What owners report

  • “So, I would consider, that the first modern phone (meaning the form factor without bezels and with all screen) I've had was zenfone 6, with the rotating camera module. While I've had fun with the gimmick, after 2 years the weight kinda got old, but more importantly the two motherboard failures got old way waster, I've even had two different units. But I loved the uninterrupted display without selfie camera punch hole. [...] But this year, the battery started to go, and I was considering to replace it or look for something new. Toyed with the idea of a flip, but what put the idea of going through official shops was almost no trade in value due to burned in screen on S23, almost unnoticeable, but still tanking the price. So I was ready to just get the new battery and soldier on with the remaining two years of updates, but suddenly the s25 edge started to pop up at reasonable prices. [...] And with the edge, I almost have the same screen size as my old zenfone 6...”

  • “Mate I use a nice thick case so I don't drop it, I didn't buy it for the thinness I bought it for how light it was fed up of heavy phones, but I like tall screen phones so a standard s25 wasn't going to cut it, and the budget phones are the right size but the specs are rubbish and so are the OS updates I literally had no choice but to buy this and slap a case on it, oh also I got this used at £329 immaculate body, sides and cameras, just a very few very light scratches on the screen I can barely notice, so I'm happy with what I got”

  • “Not once do I remember thinking "I would like this phone to be thinner", yet I wish that this thing would have a bigger battery almost daily. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was first with a thinner phone (and some Motorola that most people have probably never heard of?). But it is also quite misplaced, since they just released the 27 Pro, which moves the (stacked) logic board close to the camera to be able to fit a larger battery, going from 3582 mAh in the 16 Pro to 4252 mAh in the 17 Pro (both US eSIM capacities, 18.7% more!). But they also used the space to add a vapor chamber for better sustained performance. [...] battery life. [...] sustained performance. - One back camera vs three back cameras. I like this year's line-up because there is much more choice: getting the absolute thinnest phone, getting an absolute performance monster with a large battery and plenty of cameras, or getting a great middle ground, which is almost as light as the thin phone, but has longer battery life, and one more camera, and no lousy 60Hz display this year.”

  • “I have Samsung S25 Edge which is essentially same thickness (5.8mm) the biggest difference is weight, phone feels really light compared to my old phone. [...] Battery life is alright. [...] If I am using it a little bit more, then it is barely one day of battery life. [...]”

Common Galaxy S25 Edge problems

Problems most owners who mention them agree on, plus ones owners are split on.

  • Software & AI2 owners report this
  • PerformanceOwners split: 2 complain, 2 happy

    “I have been reading the leaked info on the S27 line and nothing seems like a have to have form or set of features, so for me it's going to be the S25 Edge until a new thin model comes out that can beat it on performance and features.”
