The edges of the phone are so thin that it can affect how you catch it for a long period, because there is not much to grab your fingers. Only time will tell. But once the surprise of thinness goes away, you will start thinking about battery life. The S25 Edge has a 3,900-mAh battery capacity, which is 100 mAh less in small Galaxy S25. These days it is a small capacity than similar size phones.
Nevertheless, Samsung says that this is a lot of work to adapt to the power of performance, and with the efficiency of the 3-nenometer Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset, you should achieve “All-De” battery life. This run time considered the Galaxy S24, but was reduced by S25 in Samsung’s tests. With average usage, you may probably get out a day, but power users may have to trick with battery packs. A phone is not anything like slimming below, then you are forced to move around a portable charger.
It is worth noting that the Samsung silicon-carbon is not using battery technology, which offers dense battery in a thin design found in new devices such as OnePlus 13.

This is a big question: Do you want a thin phone? Or a little thick phone with a beefier battery that can last for two days? I am sure most people would call the latter. Samsung says that its research found that people who bought its ultra phone find the phone very big and heavy, but did not want to reduce the Galaxy S25+ or S25, as they did not want to lose on some facilities. The option for the edge means that they will have a feature-rich phone, but with the worst battery life in the entire Galaxy S25 lineup. It is a bit surprising. Edge also does not support the fast charging speed of S25 Ultra, tapping on 25 watted wired and 15 wireless.
