Galaxy S25 Edge is impressively thin and now we know how Samsung pulled it off
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Review: Slim body, slim battery According to Samsung, it took a ton of trial and error to find the right balance. Engineers went through countless prototypes, testing out different component layouts and new structural ideas to push the boundaries of what a thin phone can be. Thin but tough Samsung says it had to completely rethink the phone's internal design from the ground up. | Image credit – Samsung Despite being the slimmest Galaxy S phone ever, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't feel like a compromise. It sticks to Samsung's usual premium design vibe, weighing just 163g and rocking a 5.8mm profile. To make it this thin, Samsung had to rethink the internals from scratch. The phone uses a brand-new mounting system that lets components be arranged with insane precision – we are talking down to 0.1mm. And while it is slim, it is also built to last. Samsung used the same titanium frame seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, plus a new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front that's been reinforced with the company's own processing techniques. So yeah, it's got the durability to match its sleek looks. The Galaxy S25 Edge uses a custom thermal setup. | Image credit – Samsung Even though the Galaxy S25 Edge is super thin, it is still packing serious power – the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip found in the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. But keeping things cool in such a slim chassis meant Samsung had to get creative. It developed a custom thermal setup with a vapor chamber that is 10% bigger than the one in the Galaxy S25+. And for the first time ever in a Galaxy phone , the Edge has a 'hole structure' built into the front metal frame. This lets heat move more directly from the processor to the vapor chamber, improving cooling without adding bulk. Samsung also added a specially tuned thermal interface material to absorb and spread heat from nearby components so the phone stays cool and snappy under pressure. Big camera power, small frame Samsung made the module over 10% thinner. | Image credit – Samsung When it comes to cameras, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't mess around. It is rocking a dual-camera system with wide and ultra-wide lenses and the main sensor is a massive 200 MP – the same level as the Galaxy S25 Ultra . That means top-tier photos with crisp detail, rich color and great low-light performance. To keep the camera from sticking out too much, Samsung reworked the autofocus and optical image stabilization setup to make the module over 10% thinner. Then, it used a clever two-layer housing to let the camera sit flush with the frame. Bottom line: pro-level camera quality without messing up the slim design. Ready for the iPhone 17 Air fight? So yeah, Samsung pulled off a slim design without cutting corners in the areas that really matter (okay, battery size might be an exception). But thanks to all the smart engineering, the Galaxy S25 Edge could actually have the upper hand when it comes to its biggest upcoming rival – the iPhone 17 Air . We don't have the full picture on Apple's super slim iPhone just yet, but leaks hint it'll only have a single rear camera. And if you care about photography, that already puts the Galaxy S25 Edge in a stronger spot. Will the iPhone 17 Air beat the Galaxy S25 Edge? With its dual-camera setup and 200 MP main sensor, it is clearly going for more. Still, Apple being Apple, there is a good chance it is cooking up some clever tricks of its own for this ultra-thin device – so we'll have to wait and see what surprises it brings to the table.

Last Chance Memorial Day Deal: This Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Offer Gets You Double Storage and a $50 Gift Card
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was introduced to the world on May 13, with pre-orders made available immediately. It officially goes on sale on May 30, and if you have been wanting to get your hands on it, today is the day. This lingering Memorial Day deal gets you a Galaxy S25 Edge with a free double-storage upgrade and a $50 Amazon gift card thrown in for good measure. The result is an incredible Samsung Galaxy S25 deal that saves you a total of $170. This deal is available across three different colors, including icyblue, silver and black, so make sure to pick the one you like best before ordering. You'll get the 512GB model rather than the entry-level 256GB model with that gift card included, all for $1,100. Just make sure to get your orders in as soon as possible. The holiday weekend finally came to an end yesterday, and we don't expect this deal to last more than a day. The first thing you'll notice about the Galaxy S25 Edge is its thickness. Or rather, its thinness. It comes in at just 5.8mm thick at its edge which is less than the 7.2mm Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Plus at 7.3mm. Despite the design change compared to the rest of the lineup, this model maintains the same IP68 dust and water resistance using a Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 display paired with a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 rear panel. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Up front, you'll find a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate while the familiar 200-megapixel main camera is joined by a 12-megapixel ultrawide shooter. You'll also find a 12-megapixel selfie camera hiding towards the top of the display. Other features of note include an under-display fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication, 12GB of RAM, and the fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Why this deal matters Super-thin phones are set to be a real trend for 2025, with Apple expected to launch the iPhone 17 Air later this year. But with this extended Memorial Day deal, you can get in on the act right now, all while saving some cash. We highly recommend acting fast, though, since the deal is likely going to expire sooner than you might expect.

Do These 3 Checks Before Buying Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) For Its Upcoming Dividend
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. The ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date, which is the cut-off date for shareholders to be present on the company's books to be eligible for a dividend payment. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade takes at least one business day to settle. Accordingly, Corning investors that purchase the stock on or after the 30th of May will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 27th of June. The company's upcoming dividend is US$0.28 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of US$1.12 per share to shareholders. Looking at the last 12 months of distributions, Corning has a trailing yield of approximately 2.3% on its current stock price of US$48.36. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. Last year, Corning paid out 211% of its profit to shareholders in the form of dividends. This is not sustainable behaviour and requires a closer look on behalf of the purchaser. Yet cash flows are even more important than profits for assessing a dividend, so we need to see if the company generated enough cash to pay its distribution. The company paid out 92% of its free cash flow over the last year, which we think is outside the ideal range for most businesses. Cash flows are usually much more volatile than earnings, so this could be a temporary effect - but we'd generally want to look more closely here. Cash is slightly more important than profit from a dividend perspective, but given Corning's payouts were not well covered by either earnings or cash flow, we would be concerned about the sustainability of this dividend. See our latest analysis for Corning Click here to see the company's payout ratio, plus analyst estimates of its future dividends. Companies with falling earnings are riskier for dividend shareholders. If business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. Readers will understand then, why we're concerned to see Corning's earnings per share have dropped 14% a year over the past five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls. The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Since the start of our data, 10 years ago, Corning has lifted its dividend by approximately 11% a year on average. That's intriguing, but the combination of growing dividends despite declining earnings can typically only be achieved by paying out a larger percentage of profits. Corning is already paying out 211% of its profits, and with shrinking earnings we think it's unlikely that this dividend will grow quickly in the future. Should investors buy Corning for the upcoming dividend? Not only are earnings per share declining, but Corning is paying out an uncomfortably high percentage of both its earnings and cashflow to shareholders as dividends. This is a clearly suboptimal combination that usually suggests the dividend is at risk of being cut. If not now, then perhaps in the future. With the way things are shaping up from a dividend perspective, we'd be inclined to steer clear of Corning. So if you're still interested in Corning despite it's poor dividend qualities, you should be well informed on some of the risks facing this stock. Case in point: We've spotted 5 warning signs for Corning you should be aware of. If you're in the market for strong dividend payers, we recommend checking our selection of top dividend stocks.
