Samsung has set the bar higher yet again in the premium segment of smartphones with the launch of Galaxy S25 Edge in India. As the thinnest device from the Galaxy S series to be launched till date, this powerhouse is a mix of cutting-edge technology and classy design, reasserting Samsung’s supremacy in the high-end smartphone category.
Slimmest Galaxy Yet
What stands out about the Galaxy S25 Edge at first sight is its ultra-thin build. At a mere 5.85mm in thickness, it is the thinnest Galaxy S-series phone to have ever been launched. Samsung was able to slim down the phone’s profile remarkably without cutting corners on durability or performance. This design shift simply mirrors consumer tastes today towards phones that are thinner, more pocket-friendly while still being heavy-hitters.
To add strength to this slender frame, Samsung has employed Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a newer kind of strong material that is more resistant to scratches and drops than earlier models. The frame of the phone is made from a light but strong aluminum alloy, adding strength without weight.
Immersive QHD+ Display
The Galaxy S25 Edge has a gorgeous 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display provides rich blacks, rich colors, and great brightness, which is perfect for streaming, gaming, and working on the move. Samsung has also refined the bezels to offer users almost edge-to-edge experience with symmetrical edges and a subtly curved edge design—befitting the “Edge” name.
With Vision Booster and adaptive brightness improvements, outdoor visibility has been dramatically enhanced to enable effortless use in direct sunlight. HDR10+ support makes video content look rich and cinematic.
Powerhouse Performance
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, Qualcomm’s newest and most sophisticated processor. Based on a 3nm architecture, the chip delivers significant improvements in CPU and GPU processing and boosts energy efficiency. Coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the phone is optimized for multitasking, gaming, and content creation.
Samsung’s One UI 7, powered by Android 15, introduces AI-powered optimizations to the S25 Edge. The operating system provides smoother animations, smart app pre-loading, and enhanced power management. Samsung’s DeX mode also makes a comeback, converting the phone into a desktop-like experience when connected to an external screen.
Photography Reimagined: 200MP Camera
One of the most impressive aspects of the Galaxy S25 Edge is its 200MP main rear camera, employing Samsung’s ISOCELL HP3 sensor. The camera takes mobile photography to the next level, producing crystal-clear details with great clarity. Samsung’s new computational photography algorithms assist the sensor in providing improved low-light capture, dynamic range, and color accuracy.
Alongside the primary sensor are a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 10MP periscope telephoto camera with up to 5x optical zoom and 100x Space Zoom. The 32MP front camera sits inside a centered punch-hole with AI enhancements for selfies and video calling.
Selfie and video call-taking are improved with these cameras.
Photographers will welcome the overhauled Pro Mode, RAW photo capability, and AI-driven scene optimization for light environments.
AI Integration and Smart Features
The S25 Edge makes a giant leap in artificial intelligence. New on-device AI models enable quicker voice recognition, real-time translation, and enhanced photo and video editing. Features such as AI Photo Assist can crop, improve, and fix photos automatically, while AI Note Summarizer enhances productivity for working professionals on the go.
A new “Smart Call Screening” capability employs AI to identify spam calls in real time, minimizing interruptions. AI is also involved in battery life by understanding user behavior and adjusting background operations accordingly.
Battery and Charging
Thin though it may be, the Galaxy S25 Edge still accommodates a 4,500mAh battery, courtesy of Samsung’s new PCB design that saves space and stacked battery design. This yields all-day use for the majority of users.
The device supports 45W wired charging, 25W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. Samsung claims a 50% charge in just under 25 minutes using its fast charger (sold separately).
Durability and Connectivity
IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, Galaxy S25 Edge is designed to withstand real-world wear and tear. Submersed up to 1.5 meters in water, the device will withstand up to 30 minutes, providing comfort for users who are worried about environmental exposure.
In connectivity, it has 5G SA/NSA, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and NFC. It is future-proofed for high-speed data and smart home connectivity.
Eco-Conscious Packaging
Samsung continues to drive sustainability with the S25 Edge being delivered in plastic-free, recyclable packaging. The phone itself contains recycled materials in its build, including ocean-bound plastics and reused aluminum.
Price and Availability
The Galaxy S25 Edge is out in India priced at ₹89,999 (around $1,099 USD). The three stylish finishes – Obsidian Black, Titanium Silver, and Mystic Emerald – have gone on pre-book within the week with full sales expected to commence before May 2025 ends.
Pre-order customers can also enjoy special perks such as Samsung Care+, bonus trade-in, and early priority access to premium accessories like the Galaxy Buds3 Pro.
Final Thoughts
With the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung has effectively achieved an amazing balance between form, functionality, and innovation. It’s not only a smartphone—it’s a statement device that brings high-end functionality in a stunningly-designed case.
Whether you’re a tech-savvy user, a phone gamer, professional seeking a strong yet fashionable device, the Galaxy S25 Edge is one of the most appealing flagship models of 2025.
