The new Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE combines part of the best Samsung technology of its leading flagship phones and adds some new wrinkles to offer a new and exciting Android smartphone that is already widely known as one of the thinnest phones on the market.
It does not have a new chip, but the one that has, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, is the best thing you can get for Android. It lacks a teleobjective, but includes the equivalent of the best 200MP camera in Samsung. It is a mainly uncompromising smartphone that promises practically all the characteristics that you can find in the ultra more expensive galaxy s25 (save the pen).
But what is paying $ 1,099.99 / £ 1.099 / Au $ 1,849 is an incredibly slender titanium frame, one that feels thin and, with only 163 grams, exceptionally light. Although I know the specifications, 5.8 mm, I struggled to find a way to put that measurement in perspective.
That is why I brought a small collection of rooms to my first practical experience with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. I think that a quarterfinals next to Samsung’s new Galaxy S phone helps contextualize these clampor statements.
Is it as thin as a six -quarter pile? What about five? And how does that compare with other phones, even thin telephones of a past era?
That is the thing about thinness. It seems to get out of fashion. Sometimes we prefer ZAPTIG to, for example, the benefits of the battery it offers, and other times, we get tired of carrying all that extra weight and dreaming of thin paper phones.
However, thin phones have their risks.
The time arc bends
When we think about the icon of the thinness of the phone, the iPhone 6 Plus, many of us also remember Bless. It was then that Apple built a 6.9 mm thick iPhone that could not face a butt, or at least resist being squeezed between a rear and a hard surface such as a concrete chair or reproduction.
A year later, Apple continued with the iPhone 6s of 7.1 mm and, after that, the iPhone 7, which presented a larger reinforced aluminum. That ended with Bless and, for a while, our desire for ultradelgated phones.
Now, however, they are back. According to reports, Apple is preparing an air of the iPhone 17 that could even exceed the S25 edge in thinness. However, Samsung has the advantage, working on thin phones even before the release of the S25 edge.
The company’s executives told me that Samsung’s work in his folding line has prepared it well to build this thin phone. Show, the galaxy z fold 6 has only 5.6 mm thick. Yes, even thinner than the S25 edge.
If you ask why the S25 edge has a couple of millimeters thicker than the Z fold, remember that Samsung can divide the 4,200 mAh battery of that device between the two halves. Samsung had to place the 3,900 mAh battery of the S25 edge in a single 5.8 mm panel.
Could this small portion of technological sky lead another “bless”? I doubt.
The flat titanium band that surrounds the body of the S25 Edge is much more rigid and less flexible than the curved aluminum body of the iPhone 6 Plus. In addition, Samsung is using the new Gorilla Glass Glass ceramics on the screen to further strengthen the phone.
It was with all this in mind that I took my room pile and put my work measuring true thinness based on a currency scale.

- Classic iPhone (7.1 mm): 4 rooms
- iPhone 16 Pro Max (8.25 mm): 5 rooms
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (8.2 mm) 5 rooms
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8 mm): 3 rooms
While this is not an exact science, the Modern Us Brimt has reliably remained a thickness of 1.75 mm since at least the 1930s. Even so, my results make sense when compared to the real thickness of each phone in millimeters. The S25 Edge is the clear leader.
My little experiment shows that in the most physical sense, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is one of the thinnest phones on the market. Of course, it may not seem like a great test. But, hey, what else was going to do with this quarterfinal stack?
For now, I suggest that you go to a Samsung retailer to at least touch the edge of Galaxy S25 Super Delgado for you. The rooms are optional.
