Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Specs and featuresBefore you rush to buy the device, here are a few specs and features that can help you decide better. Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge is turning heads, not just for what's inside, but for how impressively light it feels in the hand (read the detailed review here). Weighing just 163 grams and wrapped in a robust titanium frame, the phone is clearly designed for users who want flagship-grade specs without the bulk. The front is shielded by Corning's new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, giving it a tough exterior to match its sleek design.At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the same top-tier chip found in the standard Galaxy S25 models. Samsung has also re-engineered the vapour chamber cooling system, making it thinner but wider to keep temperatures in check during intensive tasks like gaming or 4K video recording. And yes, it's still IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, in case you get caught in the rain.advertisementThe 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display is a standout, and has an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. Photography lovers will be pleased with the 200-megapixel primary sensor, which Samsung claims is 40 per cent brighter in low light compared to the base S25. It's paired with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens that also doubles up as a macro shooter. On the front, there's a 12-megapixel camera for selfies and video chats.Software-wise, the Galaxy S25 Edge ships with Android 15 and Samsung's One UI 7. You get a range of new AI-powered features like Call Transcript, Drawing Assist, and Writing Assist, along with Google's handy Circle to Search. Samsung has committed to an impressive seven generations of Android and security updates.On the connectivity front, the phone includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and 5G. Powering it all is a 3900mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging — or as Samsung calls it, Wireless PowerShare.
