A slimmer phone means scaling back on some components, including the battery. The Galaxy S25 Edge has a 3,900 mAh battery, compared to 4,000 mAh on the baseline S25 and 4,900 mAh on the S25 Plus. Samsung says the S25 Edge's battery should last you all day, and in my experience so far, this has been true -- but don't expect any more than that.

With the Galaxy S25 Edge in my possession, I took it for a spin for an entire day to see what the hype is all about with this ultra-thin phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is here. It's thin, expensive, and has a bewildering spec sheet. The more I look at it, the more I don't get it.
