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.

3900mAh to power a Snapdragon 8 Elite with only 25W WIRED charging? For how much money?? Only to put a case on it anyway??? LMAO! Why would anyone in their mind buy this????

    It's just downgraded S25+. Not worth the attention & price.

      the ones who'd use this phone are either Samsung fanboys or people who dont really care too much about their tech. Thus, the potential customers of this phone are not going to be found on sites like this I believe so this poll would be pointless.

      Even if we were to say that someone would've wanted a phone like this, the pricing just kills any effective demand they would've had. This is neither small nor an exceptional value for money, in the middle of nowhere with a weird gimmick that not many, if any, asked for.

        ProMaxUltraAreBricks, 18 May 2025Compete with who exactly? Chinese endless spam of mid-range... moreSaid chinese m idrange endless junk have far more specs for less price than Samsung and other so called non chinese brands. Also they are offered in much better user friendly price.

          Bodygard, 18 May 2025Samsung should've waited another year and launch a pro... moreWhen samsung will start using SiCa batteries world and phones will be already using BV100 nuclear powered battery cell with 50-60 years life span.

            DarlingYext, 18 May 2025A good flagship usually offers flagship features, not just ... moreJust be honest as me its mopre a crapship than a flagship.
            It reminds me of Poco F1 of the old times.
            Snappgradon SD845 on board alog with tons of mediocre features. but at least for 350 eur pricing.
            This acting like an unbeatable super hero from Marvel universe but actually got beaten because its hero skills lasts only for a short term of use then the phone needs a deep sleep to be used again for a very short time.
            Its like trying to fly with a X43 super secret plane from Area 51 in USA which have mach 10 capabilities but you are limited by a cable.

              No offense, Peter is trying to make sure us when you need a better phone and he introduces the stuff into, but sometimes you don't need to preach a voting event when the famous OEMs is in selfish mod, produces underdog niches for utter inferiority. I mean why you don't try understand people reactions when the things arrive, so things doesn't end stupid like "Weekly pool results: Galaxy S25 Edge is promising but availablity is the issue".

                kdss, 18 May 2025"flagship" 😁😁😁😁😁More like a Crapship than a flagship to be honest apart the CPU and GPU and one main camera there is nothing flagship grade.
                Even a Oneplus 13R is more flagship grade phone than S25 lite or edge.

                  aknsreddy, 18 May 2025Samsung will get resounding rejection with this phone. Sams... moreCompete with who exactly? Chinese endless spam of mid-range junk (Samsung is also good at this) ? Or those bulky so-called "ultra" flagships, that Chinese phone maker can't even bother to release globally?

                  Globally, these Chinese companies are mostly nobodies. Maybe they'd actually dare to launch their "ultra" phones worldwide if they weren't so allergic to respecting patents and international laws. Why would Samsung even care about them for now.

                    nah skip this phone. slim is NOT meaning to downgrade. but slim is also needs superior large battery from 5800mah to 6500mah

                    i mean SIC battery is fair at much because of innovate.

                      Bodygard, 18 May 2025Samsung should've waited another year and launch a pro... moreMy thoughts around Samsung Battery team is like if you tell them " you can easily put a 6000mah battery in s24fe or something " they be like " ohhh heeeeck noooo ewwwww get out of here " 😂 they just like allergic to it

                        Samsung will get resounding rejection with this phone. Samsung can't compete with chinese anymore

                          GAMIR3DH, 18 May 2025Not my kind of phone, but im sure it would feel great to us... moreSaw one at a store yesterday... It feels very bad, totally uncomfortable to hold.

                            Not my kind of phone, but im sure it would feel great to use with no case.

                              st0rmtr00per, 18 May 2025Oh no I don't want a flagship. I can do 95% of what I ... moreIn that case I would recommend the OnePlus Nord CE4.

                                25 edge is the right flagship to be discard from my options, no hesitation

                                  Not slim enough for my liking, needs to be 1mm thinner

                                    Ouifuf, 18 May 2025Where's the "No super slim phones are dumb" ... moreI would vote for that option ngl

                                      Pay 1250 EUR for a phone that you'll have to charge every few hours. That alone should be a deal breaker for most, as power guzzling specs don't matter when the phone has no battery to keep it running for more than few hours.
                                      Just imagine after a year of use when battery degrades a bit... oh boy.

                                        Oh no I don't want a flagship. I can do 95% of what I can do with a flagship on my budget Galaxy A13 and I Dave a truckload of money.
                                        But I like the design of the S25 edge and especially the camera design.
