Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is impressively thin, but what do you give up for that look? A new drop test sees how durability is impacted.

The main weakness of this sleek handset is exactly what I expected: battery life. The S25 Edge has a lesser battery capacity than even the regular, smaller Galaxy S25. Samsung has tried to compensate with background optimisations that make the device run more efficiently.

The physical form factor is the big (and possibly only) draw of the Galaxy S25 Edge. It measures in at just 5.8mm of thickness, a substantial reduction from the 7.2mm of thickness found in the base S25. As someone who uses an iPhone 16 (which is 7.8mm thick) on a daily basis, the difference is very noticeable.
