Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge four months after teasing it at the at the January 22nd Unpacked event. Its a long-rumored slim phone which has finally launched after round of leaks.
For those unaware, the device used to be known online as the “Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.” Although the official name doesn’t include the word “Slim,” the Galaxy S25 Edge is actually very thin or slim, whatever you’d like to call it.
Exactly How Slim is the Galaxy S25 Edge?
The Galaxy S25 Edge measures only 5.8mm in thickness. For comparison, the vanilla Galaxy S25 comes with a thickness of 7.2mm. So, the Galaxy S25 Edge is really thin, in fact, it is the thinnest smartphone now.
The device is big, similar to the Galaxy S25+, and weighs 163g, which is similar to the vanilla Galaxy S25. However, since it’s slim, it sacrifices on the battery, resulting in a lighter weight than the Galaxy S25+.
This is How Thin the Galaxy S25 Edge (Slim) Looks in Real Life
When the Galaxy S25 Edge was displayed at the Unpacked event, users were prohibited from touching it. Now that the device has officially been launched, it’s reaching reviewers and we now have a closer look at the Galaxy S25 Edge in real life.
Here’s a real-life comparison of the thickness of the Galaxy S25 Edge with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, courtesy of MKBHD.
As you can see, the Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be almost half the thickness of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. While it is impressive, there is currently no significant craze for slim phones.
Is Galaxy S25 Edge the slimmest smartphone?
Yes, the Galaxy S25 is currently the slimmest smartphone with a thickness of 5.8mm. At MWC 2025, Tecno showcased a slim smartphone with a thickness of 5.7mm, but it hasn’t been announced yet.
Talking about the full dimension, the Galaxy S25 Edge measures 75.6 X 158.2 X 5.8mm ans weighs 163g.
The Galaxy S25 series looks much thicker when compared with the Galaxy S25 Edge side-by-side. In terms of thickness, the Galaxy S25, S25+, and the S25 Ultra measure 7.2mm, 7.3mm, and 8.2mm, respectively.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 from last year also doesn’t come close to the Galaxy S25 Edge in terms of thinness, as it measures 6.9mm when unfolded.
It could alter the design a bit more to make it even more thinner, who knows? All we can do is wait for the official launch, that’s when we will know exactly how thin/slim is the Galaxy S25 Edge.
