In recent weeks, I have delved into the sleek design of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a smartphone that is turning heads with its ultra-thin profile. To illustrate just how thin this device is, I decided to compare it with several everyday items, showcasing its impressive dimensions in a fun and relatable way.
The Galaxy S25 Edge measures a mere 5.8mm thick and boasts a stunning 6.7-inch display, similar to its sibling, the S25 Plus. However, what sets the Edge apart is its lightweight design; it weighs only 163 grams, making it feel almost featherlight in the hand. Despite its premium features, the Galaxy S25 Edge comes with a hefty price tag of $1,100, with sales beginning on May 30. For those interested in a deeper dive, you can check out my detailed review here.
To give you a clearer picture of just how slim the Galaxy S25 Edge is, I began my comparisons with a slice of thin-crust pizza. While I recognize that San Francisco's thin-crust varieties may not rival the legendary New York slice, they serve the purpose well. When measured against a slice of cheese pizza, I was surprised to find that the thickness of the S25 Edge is remarkably similar. Fortunately, the device’s titanium frame ensures it remains sturdy and less flexible than a pizza slice.
Next, I compared the Galaxy S25 Edge to a stack of pennies. Without considering the camera bump, the phone's thickness is roughly equivalent to four pennies stacked together. When including the camera bump, which adds a touch of bulk, the S25 Edge measures about seven pennies thick. Thankfully, the two rear cameras are not overly obtrusive, maintaining the overall sleek aesthetic of the device.
During my exploration, I remembered a recent encounter with the Tecno Spark Slim phone concept at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This device, measuring only 5.75mm, is slimmer than a pencil. To my delight, I found that the Galaxy S25 Edge is indeed thinner than a standard pencil as well. To add a bit of fun, I also compared the phone to a thin Tate's chocolate chip cookie. Surprisingly, the S25 Edge appears slimmer than these notoriously thin cookies, providing yet another relatable comparison.
If you're curious about how the S25 Edge stacks up against other superskinny smartphones, I compared it with the Oppo Find N5 foldable, which measures 4.21mm thick when open. Additionally, I placed the S25 Edge next to its thicker counterparts: the 7.3mm-thick S25 Plus and the 7.2mm-thick baseline S25. These side-by-side comparisons highlight just how remarkable the slim design of the Galaxy S25 Edge truly is.
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge combines cutting-edge technology with a sleek design, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market today. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or simply in the market for a new phone, its slim profile and lightweight feel are sure to impress.
