Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge 512GB Smartphone (Unlocked), Titanium Jet Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From first glance, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge strikes with one defining feature: extreme thinness. At just 5.8 mm, it's Samsung's sleekest flagship yet — almost delicate in its featherweight build, yet still packing many of the flagship trimmings. But like any design that chases slimness, there are trade-offs. This review walks through what you'll love, what you might tolerate, and whether it's worth your money. Design & Display The Edge is a marvel in design engineering. It weighs only 163 g, barely more than the base S25, yet houses a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Build quality is premium: a titanium frame, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 up front, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. IP68 for dust and water resistance caps it off. Colours are tasteful: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Icyblue. Options are fewer than some Samsung models, but each is elegant. Cameras The main camera is a 200MP wide lens (f/1.7) paired with a 12MP ultra-wide. That massive sensor promises fantastic detail and flexibility, especially when cropping or using Galaxy AI-powered enhancements. Selfies and video calls benefit from the 12MP front camera, which also integrates Galaxy AI editing tools like Generative Edit, AI Object Eraser, and smart portrait refinements. Video recording supports up to 8K, further enhanced by AI-based stabilization and scene optimization. A downside: there's no dedicated telephoto lens. Zooming relies on cropping, where AI-assiste

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from an S22 Ultra to the S25 Edge - primarily because of size and weight; I loved my S22 but it was just too big and over time hard to lug around. I did not want to compromise on speed or performance - so the S25 Edge was perfect for my needs. I've been thrilled is it - even with a protective case, it is significantly slimmer and easier to hold/use/carry. I do not miss the stylus. I somewhat miss the telephoto lens, especially since the regular S24 (for example) has 3 cameras and this has only 2. However, it is very hard to hold the phone perfectly still for a long shot unless you have a tripod - so keep that in mind. I've heard about the battery life but honestly haven't had issues because I naturally charge it a few times during the day and even at 80% (with battery protection) it lasts an entire day of normal use. I've tried out Galaxy AI for a bit, am not a heavy user by any means. It does help when it integrates actions across the Smarthings ecosystem. Overall - I'm loving the form factor and the performance. It's so much easier to hold and use. The build feels premium. Highly recommended!
