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.

Sort by:

no, never.
absolutely pathetic phone 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

    I managed to get my hands-on this thing. The thickness difference, even when compared with S25, is barely observable. The weight difference was noticeable, but not by as much as when comparing iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2.

      Pumpino, 19 hours agoTerrible battery life, terrible cameras and a terrible UI, ... moreI agree for the most part but why terrible cameras ? It has the same sensor as S Ultra right ?

        Terrible battery life, terrible cameras and a terrible UI, but it must be a flagship because of its chip and because it costs a lot from a well known brand. What a joke.

          Come on GSMA is that even a question to ask?😂

            Where's the "No super slim phones are dumb" option?

              Rumors that the iPhone Slim will only come with 2900mha 💀👻

                    I'm going to hold my final opinion on it until I handle the phone personally. So far, I like the target weight. I'm getting tired of phones going more than 200g. Technology should advance towards miniaturization, not getting bulkier and heavier. So lighter phones are good in my book.

                    But I'm skeptical about the actual dimensions. I'm still in the camp of the regular Galaxy S to be the almost perfect size for a phone with flagship features. So gotta hold it in person to see if the thinness would offer better handling.

                    In short, this is the future. Battery tech was the bottleneck for smaller/lighter phone. Now the tech is here. Can't wait for the future versions of these slim phones with denser batteries. The S25 Edge is clearly a test for the new design, and I would definitely be excited for future iterations of the concept.

                      The concept of thin phones isn't new, the below average specs that come with a thin device aren't new either, the price however is new, just not in a good way. So what's actually so revolutionary about this device?

                          4000mah is suboptimal, but you can live with it even if you use your phone significantly. Not the phone for gorilla descendant me though, frailty concerns.

                            Not the right phone for anybody. Its e-waste, and harms your wallet as well as the environment.

                              When the price drops and if it does, well to have it as a second option and just because it is light, yes, but only if it drops to a fair price.

                                samsung "flagship" having 3900 mAh in 2025, simply NO

                                  If Samsung used the Galaxy S25 Edge to showcase their new battery tech similar to silicon carbide, I could still consider it. But since they didn't, it's an easy pass for me.

                                    dbizzle, 20 hours agoWhere is the "NO, this is trash" option?The only good thing about this phone for this price is that it pollutes the environment with only 163 grams. But the bad thing is that it is already a waste at the moment of production...

                                      A good flagship usually offers flagship features, not just a flagship price, this one only offers the latter. Boring thin slab with midrange capabilities, but flagship chipset for the price of an Ultra flagship.

                                        At that price with that tiny body slim battery and questionable specs which saying apart the CPU and GPU and maybe main camera there is anyhing else flagship grade its more a gimmick and a flop than a phone worth to buy and try.
                                        But lets see what Jerryrigeverything bench table will say about this device.
                                        My prediction is samsung BendGate 1.0.
