Samsung’s new Galaxy phone is razor thin, but will it affect performance?

Samsung has just revealed its long-rumoured, ultra-thin smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Measuring just 5.8mm thin and weighing 163g, the S25 Edge is designed to be lightweight, powerful and durable, and uses a premium titanium chassis to protect its svelte proportions. The phone goes on sale on 30 May, starting at £1,099 for the 256GB model.

Unsurprisingly, the S25 Edge feels improbably thin. The 5.8mm body of the phone is interrupted only by a dual-lens camera array, smaller than that of the main S25 range, housing a 200MP main lens and 12MP ultrawide lens with macro capabilities. Hold it face on, and the S25 Edge is indistinguishable from the rest of the S25 line-up. Look at it from the side, and it’s barely there.
