Samsung Launches Ultra-Thin New ‘Galaxy S25 Edge’ Smartphone

The South Korean brand describes its new device as a “compact smartphone” and “first-of-its-kind”. Indeed, the Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s slimmest smartphone yet and measures in at just 5.8 millimeters thin. It features a refined, modern design that includes a frame made from titanium, a metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes the Galaxy S25 Edge both durable and incredibly lightweight at only 163 grams. Adding to the device’s sturdiness, Samsung partnered with materials science company Corning and used one of its latest innovative materials for the phone’s display: “Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2”, as it’s known, hasn’t been used in a smartphone before now and it’s described as being highly durable with “crack deflection capabilities” owing to its unique composition.

The Galaxy S25 Edge features a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X display that is enhanced by Samsung’s proprietary Adaptive Vision Booster technology. It has a total of 3120 x 1440 pixels (Quad HD+), putting its resolution in between 2K (2048 × 1080 pixels) and 4K (3840 × 2160 pixels) displays, with an adaptive refresh rate that ranges between 1Hz to 120Hz helping to prolong battery life.

Unlike the other phones in the S25 series, the Edge features only two rear cameras – a 200MP main and a 12 MP ultra-wide – though this is unsurprising given the how slim it is in comparison. It also has a 12 MP front-facing selfie camera, but notably it lacks a dedicated telephoto camera.
