With the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, consumers can expect a premium experience packed into a more manageable form factor. Notably, the device is claimed to not compromise on connectivity despite a more compact design. While it may see a reduction in battery capacity to support its slimmer profile, the Snapdragon 8 Elite's power efficiency is likely to ensure all-day performance.
If the Galaxy S25 launch felt underwhelming, the Galaxy S25 Edge might provide the innovative features you’ve been yearning for. Alternatively, it could be wise to wait and see how Apple responds with its upcoming iPhone 17 Air.
