When I first heard Samsung was bringing back the Edge name as a new super-thin member of the S25 family, all I could think was: Why? Honestly, I thought phone makers had gotten over their hunger for thinness nearly a decade ago.

There’s a new contender in the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup, and it’s aimed squarely at the phone obsessives who want just a little bit less. With the ultra-thin S25 Edge, Samsung is officially celebrating the age of the thinner smartphone. The new Galaxy S25 Edge offers similar features to even the flagship S25 Ultra, only with a slimmer body.

Samsung's ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge flagship has a smaller battery than the S25, and it's definitely bad news for screen-on time.
