Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone review: thinness, battery life, and AI-powered features tested. After spending time in online forums debating whether Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is worth buying, I swapped my iPhone for an Android to compare sides.
At first glance, the Galaxy S25 Edge looks like an ordinary flagship, ticking the trend boxes with a high price and extreme thinness, which raises questions about battery life. After reading praise from new Galaxy owners and from skeptics who questioned its design, battery performance, and AI features, I decided to assess what the device offers and whether it could replace my current iPhone 16 Pro.
One of the first things I noticed after unboxing the Galaxy S25 Edge was its slim and lightweight build. The iPhone 16 Pro weighs about 200 grams and is 8.25 mm thick, while the Galaxy S25 Edge weighs 163 grams and is 5.8 mm thick.
The ongoing trend of making smartphones bigger yet thinner continues, though users often report preferring thicker phones for better battery life.
- Weight comparison: Galaxy S25 Edge is lighter at 163 g vs. iPhone 16 Pro at ~200 g.
- Thickness: Galaxy S25 Edge at 5.8 mm vs. iPhone 16 Pro at 8.25 mm.
- Question of battery life: thinner devices may sacrifice capacity, which users frequently note.
