The Galaxy S25 Edge sets a new benchmark for ultra-thin phones

HERE'S SOMETHING TO be said about going against convention and trying to see if an idea works.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge did just that, going past the concept phones that are thin solely for bragging rights, to launch a proper, large-screened, ultrathin flagship you can buy right now. Of course, the ₹1,09,999 question remains—what else did we have to lose in the pursuit of slimness?

Let's put the S25 Edge's 5.8mm thinness and 163g weight in perspective, shall we? It weighs about the same with its 6.7-inch screen as the base S25 does with its 6.2-inch screen, while sporting 20 percent thinner dimensions. It's a feat of engineering, and it body shames all of its flagship peers. Not only does it look impressive, but it also feels impressive—a feeling that stays with you each time you pick it up and wonder just how Samsung managed to make something with such a large display this thin and light. The double take each time someone takes it from you, the ease with which it disappears into the pocket… Samsung has latched onto something special here, and the S25 Edge has a way of making the other phone in your pocket feel dated.
