15% cheaper than the $600–900 median ($14.81/mo, dying phones excluded)

Our verdict

An astonishingly thin 5.8mm titanium flagship with a 200MP camera, but you trade away battery and a dedicated telephoto for the slim profile.

  • 200MP main camera shared with the Ultra
  • Flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy with 12GB RAM
  • Seven years of OS and security updates

Cons

  • Small 3900mAh battery for a 6.7-inch phone
  • No dedicated telephoto lens (digital crop only)
Best for: Buyers who prize thinness and designBest for: Photographers wanting 200MP detailBest for: Users who want a premium titanium bodyAvoid if: You need all-day battery on heavy useAvoid if: You want optical long-range zoom

Frequently asked questions

Why is the Galaxy S25 Edge battery smaller?

Its 3900mAh cell is a consequence of the ultra-thin 5.8mm chassis; expect shorter endurance than the S25+.

Does the S25 Edge have a zoom lens?

No dedicated telephoto. It pairs a 200MP main and 12MP ultra-wide, using sensor crop for 2x optical-quality zoom.

How long is the S25 Edge supported?

Seven years of OS upgrades and security updates, running through about May 2032.
