The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the herald of a brand new pattern in high-end smartphones – a concentrate on a skinny and light-weight design. Nevertheless, final week’s ballot clearly exhibits that there are a number of key points that should be addressed earlier than this pattern will get off the bottom and the S25 Edge isn’t the mannequin that may see it accomplished.
The primary concern is one that may be corrected – at $1,100/€1,250/₹110,000 it’s simply too costly. We don’t doubt that there will likely be reductions and offers down the road, however how low will it go? Low sufficient to persuade practically 23% of voters to rethink? That is still to be seen.
Different points can’t be mounted so simply – the three,900mAh battery rightly causes considerations about battery life. That will likely be one of many extra vital exams after we overview the Edge. Silicon-Carbon batteries have helped producers enhance battery capability to some spectacular numbers, however Samsung is late to the social gathering. Possibly it would have the tech prepared for the S26 Edge, however that gained’t assist the 2025 mannequin.
Some commenters noticed the positives of the Edge design – telephones have gotten heavier through the years, too heavy, maybe. And the S25 Edge weighs principally the identical because the vanilla S25, regardless of providing a a lot bigger display.
The digital camera is one other concern – the 200MP fundamental module appears promising (one other factor that we are going to concentrate on within the overview), however omitting a telephoto module on a flagship is never a good suggestion.
For now the conclusion is easy – most individuals will get one of many different Galaxy S25 fashions or a non-Samsung flagship and only some will choose the Galaxy S25 Edge as their subsequent telephone.
