Weekly poll: is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge the right flagship for you?

18 May 2025
The Edge tries to take things in a new direction - slimming down a flagship and making it lighter instead of packing on new features. But that comes at a cost.

    It's crazy to see how a company can make a magnificent product and a dumb product and launch them in the same year 💀🫥

      Other than it's thinness, it doesn't really excel in anything. Subpar camera system for the price, ridiculous battery size, and very slow charging.
      You'd be better of looking for another flagship that's a bit cheaper but with better specs.

The selfie camera on the S24 is excellent, but the primary camera is terrible. I have one at the moment, and colours and quality are worse than my Reno13 and Edge 50 Neo.

          Samsung is making a huge blunder by positioning this phone above the plus

          This phone is only comparable to regular S25
          And it's not worth more than $600 realistically

            True, just the same way 1/5" sensor is better than a 1/1.5" sensor 😒

                Why not? It's better than S25+ except the battery a bit but nothing scary. The 10MP 3x in the Plus variant is inferior , 200MP main sensor can crop 3 times with no problems and no loss, and it has the UW also. Main sensor much better than the Plus and also thinner phone.
                This is the true Plus variant and the next year probably it will replace it (hopefully).

                  Not really. My s24 plus is still great. Will wait for s27 plus next. If they kill the plus models will go for s27 ultra.

                    Premium? You can't look premium with soda glued caps. You did well that you hid this misunderstanding in the design with a skin. It is also not a premium to remove the bluetooth features of the pen and turn it into the most ordinary toothpick, but for 1300 euros it is an innovation like Edge... 🤣

                      At least Samsung isn't desperate enough to slap a giant, thick "black washing machine" camera bump with fake lenses drawn onto it on their flagships, just to pretend they have more cameras than they do. Like the last Vivo "Ultra" half-baked cheap looking flagship.
                      Some "designs" are just more sad attempts to look premium. Let's move on, now.

                        Note7 owner, 6 hours agoThis isn't a flagship phone in 2025. It's barely a phone, let alone a flagship one.

                          I am not buying the Edge because I don't consider it as flagship.
                          Flagship phone is not allowed to have such a terrible battery and slow charging speed

With a gap to collect dirt. This probably raises the price of an already overpriced phone. 🤣🤣🤣 Samsung design thinking of the highest class.
                            I have nothing to dream about. There are enough complaints about this in the topics here, even from die-hard Samsung fans like you. Of course, you won't "see" them, but I didn't expect anything else. My work S24+ stutters a lot on notifications. Thank God, I rarely use it anymore.

                              Nope. Same price as s25u 512gb with double up pre-order price. But more fragile and smaller battery. Same size but thinner and smaller screen overall. With that battery, the phone could easily have been 6.1" in size!

                                They even provide a bit of protection for each small camera glass on the back.
                                And, they still haven't "fallen off" my S25, and frankly, they look a hell of a lot better than some enormous, impractical, thick camera bump.
                                Especially if that huge bump, like on the X200 "Ultra", and on most other X200 models and some others, sports cheap, fake lens drawings on its gigantic camera bump to make it look like it has 4 sensors when it only has 3.
                                Seriously, is that a design feature borrowed from a sub-€100 toy phone?

                                I have no issues with opening notifications on One UI 7, keep dreaming.

                                  I don't think this is practical phone for anyone tbh. Maybe if they sell it for $300 someone might be interested

                                    This isn't a flagship phone in 2025.

                                      Do I want one? Yes. Will I actually buy one? Nah.

                                      It just doesn't do justice for your money. Sounds like a phone that you'd only buy used or refurbished.

                                        Not to mention the quality of OneUI7, which they polished for half a year and still your phone stutters when you try to open your notifications. 🤣
