The edges of the phone are so thin that it could affect the way you maintain it for a long time, because there is simply not much to grasp your fingers. Time will tell us. But once the wonder of thinness fades, you will start to question the life of the battery. The S25 edge has a battery capacity of 3,900 mAh, 100 mAh less than what is in the smallest Galaxy S25. It is a ridiculously small capacity compared to similar -size phones these days.
However, Samsung says that it has done a lot of work to optimize the power of the screen, and with the effectiveness of the Elite Snapdragon 8 to 3 nanometers chipset inside, you should get the battery life “all day”. This execution time would have survived the Galaxy S24 but did not succeed in the S25 in the Samsung tests. With average use, you can probably go out for a day, but Power users may have to enter a battery. Nothing like the shielding of a phone down, then forcing you to transport a mobile charger.
It should be noted that Samsung does not use silicon-carbon batteries technology, which offers more dense batteries in a thinner design found in new devices like the OnePlus 13.

This is the big question: do you want a thin phone? Or a slightly thicker phone with a more robust battery that could last two days? I bet most people will say the latter. Samsung says his research revealed that people who bought his ultra phones found the phone too large and too heavy, but did not want to reduce the size of the Galaxy S25 + or S25, because they did not want to lose certain features. Opt for The Edge means that they will have a telephone rich in functionalities, but with the worst battery life in the whole Galaxy S25 range. It’s a bit perplexed. The edge does not even support the fast charging speeds of the Ultra S25, typing at 25 watts wired and 15 wireless watts.
