaxy S25+.
Fineness has a price
The Galaxy S25 EDGE will be available from May 30, after a pre -order period starting this May 13. The smartphone will be billed € 1249 in its 12/256 GB version and € 1369 in its 12/512 GB molding. If we compare the price of the device to that of the Galaxy S25+ at its launch, we see that its slimming is equivalent to an additional cost of € 80 with equal configuration. Its launch is indeed ensured under Android 15 with One UI 7and it will benefit both the usual tools of the Galaxy AI suite and the promise of 7 years of updates common to all the Galaxy S.
