Prime Day Ends Tonight! But you can still grab Samsung's thinnest phone for 29% off
Amazon's Prime Day sale is slowly coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you still can't grab some great deals, including for the Galaxy S25 Edge. Right now, you can grab the 256GB Galaxy S25 Edge for 29% off from Amazon, meaning you'll be paying $784. This is the lowest price we've seen for the Galaxy S25 Edge, available in Titanium IcyBlue, Titanium Black, and Titanium Silver options. If you want a higher memory, then the 512GB model is currently 26% off from Amazon, meaning a final price of $904. The Galaxy S25 Edge sports a 5.8mm profile, which is 31% thinner than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone also features a 6.7-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Not to mention a 200MP main camera with 10x digital zoom and a 12MP front camera with 85-degree FOV alongside all the Galaxy AI features included with the One UI 7 update. The Galaxy S25 Edge stands as the thinnest Samsung phone on the market, with an impressive profile of only 5.8mm. That's around 31% thinner than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but on top of that, our review also praised how light the phone is at only 5.75 ounces. The Galaxy S25 Edge is more than just thin, however, as Samsung has packed some pretty impressive hardware into the phone. The S25 Edge features a 6.7-inch display, the same size as the Galaxy S25 Plus. On top of that, you're also getting a 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP selfie camera. It's a pretty impressive setup, backed up by a 3,900 mAh battery supported by the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. However, Qualcomm's chip does more than improve the battery as it also powers the wealth of Galaxy AI features that were introduced as part of One UI 7. If you want the best experience with features like Circle to Search, Now Brief, Audio eraser and more, then this is the phone for you. This is the cheapest we've seen this phone, so now really is the best time to grab Samsung's latest device. On average, 256GB of storage should be more than enough for the average user, but the 512GB option is also at its lowest price, so it's certainly a viable alternative. We're coming to the end of Amazon's deal period, so make sure you check out the Prime Day Deals live blog to get great discounts on Kindle, TVs, Apple Watch, Lego and more. Plus, don't forget to check out all the best free stuff you can claim this Prime Day, because this stuff won't be free for much longer.

Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is incredibly thin and light — here's how it stacks up to other slender phones
Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a lot of things going for it, from an upgraded camera to AI features that really take advantage of that expansive 8-inch main display. But one thing that Samsung has touted — and that caught the attention of Mark Spoonauer in his Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on for Tom's Guide — is just how thin and light this phone is. There's a good reason to focus on that particular feature. Foldable phones may offer enlarged screens when they're unfolded, but they can also be cumbersome to carry around. By streamlining the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung can make the case that it's delivering a truly portable foldable phone — one that you don't have to squeeze into a pocket like an overstuffed wallet. Specifically, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.2mm at its thinnest point when you open the phone and 8.9mm when you fold it shut. The phone tips the scales at 215 grams, or 7.5 ounces if you sneer at the metric system. That's certainly thin and light, but how thin and light is it compared to other devices? To find out, I decided to compare Samsung's newest foldable to other devices in our best Samsung phone rankings. And then, I checked to see how the Galaxy Z Fold 7's dimensions measure up to the best foldable phones. Between the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung's been on a real thin-is-in kick with its last couple of phone releases. So is the Galaxy S25 Edge's claim as the thin new kid in town already over? Well, no — the Galaxy S25 Edge remains a very thin device. (And at $1,099, it's almost half the cost of the $1,999 Z Fold 7.) But open up the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Samsung's new foldable is noticeably thinner. Phone Dimensions Weight Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.2mm (unfolded) 215 grams Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra 153.5 x 132.6 x 5.6mm (unfolded) 239 grams Galaxy Z Flip 7 166.7 x 75.2 x 6.5mm (unfolded) 189 grams Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm (unfolded) 187 grams Galaxy S25 Edge 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8mm 163 grams Galaxy S25 Ultra 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm 218 grams Galaxy Fold (original) 160.9 x 117.9 x 6.9mm (unfolded) 276 grams The S25 Edge is 5.8mm thin, which is a very slender profile. But that's also 1.6mm thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Not that the Galaxy S25 Edge was Samsung's thinnest phone before the Galaxy Z Fold 7 came along. That honor actually went to the Fold's predecessor, the 5.6mm Galaxy Z Fold 6. But even there, Samsung managed to shed more than 1mm off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. At 8.2mm thin, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is positively chunk next to the opened Galaxy Z Fold 7. And the Fold is also thinner than both new Galaxy Z Flip 7 models, whether you open or close those phones. The Galaxy S25 Edge can lay claim to one superlative among the phones listed here — it's the lightest of the bunch at 163 grams. Of course, given the size of foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 finds itself at a disadvantage as there's simply more device to weigh compared to a more conventional handset. Still, that 215-gram weight is still pretty compact for a book-style foldable. In fact, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 weighs less than the 218-gram Galaxy S25 Ultra. Just for grins, I also included the dimensions for the original Galaxy Fold that came out in 2019 to demonstrate how thin Samsung's foldable has gotten over the last six years. Thar original model weighed in at 276 grams — more than 60 grams heavier than the current version — and it was 6.9mm thick when opened. In essence, Samsung has shrunken the thickness of the Fold model nearly in half over time. All right, so the Galaxy Z Fold 7 sets the pace for Samsung phones when it comes to thinness, and it's impressively light for a foldable device. But how do those claims measure up to other top foldables? For these comparisons, I limited myself to book-style foldables where you open up the phone to reveal a larger screen inside. And while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is certainly well positioned when compared to its main rivals in the U.S., it's got some company in the form of a pair of devices with more limited availability. Phone Size, unfolded Size, folded Weight Galaxy Z Fold 7 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.2mm 158.4 x 72.8 x 8.9mm 215 grams Galaxy Z Fold 6 153.5 x 132.6 x 5.6mm 153.5 x 68.1 x 12.1mm 239 grams OnePlus Open 153.4 x 143.1 x 5.8mm 153.4 x 73.3 x 11.7mm 239-245 grams Pixel 9 Pro Fold 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.1mm 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.5mm 257 grams Oppo Find N5 160.9 x 145.6 x 4.2mm 160.9 x 74.4 x 8.9mm 229 grams Honor Magic V5 156.8 x 145.9 x 4.1-4.2mm 156.8 x 74.3 x 8.8-9mm 217-222 grams Both the OnePlus Open and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 whether the phones are open or closed. In fact, neither the OnePlus nor the Google device break the 10mm mark when folded shut — a closed-up Galaxy Z Fold is 8.9mm thin. Samsung's latest phone is also lighter than those two rivals — significantly lighter in fact, when compared to the 257-gram Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It's the Oppo Find N5 and Honor Magic V5 where the Galaxy Z Fold 7 faces some stiff competition. The three phones offer essentially the same thickness, though the white model of the Honor Magic V5 is apparently fractionally thinner than the rest. That said, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 does weigh less than both the Oppo and Honor devices. At 217 grams, the Honor Magic V5 comes awfully close to the Fold's weight, though. As thin and light as those foldables may be, they're not as easy to get as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Oppo Find N5 is only available in Asia right now, and Oppo has confirmed there are no plans to launch a U.S. version. The Honor Magic V5 is shipping in China, for now, but even a wider release later this year won't include the U.s. Even with a few phones keeping pace with the Galaxy Z Fold 7's design, their lack of wider availability puts the Fold in a unique position. There are many reasons to consider a foldable phone beyond its portability. But if that's been a major concern of yours, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 certainly addresses that issue. And few peers are around to challenge its claim as the thinnest foldability that's easiest to get your hands on.

Get $315 off the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for Prime Day
Big screens are ubiquitous now in the smartphone space, so manufacturers are now returning to another familiar friend to make their handsets stand out: thinness. In May, Samsung launched the the Galaxy S25 Edge and it's on sale for Prime Day now — down to $785, which is $315 less than usual. The Galaxy S25 Edge includes the best of Samsung's Galaxy S25+ in a thinner and sturdier package. The S25 Edge is just 0.23 inches (5..8mm) thick, with a titanium frame, IP68 water and dust resistance and a Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 panel covering its OLED screen. The phone is also fast and performant, with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. Really, the main ways the S25 Edge is a compromise are in the omissions Samsung made to keep it slim and light. For example, the S25 Edge doesn't have a telephoto lens, so zoomed in photographs have to happen entirely digitally. The phone also has a noticeably smaller battery at 3,900 mAh, which in our tests meant the phone lasted for a little over 25 hours on a single charge, shorter than both the base S25 and the S25 Ultra. Samsung also cut corners with wireless charging. The S25 Edge is "Qi2 ready" but doesn't actually include the magnetic coils necessary to take advantage of the charging standard's main features. Instead, if you want to wirelessly charge the S25 Edge at Qi2 speeds, you need to put it in a case, taking away some of its thinness in the process. For $300 off, those compromises could be very easy to set aside, though. In Engadget's review of the Galaxy S25 Edge, the phone made the most sense as a way to make Samsung's mid-tier phones interesting. It costs the same $1,100 as the Samsung Galaxy S25+ and features many of the same components, but looks and feels different to use. At $785, the Galaxy S25 Edge is now the same price as the base S25 was at launch, and an even more compelling purchase.

Samsung Unpacked Live Reveals: New Galaxy Fold 7, Galaxy Flip 7 and Galaxy Watch 8
Samsung redesigned the wide camera assembly to fit into the Galaxy S25 Edge's svelte frame. Samsung/Screenshot by Jeff Carlson The stars of Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event are rumored to be updates to the Z Fold and Z Flip phones. While I appreciate a good bendable screen, I'm just as interested in the cameras that will be on them. Compared to the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra models, the lenses on the current Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 feel dated. For example, both of those phones include a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera; the Z Fold adds a 10-megapixel 2x telephoto. You can still get good photos from them, don't get me wrong. But if you're paying a premium for a phone -- $1,900 for the Z Fold 6 -- I believe you should expect a premium camera experience, too. The traditional argument for limiting the cameras has been space. Physical room is so premium in a foldable phone that many camera assemblies just won't fit. But then I look at the Galaxy S25 Edge, which worked in a slimmed-down 200 megapixel f/1.7 camera with the same specs as the main camera in the S25 Ultra, and did it in a thin 5.8mm frame (though the camera bump protrudes to 10mm). Megapixels aren't the whole story, but having more opens up options such as getting optical-quality telephoto images without invoking digital zoom. And the photos from the S25 Edge are pretty nice. Hopefully, Samsung will boost the ultrawide cameras in each new phone to at least 50 megapixels and maybe even the telephoto, too. Motorola's 2025 Razr shows it can be done. Will Samsung match or even exceed these specs? We'll find out Wednesday.
