A 5.8 millimeter-thin endurance marvel : Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone review

[Redaktion]

In our tests, the ultra-slim Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge not only surprised us with its excellent battery life. Thanks to its sturdy IP68-certified titanium case and brand-new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for the LTPO OLED panel, the 163-gram lightweight is also extremely robust and rigid. However, the extra-thin design does mean it compromises on some features.

You have to measure from the thickest part of the phone, not the thinnest. Otherwise they'll just start sharpening the phones to a knife's blade. We figured this out like a decade ago when people started interesting their wrists on MacBooks, remember?

When you actually measure the true thickness of the phone, this phone is fat AF. The thickness of the camera... Which is still thinner than the true thickness of the phone once it's in its mandatory case.

Not that it matters though, everybody realized that buying the thinnest phone is dumb, right around when we had to choke down our first $200 pair of Air pods to replace our much, much nicer wired headphones.

[when lightweight models?]

At just 163 grams, the 6.7-inch device feels extremely light, almost making comparison devices, all of which weigh over 210 grams, seem like heavyweights.

Snapdragon 8 Elite + 6.7 inch and only 163g is something new and I personally am in the market for something with these specs and light-weighty. Can confirm, my old S4 Mini - 160g - was very nicely lightweight. Would be awesome if the mid-range, like the A56, would offer something e.g. a A56L (or the successor A57L) (L for lightweight, or A56F (F for featherweight)). So let's go SAMSUNG and others: To sell more phones here is a good reason: Lightweight models (I'm not being sarcastic, I loved the lightfulness of my old phone).

I am beginning to doubt notebookcheck battery tests. Something is fishy here. They seem to go counter to most other tests one can find online.
