Samsung Launches Ultra-Thin New 'Galaxy S25 Edge' Smartphone

Summary

• Thinnest Samsung smartphone yet at just 5.8 millimeters
• Slimmed down but still has the same powerful flagship processor – Snapdragon 8 Elite – as the rest of the S25 series

Samsung has updated its Galaxy S lineup with the introduction of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a new version of its Galaxy S25 flagship phone that packs many of the same features – including the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor – in a slimmed down body.

The South Korean brand describes its new device as a “compact smartphone” and “first-of-its-kind”. Indeed, the Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s slimmest smartphone yet and measures in at just 5.8 millimeters thin. It features a refined, modern design that includes a frame made from titanium, a metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes the Galaxy S25 Edge both durable and incredibly lightweight at only 163 grams. Adding to the device’s sturdiness, Samsung partnered with materials science company Corning and used one of its latest innovative materials for the phone’s display: “Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2”, as it’s known, hasn’t been used in a smartphone before now and it’s described as being highly durable with “crack deflection capabilities” owing to its unique composition.

The Galaxy S25 Edge features a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X display that is enhanced by Samsung’s proprietary Adaptive Vision Booster technology. It has a total of 3120 x 1440 pixels (Quad HD+), putting its resolution in between 2K (2048 × 1080 pixels) and 4K (3840 × 2160 pixels) displays, with an adaptive refresh rate that ranges between 1Hz to 120Hz helping to prolong battery life.

Unlike the other phones in the S25 series, the Edge features only two rear cameras – a 200MP main and a 12 MP ultra-wide – though this is unsurprising given the how slim it is in comparison. It also has a 12 MP front-facing selfie camera, but notably it lacks a dedicated telephoto camera.

Samsung’s Galaxy AI is included, too, and the brand has stated that it has been “integrated at almost every touchpoint” from simple tasks to being supported natively in various third-party applications.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is available now with two storage options, 256GB or 512GB, and a range of colors including “Titanium Silver”, “Titanium Jetblack” and “Titanium Icyblue”. Prices start at £1,099 GBP / $1,099.99 USD.
