I Just Read, 16 hours ago "Exactly, flagships should have better cameras than ... moreThe S25 Edge is a flagship in the ultra-thin and light category. Samsung's thinnest glass phone, packing most flagship-level hardware.
The S25 Ultra is their top-spec flagship, sure, but not everyone wants a heavy thick brick.

Like the sleek base S25 is also a compact flagship, or foldable/flip phones are flagship phones in their own class. Different phones offering most flagship features in their own class for different needs, even within the same brand.
I've never talked about it, but FE variants are budget-oriented "flagship" class, like a 16e.

That's how I see it. If you think each brand only has one true flagship, and that flagships per category cannot exist, that's okay, it's your opinion. Calm down.

    I Just Read, 16 hours ago "Exactly, flagships should have better cameras than ... more"The S25U is Samsung current flagship
    The S25 Edge, like the S25 FE, isn't
    Apple: iPhone 16 Pro max is the Flagship, IPhone16e isn't.

    ***** aka Spoiler Alert
    one FLAGSHIP phone per manufacturer"

    I won't disagree on the S25 FE and the iPhone 16e. However the S25 Edge being as expensive as is can't really be classified as anything but flagship. What about the standard S25 and S25+, Samsung's foldable phones and the iPhone 16/Plus/Pro ? Do you think those aren't flagship devices either, if so why? This time I want an honest answer, not directed at me, but as a reply to me, just so other people reading the comments can understand, I know you have a 2 comment limit per article, but this time I think we can forget about that.

    Manufacturers usually have series of flagship devices. Apple has the iPhone 16 series, but no the name alone won't make the iPhone 16e a flagship, Samsung has the S25 series, but no the name alone won't make the upcoming S25 FE a flagship, but also won't exclude the S25 Edge as being one. Other examples like vivo's older X80 series, the standard models were both flagship devices, the Pro was one obviously, but there was an X80 Lite, which clearly wasn't one, the X Note while not officially part of the series, it also came out earlier, but was very clearly a flagship device. Then there is Xiaomi, the 13 series includes many devices, the base version, the Pro and Ultra all clearly being flagships, while the Lite and the 13T, 13T Pro clearly not.

    Why would they be? My comments aren't reviews, they are my opinion, which is not the same thing, never was and it doesn't even have to be.

      WRONG

      I don't debate with Darling Yext. Your exchanges are 'circling the drain'

      If you don’t already know or are just patronising him, Darling Yext DOESN’T know et al, what constitutes "FLAGSHIP"

      DEFINITION: FLAGSHIP 'The best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization'

      The S25U is Samsung current flagship
      The S25 Edge, like the S25 FE, isn't
      Apple: iPhone 16 Pro max is the Flagship, IPhone16e isn't. Really NOT difficult to grasp, not rocket science, vocabulary.... you don't get to choose just use....correctly

      ***** aka Spoiler Alert
      one FLAGSHIP phone per manufacturer

      Samsung, Apple, Oppo Vivo Oneplus, Sony, Xiaomi Nothing, etc.
      ONE FLAGSHIP phone per manufacturer.

      Some manufacturers have an upper tier or "premium range" sitting at the top is the Flagship.

      There are some manufacturers whose 2nd tier phones are infact better than another brands flagship [1]

      Being defined as flagship is not restricted or limited to mobile phones

      Your comment is clearly wrong. If you say you transpose it to SoC, you have described Qualcomm 8S Gen 4 as Flagship also, it is NOT Snapdragon 8 Elite is

      Inserting [1] at this point, the 8S Gen 4, Exynos 2400e & Dimensity 8400 all
      "2nd tier" Soc BUT are all superior products to Googles FLAGSHIP SoC Tensor G4

      Debate with Darling Yext, NO, I correct some of the egregious text. All you get is the same UI Unparalleled Ignorance, Unsubstantiated Increasingly desperate repeated claims, it's not like he owns a Samsung or intends to ever purchase one or provides evidence, sourced from e.g Gsmarena, you literally read am article, and find the exact opposite in the hus comments.

      The only UI that works is the UNBIASED IMPARTIAL review, confirmed specs actual battery performance etc, not your hoo-ha. I can guarantee one thing virtually every text that Darling Yext has made WON'T be found in any review anywhere so best taken with a pinch of salt.
      Na and Cl in elemental form less toxic

      The S25 Edge therefore isn't described as flagship it may be referred to and linked to the other S25 members in the s25 tier.

                    Think again, it's going to be a much bigger phone with a smaller battery and less place for cooling. How could it be similar to the S25?

Simply because this isn't a performance oriented phone and anyone buying this wouldn't even care either way.

                        Well, the good part is that it has a better camera than it's in-house competitor, though lacking versatility. So if the phone is properly optimised, then the exorbitant price might just be justifiable.

And... moreNot sure what exactly are you on about with chinese flagships and them failing when it comes to battery life. Yeah, Apple is in the lead with the iPhone 16 Plus, but that's a phone with a 60hz display, and the next couple of phones aren't iPhones and they aren't Galaxy devices either. The second place is actually a vivo device with a 144hz display, so there is your efficiency. Maybe have a read and come back after you are done.

                            It is amusing watching these "ultra" Chinese phones needing massive silicon batteries to try, or fail, to keep up with the efficiency of iPhones. I can't stand iOS, but I am definitely curious about the 17 Air battery results in its thin profile.

                            The Edge, sadly, is expected to have low battery capacity and poor optimization in comparison. Still, it is interesting to have a large phone in a light and thin package with today's tech.

Your enthusiasm is commendable, but no matter how hard you try, you can't change the fact that this is an incredibly expensive phone for what it offers. A thin phone with a mediocre battery are two incompatible things and should not exist together when they ask you for a bunch of money and there is almost 2 times better battery technology on the market.

                                ProMaxUltraAreBricks, 09 May 2025Exactly, flagships should have better cameras than midrange... more"Exactly, flagships should have better cameras than midrange phones, just like the Edge delivers on that."

                                That's cool, and is that anything to be impressed by or just the basics of a flagship? I think it's the latter, but you tell me.

                                "Also battery life is subjective, it is all about how you use it and software optimization. Here, only the battery capacity is low."

                                No, it's not subjective at all, but yes it depends on how you use the device. The latter is obvious, but we know how well One UI is optimized, and thus the S25 does well. However that's a smaller phone with a smaller display (the Edge will also likely have a higher resolution display as well) and a slightly bigger battery, and more place for better cooling, so if that does well, then this obviously can't do well. I'm sorry, but it's just the way it is.

                                "And with a smaller battery to fill, why do you need fast charging anyway?"

                                Maybe because this is an ultra expensive premium device, and better features are simply expected.

                                  But wait until you understand that a smaller battery can outlast a larger one due to software and hardware optimization.
                                  An iPhone 16 Pro Max with only 4685 mAh beat every 6000+ mAh "ultra" flagship according to GSMArena battery test 2.0. Even the base iPhone 16, with its 3561 mAh battery, still beats most.
                                  Android phone makers should prioritize efficiency over huge batteries. A big battery is nice, but it misses the real issue.

                                  And with a smaller battery to fill, why do you need fast charging anyway?

                                    That's great, congratulations to Samsung for giving the best possible main sensor to their second most expensive slab phone, instead of giving one that's on their base phones. I think that should just be a given, but I guess for Samsung it's impressive. Still, I don't understand why you are comparing devices from very different price points.

                                    "Oh, and that 4 years old 12MP ultrawide still stomps all over the 8MP UW or laughable 2MP still crammed into most 2025 "mid-range" garbage."

                                    Woah, does it? Shocking that a $1200+ device would have better cameras than midrange devices. Am I supposed to be impressed, or is this a joke?

                                    While you were at it with midrange devices why not compare battery life and charging speeds as well? Oh that's because even you know that this thing would lose against anything when it comes to both of those factors.

                                        So, yeah, for a phone prioritizing sleekness, "good enough" on the UW is still miles ahead of utterly pointless on the competition budget bin.
