Pros of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Ultra-Slim and Lightweight Design: At just 5.8 mm thick and only 163g, it offers unmatched portability and a sleek, comfortable in-hand feel compared to other large flagship phones.
Flagship Performance: It features the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor and 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance for all apps and games.
High-Resolution Main Camera: It is equipped with a 200 MP main camera sensor (similar to the S25 Ultra), which captures exceptional detail in good lighting.
Premium Build Quality: The phone uses a Titanium frame and durable Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front, providing a high-end, sturdy feel despite its thinness.
Extensive Software Support: Like other S25 models, it comes with Samsung's commitment to provide up to seven years of major Android OS and security updates.
Cons of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Shorter Battery Life: The slim design necessitates a smaller 3,900 mAh battery, which generally results in a shorter battery life compared to the S25 Plus and Ultra models.
No Dedicated Telephoto Camera: To save space, it lacks a dedicated optical zoom lens, limiting its versatility for long-distance photography compared to its peers.
Slower Wired Charging: The device is limited to 25W wired charging (with no charger in the box), which is significantly slower than the 45W speed supported by the S25 Plus and Ultra.
No Expandable Storage: The phone does not include a microSD card slot, meaning storage capacity cannot be increased beyond the internal size purchased.
Steep Price for the Compromises: It is often priced between the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, which many find expensive given the sacrifices in battery and camera versatility for the sake of thinness.
