I got a first look at new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – it's so light & there's already a free upgrade on offer saving £100
EDGY! The Sun's Assistant Tech Editor gets an early hands-on with the premium slimmer handset SAMSUNG is vying to solve another problem with today's smartphones - size. While bigger screens and batteries are welcome, it comes at the hefty cost of thickness and weight in your pocket. 2 2 The Galaxy S25 Edge was hardly a secret with teases and numerous rumours about it for sometime now. But I was among the first to get fully hands on with the handset for a first look preview. The first thing I instantly noticed and loved was just how light it is for a smartphone of this standard. Coming in at 163g, it's lighter than any iPhone 16 model around. And it's 5.8mm thin too, making it the thinnest Galaxy ever. What surprised me is the slimmed down form and lighter weight don't appear to have compromised much. Of course, I'll be doing a full review to assess battery, camera performance and everything else soon. The battery is physically smaller so you might expect it not to last quite as long. Samsung claims it can get 24 hours of video playback time out of it. And there are fewer cameras on the back too, missing a telephoto lens to get closer to subjects your photographing. Samsung insider reveals top tricks every user needs to know about to save battery and storage But in this first instance, the Galaxy S25 Edge's display looks stunning and the software is the same great One UI 7 version of Android. It feels sturdy too, with a premium titanium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for enhanced crack resistance. And the display measures in at 6.7-inch wide diagonally. There are three colours on offer: Titanium Silver Titanium Jetblack Titanium Icyblue The Galaxy S25 Edge is available to pre-order from today ahead of release on May 30. Prices start from £1099 with 256 GB of storage, or there's 512GB for £1199. However, those who pre-order from selected retailers can double their storage for the same price. SAMSUNG TECH TIP By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun Sharing Wi-Fi with friends is a hassle because the passwords are often so long and complex. With the different lower case and upper case letters, alongside numbers and weird characters you've never used, you're bound to make a mistake. On Samsung smartphones you can avoid all those issues by generating a QR code. This means your friends and family can simply scan the QR code with their phone's camera and it will instantly connect them to the Wi-Fi network. All you need to do is go to the Wi-Fi settings, select the Wi-Fi network you want to share, then look for the QR code button at the bottom.
