- Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge received 3C certification in China
- This certification reveals a small 3900 mAh battery and 25W charging
- This suggests that Samsung might have sacrificed too much to make the phone thin
For a while we suspected that Samsung might have sacrificed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s battery capacity to achieve its slim form factor, and now we have a better idea of exactly how big a sacrifice it has made.
According to a 3C certification seen by @yabhishekhd (via Android Police), the Galaxy S25 Edge has only a 3900 mAh battery. This is despite it being rumored to have a 6.7-inch screen, which would make it as big and likely to drain a lot of battery as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, a phone with a 4,900 mAh battery.
So that’s quite worrying and suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might struggle to last a full day.

The certification also mentions a 25W charging speed, which is also disappointing, as while that would put it in line with the Samsung Galaxy S25, it’s much slower than the 45W figure the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. in.
Of course, none of this will be confirmed until Samsung reveals the phone’s specifications, but 3C is an official Chinese certification agency that phone makers must submit their devices to before they can be released in China, so it’s likely that your information is accurate.
Too many commitments
So, coupled with the fact that we know the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge only has two rear cameras, this could be a seriously compromised phone, all for the sake of slimming it down a bit.
Price will also be a factor in our final impressions, but it’s not expected to be a cheap phone either, with previous leaks and rumors suggesting it could sit somewhere between the $999.99 / £999 / AU$1,699 Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and the $1,299.99 / £1,249 / AU$2,149 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Hopefully, we’ll have more clarity on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge soon. Samsung hasn’t revealed a launch date yet, but given that the phone has been teased and has already gone through a certification agency, it’s probably not more than a few months away.
