Going purely by the specs, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge definitely sounds intriguing. Our primary concern right here is the battery life, as regardless of Samsung’s assurances, it’s arduous to consider it would really ship all-day life with such a small capability.
Even if it does, it’s unlikely to be aggressive with different telephones on this entrance. But it’s not unimaginable that by means of some software program wizardry Samsung has delivered genuinely good endurance – we’ll discover out as soon as we’ve examined the telephone ourselves.
Beyond that, the dearth of a telephoto digital camera is a slight disappointment, however anticipated, and a minimum of the 200MP primary sensor sounds promising.
Elsewhere the Galaxy S25 Edge sounds each bit nearly as good as the remainder of the S25 sequence, only a lot thinner. Whether that slimness will translate into gross sales stays to be seen.
