Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge deal still live: Free 512GB upgrade and $50 gift card
Ryan Haines / Android Authority If you want a super-thin smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is all the rage right now. It was just released last week, so don't expect any serious discounts, but Sammy is finding ways to sweeten the deal for early buyers. Right now, you can get a free storage upgrade and a $50 gift card when you buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge with 512GB and a free $50 gift card for just $1,099.99 ($170 off) This offer is available from Amazon. This means you would get an Amazon gift card. The offer applies to all color versions available: Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (Free upgrade to 512GB + $50 gift card) Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (Free upgrade to 512GB + $50 gift card) Ultra-thin. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the thinnest Galaxy S device ever but still packs a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a 200MP main camera. See price at Amazon Save $170.00 Limited Time Deal! This is a pretty nice deal considering how recently the phone was released. There are no actual discounts on the device yet, but a free storage upgrade and a $50 gift card are great if you can use the extra storage space or if you were already thinking of getting something else from Amazon. Not to mention, it's a pretty awesome phone! The thinness is obviously the device's main lure. It's a mere 5.8mm thick! Of course, there is more to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge than its thin profile. We often compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus. These phones are very similar, with the design being the main differentiator. That said, there are some nice benefits to getting the Galaxy S25 Edge. This one has a titanium frame, arguably making it better built. It also gets a Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 front and a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back. Of course, it keeps the IP68 rating. All things considered, this makes the build quality more similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra! Ryan Haines / Android Authority Performance will be excellent, as well, considering it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM. Again, that's the same as the Galaxy S25 Plus, so it can handle any app or task you throw at it, really. Even the display is very similar, featuring a 6.7-inch screen. It's an LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a QHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Of course, making such a thin phone has its downsides. The sacrifices aren't horrible, but they are definitely something to keep in mind. Our main concern is that the battery is smaller at 3,900mAh. Camera versatility suffers a bit, too, as you only get two shooters. The main cam is still the 200MP one you get with the Ultra mode, though! All that said, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is still an awesome phone, and its slim design makes it a really nice proposition for those who prefer something that's easier to carry and handle. Not to mention, it is still a very powerful device. Catch this deal while you can! These launch deals don't usually last long.

If you don't know about these video tools, you're already behind
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, AI is changing everything. And now, it's coming for video in a huge way. We're not just talking about deepfakes or filters anymore. This is next-level, movie-magic stuff. Enter to win $500 for you and $500 for your favorite person or charity in our Pay It Forward Sweepstakes. Hurry, ends soon! Let's talk about the wild part first. You don't need any editing software. You don't need a green screen. Heck, you don't even need a camera. Your keyboard is now the director, the producer, the editor, and your creative partner. All you have to do is type what you want to see, and boom, AI turns your words into high-def, studio-quality video clips. It's like having a Hollywood studio tucked inside your laptop. Two of the biggest names in this space right now are Sora from OpenAI and Veo from Google. And yes, you can actually try them both right now. I've tested them side by side, and you can watch my results at the end to see which one came out on top. Sora is built right into ChatGPT and is shockingly good. Type something simple like, "a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball," and within seconds, Sora delivers a smooth, visually rich video clip. No stock footage. No need to mess with editing timelines or export settings. Just write what you want to see. Here's the breakdown: And here's a hot tip: Microsoft just announced that Sora is being integrated into their new Bing Video Creator, so you'll start seeing it pop up in more places soon. Now over to Google's Veo, and wow, this one is aiming for cinematic quality. Veo gives you up to 60-second videos in 1080p, and the realism is something else. You can include camera moves, lighting shifts, and smooth transitions, just by typing a sentence. For example: "A cat runs across a Paris rooftop at sunset." And it delivers exactly that, complete with lens flares and realistic shadows. To get your hands on Veo, you'll need to sign up for Google's Gemini plans: I wanted to see how each platform handled the same prompt, so I asked both to generate a video based on: "Show me a golden retriever puppy playing on the beach with a tennis ball." Now you can watch the videos side-by-side. My AI puppy Bella stars in both (Veo's on the left, Sora's on the right). My thoughts? Sora nailed the adorable close-up details, Bella's floppy ears, the texture of the fur, the light hitting the waves. But it fumbled a bit when it came to physics. The ball's bounce didn't feel quite right. On the other hand, Veo did a better job with the action. The puppy's movements were more lifelike but it wasn't as sharp on the visual details. We are entering a new age of video creation where your ideas are enough. No gear, no crew, no edits. Just imagination and a little typing. Whether you're a marketer, content creator, educator, or just someone who likes to experiment, this is the future of storytelling. Trust me, it's just getting started.
