Samsung’s Galaxy S25: World’s Thinnest Smartphone at 5.8mm, But With a Trade-Off
Samsung Unveils Ultra-Thin Galaxy S25 Edge: Thinnest Smartphone Yet
Samsung has launched its slimmest smartphone to date, the Galaxy S25 Edge, measuring just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams. The device, revealed at the Galaxy Unpacked event, is 34% thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro Max and features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. Priced from £1,099 (256GB) to £1,199 (512GB), it’s available for pre-order ahead of its March 30 release in Titanium Silver, Jetblack, and Icyblue.
Key Features:
- 200MP Main Camera: Matches the S25 Ultra’s camera but lacks a telephoto lens.
- 3,900mAh Battery: Samsung claims a full day of use despite its slim profile.
- Durable Build: Titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for added strength.
- AI Integration: Includes Google’s Gemini AI for photo editing and call transcription.
Trade-Offs:
- No telephoto zoom.
- Smaller battery compared to the S25 Ultra (3,900mAh vs. 5,000mAh).
Mixed Reactions:
While some praise the design, others question the focus on thinness over battery life. Social media users expressed concerns, with one stating, “I’d rather have a thicker phone with better battery.”
Final Thoughts:
The S25 Edge pushes boundaries in smartphone design, but its real-world performance will determine if it’s a hit. Will you trade battery life for sleekness? Let us know your thoughts!
