Galaxy S25 Edge: 5.8 mm thin and still full of the latest technology

After being told "just look, don't touch", the time has come to get your hands on Samsung's extremely thin Galaxy S25 Edge.

After several appearances where the Galaxy S25 Edge could only be viewed from a distance, Samsung has unveiled its extremely thin Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone. I was able to get a first impression of the device, which is just 5.8 millimetres thick.

The thinnest smartphone der Welt from Samsung

How the lightweight feels

The Galaxy S25 Edge feels light at first. After a short time, however, its 163 grams are nothing unusual - even though this makes it Samsung's lightest smartphone to date. It is discreet, but not too slim. I can hold it securely and am not worried about it being too flimsy. However, I don't carry my smartphone in my back pocket either. Subtle bending tests give me confidence.

The S25 Edge is 2.4 millimetres and therefore almost 30 per cent thinner than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I notice that in my hand. After trying it out briefly, it makes no difference when using the smartphone - if I ignore other features. Instead, it is primarily a lifestyle decision to choose the design of the S25 Edge.

Samsung has even included a small cooling chamber in the Galaxy S25 Edge. This is intended to ensure that the built-in processor does not have to throttle its performance.

The S25 Edge runs Android 15 out of the box. Samsung provides the operating system with its One UI 7.0 user interface and promises to provide the smartphone with software and security updates for seven years. Galaxy AI with all the AI functions as in the other S25 models is also on board.

Price and availability

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 Edge are now open.

In Switzerland, we also have a promotion where the larger storage variant with 512 gigabytes is available for the recommended retail price of the 256 gigabyte model when pre-ordering.

Samsung also offers matching accessories for the Galaxy S25 Edge. Of course, the smartphone is thicker with a case. However, its cases are said to be 12 per cent thinner than those of the Galaxy S25 Plus.

As a primary school pupil, I used to sit in a friend's living room with many of my classmates to play the Super NES. Now I get my hands on the latest technology and test it for you. In recent years at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, now at Digitec and Galaxus.
