Samsung S25 Edge Hands on - What were they Thinking?

 

📱Introduction

So, you think flagship phones can’t get any slimmer? Samsung actually did it — the Galaxy S25 Edge is so thin and light, it almost doesn’t feel real. Holding it feels closer to carrying a sleek accessory than a phone, and you can bet it’ll get attention every time you pull it out. But of course, that thin profile comes with a few sacrifices. The video walks through what Samsung cut, what stayed, and who this phone is really meant for. Spoiler alert: it’s not for everyone.

📄 Summary

The video takes a detailed look at Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, a phone designed to push premium design into new territory. At just 5.8 mm thick, it’s about 30% slimmer and 25% lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it one of the thinnest flagship devices ever released. But to make the Edge so incredibly thin, Samsung had to make a few sacrifices. You won’t find the dual telephoto zoom cameras here, the laser autofocus sensor is gone, and there’s no S Pen tucked inside. The speakers aren’t as powerful, and the screen misses out on the fancy anti-reflective coating found on the Ultra. Even the battery takes a hit, dropping from 5,000 mAh to a smaller 3,900 mAh.

Even so, the Edge doesn’t cut corners on feel. It’s built with a titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, so it still feels solid and premium in the hand. The essentials remain too — a 200 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide with autofocus, and Samsung’s growing suite of AI tools, including real-time visual AI and smart editing features.

Pricing is another sticking point. The Galaxy S25 Edge launches at £1,199 in the UK, just £150 cheaper than the Ultra’s launch price — and currently sits at a similar price on Samsung’s site. That raises the question: is this a good deal, or is Samsung selling thinness as a luxury?

💡 Final Thoughts

My take on the S25 Edge is that Samsung is trying to bring back some excitement to smartphone design. Not everyone wants the biggest, heaviest phone with every single feature packed in. Some people just want something slim, stylish, and easy to carry without losing core performance. That’s exactly what the Edge delivers. The reduced battery size might sound like a drawback, but fast charging makes it far less of an issue in everyday use. For anyone who cares more about carrying a phone that’s slim, stylish, and easy to live with — rather than chasing the most powerful features — the Edge could be a really appealing choice.

In the end, the Galaxy S25 Edge feels like Samsung asking a simple question: would you trade specs for comfort? For many, the ultra-slim, lightweight design will be worth losing a few “Ultra” perks. It’s still premium, still powerful, and still exciting. That’s my take on the S25 Edge — now I want to hear yours. Do you lean toward sleek design or do you need every feature possible?
