Is the Galaxy S25 Edge Slimmer Than a Slice of Thin-Crust Pizza?
I've spent the last two weeks writing about how thin Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is, but I figured I'd really show you, by comparing it to a few everyday items. After all, I'm sure you've been desperately wanting to know how the phone measures up to a slice of thin-crust pizza -- right?
The Galaxy S25 Edge is 5.8mm thick and has a generous 6.7-inch display, just like the S25 Plus. But unlike the Plus, which weighs 190 grams, the Edge weighs just 163 grams, making it feel featherlight in my hand. The price, however, is anything but light: The S25 Edge goes on sale May 30 for $1,100. (You can check out my in-depth review here.)
For now, though, let's focus on just how skinny the S25 Edge is, through some visual examples. Starting with pizza, of course.
Before the New Yorkers come for me, I'll fully acknowledge that San Francisco thin-crust has nothing on a New York slice, but you work with what you've got. I measured the S25 Edge against a slice of cheese pizza, and I was impressed by just how similar in thickness they are to each other. (Thankfully, the S25 Edge is a lot less flexible, due to its titanium frame.)
They're just about the same. Well, in one respect anyway.

I also compared the phone to a stack of pennies. Without accounting for the camera bump, the S25 Edge is about four pennies thick.
The S25 Edge measures up to about the fourth penny in this stack.

With the camera bump, you'll need to add a few more pennies. Thankfully, the S25 Edge's two rear cameras aren't too obtrusive, but they nevertheless add a little bulk. With the camera module, the S25 Edge is about seven pennies thick.
Penny (or seven) for your thoughts?

When I saw the Tecno Spark Slim phone concept at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March, I marveled at how the 5.75mm-thick device was slimmer than a pencil. So, I had to see how the S25 Edge compares to a pencil too -- and it turns out it's also thinner.
Penciling in this obligatory comparison.

I had to toss in one more food comparison, so here's how the S25 Edge compares to a thin Tate's chocolate chip cookie (crispy cookies are not my cup of tea, but I bought these in the name of science). It does in fact appear slimmer than one of those abominably thin cookies.
Think of the chocolate chips as camera bumps.

If you'd rather see the S25 Edge compared to another superskinny phone, here's how it compares to the Oppo Find N5 foldable, which measures 4.21mm thick when open.
Two skinny legends.

And here's the S25 Edge next to the 7.3mm-thick S25 Plus and 7.2mm-thick baseline S25.

Just for good measure (pun intended), I'll leave you with an image of the S25 Edge next to the S25 Plus, to really show the difference between the two phones.

We'll see who else hops on the thin phone bandwagon and competes in the next episode of Are You Thinner Than a Pizza Slice. (Apple, the ball's in your court.)

I Recommend This Affordable 3D Printer for All Beginners, and Now It's $50 Cheaper
For almost 10 years now I've been testing and using a variety of 3D printers. I recently had the chance to try out the latest model from Bambu Lab, the H2D, and wrote about that model here. The company has made quite a few quality 3D printers, and one of its devices has become a firm favorite in my household: the A1 Mini Combo. The A1 Mini Combo is on the smaller side but reliably produces excellent print quality. With a number of printers to choose from, it's the one we break out whenever we need a small something printed quickly. If you're already immersed in the 3D printing world, you may find the Mini too small for you, but if you're new to 3D printing or you know someone who's been thinking about getting into the hobby, this is one you'll definitely want to consider. That's especially true now that Bambu Lab is offering it at a $50 discount. The A1 Mini on its own is marked down to $249, a price that makes it incredibly compelling for anyone who's curious about getting started with 3D printing. I've been using the Mini since it first came out in 2023, and it's such a simple machine to use. It's the one I fire up when I want something quickly and easily. The bed is small, just 180 by 180 millimeters, so you can't print giant things like helmets or masks, but you can make smaller pieces like sculptures or detailed miniatures for your Dungeons & Dragons game. It prints speedily, too, with a max print speed of 500mm/s, meaning you can print little jobs nice and fast. It also comes with a four-color system called the AMS lite that will feed four different materials into the printer so you can make full-color models like what's in the image below. A1 Mini Combo specifications Build volume 180x180x180 Hot end Swappable Extruder type Direct Drive AMS (color system) Nozzle diameter 0.4mm Nozzle max temperature 300C Build plate max temperature 80C Official max speed 500mm/s Supported material PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA Auto bed leveling Yes Filament run out sensor Yes Connectivity Wi-Fi, app enabled Time-lapse camera Yes Slicer Bambu slicer Read more: A1 Mini Combo review My colleague recently asked me what 3D printer she should get for her 13-year-old son, and this is the one I suggested. It will fit on a normal desk, even with the AMS color system. It's pretty quiet, and, as long as you have a bucket to catch the waste, clean to have in your home. If you are using it inside, I would recommend using safe materials like PLA or PETG, especially in a bedroom. Ideally, you would want it to be in a spare room or garage if possible. Even better, if you are giving it as a gift, you should opt for the bundle, which includes four rolls of filament and is currently discounted to $399. That's everything you need to get started in the 3D printing all in one package -- a fantastic deal. This cute little pumpkin is practically perfect and printed all in one piece. James Bricknell/CNET There are many options for your first 3D printer, and I've seen many people on Threads and Reddit recommend the A1 Mini. They agree that the A1 Mini is a great starting place, though you may need something bigger as you advance in the craft. Why this deal matters With graduation gifting season in full swing and Father's Day fast approaching, and 3D printers being a big-ticket item, any savings you can grab are important. The A1 Mini Combo is also excellently priced to be a gift for someone you know who wants to jump into the world of 3D printing. At $399, it comes with four rolls of material. Having the material and the color system as a package makes it a perfect present for a loved one because they can start tinkering with their new machine right away. What other expenses come from owning a 3D printer? After the initial layout, you'll need to buy a few 3D printing accessories and some materials to get the most out of your 3D printer. If the printer doesn't come with a roll of filament, I would suggest grabbing some from Overture. Its PLA is excellent and comes in plenty of fun colors. Start with PLA, as it is the easiest and cheapest material. The accessories are all optional, as your 3D printer will come with every tool you need, as well as fun projects to print some of those tools. Eventually, it would help if you replaced your nozzle, but Bambu makes that incredibly simple and cost-effective. You won't need a new one for a long time, so don't worry.
