Samsung has finally introduced its much-hyped smartphone of the year 2025 — the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The company has been teasing the smartphone for quite a few months, and it even showcased it during the MWC 2025 event. The new slim smartphone is finally here and is the slimmest S-series smartphone from the South Korean brand. With a sleek design, a titanium frame, a 200-megapixel camera, and more, the Galaxy S25 Edge sure makes a statement.
The handset is also priced accordingly. The handset comes with a price tag of Rs. 1,09,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB option, while the 512GB option can be purchased for Rs. 1,21,999. Interestingly, as part of pre-booking offers, customers who pre-book the device can get the 512GB option at the price of the 256GB model. That said, we finally got our hands on the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the smartphone that can finally solve the dilemma of S-series users who often say that the phones are a bit bulky to fit in jeans or small hands. The company introduced this precisely to show its design innovation with a simple formula: make it slimmer, add better cameras, and wrap it up in Titanium.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge comes with a titanium frame and offers a sturdy design.
It is indeed the slimmest in the S-series, and you will feel it the moment you hold it in your hand. The polished titanium frame and a 5.8mm thickness make it comfortable to hold, even for smaller hands. The phone has two colour options: Titanium Silver and Titanium Jetblack. I got the former for the review, and it sure reminds me of the OG Galaxy Edge series that offered much better design aesthetics compared to the regular S-series phones. The handset is also lightweight, with 163 grams, lighter than the Galaxy S25 Plus.
The front panel offers an almost bezel-less display with a notch at the top centre. The right side features volume controls and a power on/off button. The volume controls do feel a bit out of reach for the thumb when using the phone one-handed.

The base panel offers a SIM slot, a USB Type-C port, and a speaker grille, while the top microphone. You also get an IP68 rating, which makes it dust and water-resistant.
