Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review: super thinness above all else

Having been instrumental in the reduction of smartphones to metal and glass slabs devoid of distinguishing features, Samsung hopes that going thinner and lighter with a special Edge edition of its high-end Galaxy S25 Android will prove design innovation isn’t dead.

The S25 Edge is very thin at just 5.8mm thick – if you ignore the camera bump on the back – making it a full 1.5mm thinner than its similarly sized S25+ sibling and about the same thickness as a stack of seven credit cards. Its light 168g weight makes it feel even thinner than the numbers suggest and photos don’t do it justice.
