Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge teardown video reveals all
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge came out last month after much anticipation, and today it's been torn down on video by Zack at JerryRigEverything. The phone is easily opened through the back after applying some heat to the adhesive and then using a suction cup. Inside there are a lot of screws as you may expect. The vibration motor is super thin, but interestingly the waterproofing membrane over the speaker is tilted at an angle because of the phone's thinness. Battery removal is very easy, perhaps the easiest system on the market, which debuted on the other S25 devices. Obviously, the battery is where a lot of the thickness was cut in order to achieve the phone's 5.8mm profile. The company also removed "slivers of frame" wherever it could, Zack says, with the SoC directly in contact with the vapor chamber in the S25 Edge vs. the S25 Ultra. The middle layer of the baseboard is much thinner on the Edge too. Finally, the titanium frame actually uses an aluminum inner frame. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

According to In a recent reveal video, Pei confirmed that the Phone (3) will cost around £800 in the UK, or about €850 / $800–$910, depending on the configuration.

The Nothing Phone (3) is expected to arrive in two color options: white and black. We also expect two memory configurations, including 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage, and 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage. That alone brings it in line with other modern flagship specs.

The Phone (3)'s launch feels like it is supposed to be a turning point for Nothing — a company that built its brand by offering thoughtfully designed phones at slightly lower prices. But the leap to the premium tier is not an easy task. Can Nothing maintain its fan base during this transition, just like OnePlus did? At $800, the Phone (3) must not only match but exceed expectations across performance, camera, battery life, and software polish. So far, we've been generally happy with what the company has to offer, but that was in the mid-range and budget segments. It will be interesting to see if that will also be the case with the company's first true flagship.
