        Both of the phones are just good loking fashion, nothing more. Inferior batteries at least to say. Ain't gonna buy those. But good for ladies who doesn't use their phones that often, this is typical lady bar phone - slim, good loking phone for every pocket or purse. Nothing more than that.

            S25 Edge wireless charging in Lexus causes a repetitive 3 blink LED error code.
            Will try Z Fold 7 next and iPhone 17 Pro soon.

              It is Samsung that made the slim phone better according to the specs described by GSM Arena. The 2% within mm length advantage on iPhone thickness is less significant.

              Samsung can carry higher battery capacity in that slim body while iPhone is not. But it won't be deal breaker as iPhone's fan wouldn't care of the thin differences between both devices. Just like they don't much care on the higher price.

              On the battery Samsung seems better but if we take a closer look on the pixel density or the screen resolution and the number of cores of the SOC used by Samsung meaning it has more battery consumption compared to less screen resolution and less cores number on iPhone's SOC. Not to mention what iPhone OS can do much more on it due to more optimized I guess. So it shows the deviation on the battery would not contribute much on the Screen On Time. Both of them will act similarly at the end.

              Thinking about those things probably would not change much on the sales. iPhone is just iPhone and Samsung is just Samsung. Both of them have been the best of Smartphone manufacturers so far.

                s25 edge in Indonesia has lost 30% of its launch price, only took 4 months. You can get it around $820 for base variant

                  I prefer the S25 Edge coz prefer the matt look over the glossy look, as well as the fact that converting a physical SIM card to an e-SIM is an expensive ordeal in many nations. The S25 Edge solves that issue.
                  The 200 MP camera also seems to be at an advantage as it can record videos at 8K resolution @ 30 fps & 4K @ up to 120 fps, all with a physical SIM card, 2 rear cameras and a significantly larger battery.
                  Damn, considering these factors and the price gap, the S25 Edge seems like my preffered choice of product.

                    You could have just said that the iPhone has a mono speaker at the beggining and most people could have saved themselves the extra time reading :D.

                      The Edge S25 comes out on top over the Air but only because it has a bigger battery.

                        Samsung clear winner here, though I don't get why he need to have such slim phones that we can bend

                          Abady, 14 Sep 2025Tecno Pova Slim better than them both.Tecno Pova Slim doesn't even come close to either one, only benefit is cost

                            Other than availability by region, the S25 Edge is the better here

                              Tecno Pova Slim better than them both.

Saying that you shot at 50mp in itself is very fishy. If you wanted high resolution, you could have used 200mp. And the sensor is bigger on the 200mp wide. So you will have noisier images with iPhone. But who I am to argue, you will love to choose an inferior single camera system right?

                                        -Are you advertising the iPhone Air battery powerbank accessory? Because the entire point of slim phones are to be light weight. For you to reject S25 Edge because your "powerbank" didn't fit is definitely a very smart move. Go ahead with iPhone Air and then slap on a heavy powerbank. Your phone will now weigh 250+ g. Enjoy :D
