The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge isn’t just another flagship phone—it’s a design statement. At a time when smartphones are growing bulkier with each generation, Samsung has flipped the narrative with a device that’s just 5.8mm thick and weighs a mere 163 grams. Unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event earlier this year, the S25 Edge had the tech world buzzing—partly for its design and partly due to its mysterious, no-touch demo policy that left many journalists (myself included) itching to get their hands on it.
Well, now the Galaxy S25 Edge is official. It starts at Rs. 1,09,999 and is headed to the Indian market soon. I’ve spent the past 24 hours using it, and here’s everything you need to know about this fascinating piece of technology.
We’re all used to new phones boasting better cameras, faster processors, and brighter displays. But with the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung seems to be shifting the conversation toward form factor. This phone is shockingly thin. You notice it the second you pick it up. The edges feel smooth, there’s almost no bezel, and it easily slips into any pocket without the bulk we’ve grown accustomed to.
At 5.8mm, the S25 Edge challenges what we expect from flagship smartphones. And it’s not just thin—it feels premium. The brushed aluminum frame combined with curved glass panels on both sides gives it a luxurious feel that’s hard to describe in words.
Samsung’s display game has always been top-tier, and the S25 Edge carries on that tradition with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. The colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and the refresh rate is buttery smooth—up to 120Hz. But it’s the edge-to-edge design that steals the show. The screen subtly curves on the sides, enhancing the illusion that you’re holding nothing but a pane of light and color.
Whether you’re watching YouTube, scrolling through Instagram, or gaming, the visual experience is immersive and crisp. Even under direct sunlight, the display holds up well thanks to its peak brightness levels.
When you look at a phone this slim, it’s natural to wonder if there’s enough room for high-end internals. But Samsung hasn’t cut corners. The Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor (in select regions) and paired with 12GB RAM. Storage options start at 256GB, with higher configurations available.
In real-world usage, the phone handles multitasking, gaming, and heavy apps with ease. I opened over a dozen apps, played Genshin Impact at high settings, and edited 4K videos—all without any stutter. It’s clear that this is a performance beast hidden inside a featherweight chassis.
Samsung has managed to pack a versatile triple-camera setup on the back of the S25 Edge:
Initial shots are impressive. The main sensor captures detail-rich photos with accurate colors and strong dynamic range. Low-light performance is surprisingly solid, thanks to Samsung’s advanced image processing.
The front houses a 12MP selfie camera, neatly tucked into a tiny punch-hole cutout. Selfies are crisp, and video calling quality is excellent—great for content creators or frequent video callers.
This is where things get interesting. A thinner phone usually means compromises on battery size. The S25 Edge houses a 4100mAh battery, which is decent but not groundbreaking. However, Samsung’s optimization and the power efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip work wonders.
In my first day of usage, I got around 6-7 hours of screen-on time, including browsing, photography, YouTube, and some gaming. It supports 45W fast charging, and I was able to juice it up from 0 to 70% in about 30 minutes.
Running on Android 15 with One UI 7, the software experience is as smooth as you’d expect. The animations are fluid, Samsung’s customization options are vast, and the UI feels refined. Samsung’s commitment to four years of OS updates and five years of security patches also makes the S25 Edge a future-proof purchase.
Despite its thin profile, the S25 Edge doesn’t skimp on essential features:
The only notable omission is the headphone jack—which is unsurprising for a device this thin—and there’s no microSD card slot, which may disappoint some power users.
Samsung has taken a risk with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it largely pays off. It challenges the notion that more powerful smartphones must be bigger and bulkier. By delivering flagship performance in an ultra-thin body, Samsung has opened a new chapter in smartphone design.
This isn’t just a tech product—it’s an experience. It feels like holding the future in your hands.
