During the last Galaxy emptying event, along with the usual Galaxy S25 devices, Samsung disturbed a new and exciting addition to the family – S25 edge.

It is not a surprise, given all the leaks, but although this device may seem, I personally think it will face a difficult time to persuade people of their pockets.

There are several reasons for that. I must say this by saying that this is a “personal opinion.” I worked on my way after many technological tricks from various companies and I think Galaxy S25 Edge is only – a way to fraud that must fail.

What is very thin?

The scientist says in courses, or a lot of spiritual and religious teachings says. This seems to apply to technology as well. I clearly remember the batch of insomnia phones. It started around 2004 with the original Motorola Razer and reached its peak two years later with Samsung X820, which is the most phone in the world at the time, only 6.9 mm thick.

All this was about 20 years ago. I still have the original Motorola Razer and the above mentioned X820 for a period of time. Allow me to tell you this: even at 6.9 mm, with lightweight plastic edges and wet edges, I felt X820 uncomfortable in the hand. At least for me.

The same trend was repeated in 2014 with phones like Oppo R5, which was only 4.85 mm, Elfie – 5.1 mm, and many other fish. The wheel made another round.

Now, gentle madness returns strongly, and Galaxy S25 edge It is a harbinger. It is 6.4 mm thick and may try to jump iPhone 17 Air, another thin phone that is rumored with an alleged thickness of 5.5 mm.

I saw Galaxy S25 edge In Barcelona during MWC and hold one before security begins walking towards me, ready to participate. the S25 edge The units hanging on nylon threads were dolls, of course, but even the doll felt comfortable and uncomfortable in my hands. He reminded me of ancient Samsung x820.

During my presence in MWC, I also touched the preliminary model of the Tecno Spark Slim smartphone, which was a wonderful 5.75 mm thick. It is still, very comfortable in the hand.

I was facing a similar experience with the latest folds. Get it; The more thinner is detected, the more they feel in the hand in a folded state. However, a thick 4.35 mm phone feels weak and wrapped. It is very thin, at least for me.

I realize that this part is somewhat personal, but don’t you prefer a 10,000 mAh battery in the 9-10 mm phone across these high thin devices? I would like. This will be a real innovation.

I am sorry, how much did you say it will cost?

Although the thickness may be subjective and that everyone feels (intended from puns) differently on this topic, solid criticism is very objective. According to the latest rumors, Galaxy S25 edge The north will cost $ 1,000, claim – 1099 dollars.

It is a lot of money for the double camera phone that is a little thinner than a Galaxy S25 Or even Galaxy S25 Plus, which is still cheaper at $ 999.

There is nothing especially imagined about the devices. It is rumored that obtaining the latest elite Snapdragon 8 (exactly like other members of the S25 family), a 6.7 -inch FHD+ and 400 PPI, 8 GB RAM, and a 3900 mAh battery. The main camera is expected to be a 200 -megapixel sensor, but not the same S25 Ultra, but a smaller sensor with smaller pixels.

If we look at the S25 Plus, it contains everything at a better price. Additional phone camera, larger battery, more random access memory, better resolution screen (513 points per inch), faster charging, and more. What he lacks is slim noise – it’s 0.9 mm thick than Galaxy S25 edge. This is less than a millimeter!

We are only looking within the Samsung ecosystem. If we open the ground to the competition, S25 edge convicted. You can choose from many models at $ 1099, including some facial phones, which may be more practical than the delicate candy bar.

Do we really need another S25 model sitting between the S25 Plus and Ultra and more costs than before, but it is less in any way other than fish? I don’t think so, but there is a survey at the end of this article, so we can see what Fox Popoli is.

Galaxy S25 Edge versus Pixel 9A and iPhone 16E

according to Forbes, Samsung sets up a launch Galaxy S25 edge To fall somewhere about iPhone 16E and Pixel 9A versions. Now, 16e has already been launched, and Pixel 9A It is expected in about two weeks.

the iPhone 16e It starts from $ 599, and Pixel 9A It is expected to keep $ 499 for the previous generation, so the mind baffles how S25 edge It can compete with these two.

the iPhone 16e It provides essence IPhone 16 experience, missing camera and Magsafe, while Pixel 9A It also brings the latest set of tensioners ’slices and brilliance Galaxy S25 edge.

Grant, both phones are thicker than S25 edgeBut millimeters or two in the thickness of this is important? And if you try to say that S25 edgeThe point of sale is something other than the thickness angle (yes, yes, it is lightweight too), I can’t see what it is.

Smartphone innovation crisis

All this asks the question: Why Galaxy S25 edge Even there? In my opinion, large smartphone manufacturers have begun to experience innovation paralysis. The Galaxy S series has been criticized for additional promotions and a lack of innovation during the past few generations, and the same applies to modern iPhone devices.

For me Galaxy S25 edgethe iPhone 16eThe 17 air is desperate attempts to present something different and break the main main assortment.

I think the market will organize itself at some point, and all of this will depend on the extent of success S25 edge It will be. This leads us to survey. Do you buy? Galaxy S25 edge At $ 1099? Voting in our poll and exchange of your ideas about the next “thinness wars” in the comments section below.
