Samsung has introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is the thinnest smartphone in years with a thickness of 5.8mm, featuring a 200MP main camera and weighing only slightly more than the regular Galaxy S25.

The Edge costs £1,100 in the UK with a free storage upgrade to 512GB and £100 Samsung Credit, while the S25 Ultra is priced at £1,000 with identical storage.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra, although chunkier, offers a larger display, a bigger 5,000mAh battery with faster charging, and additional telephoto cameras compared to the Edge.
The Galaxy S25+ is cheaper than the Edge and offers a larger battery with faster charging, but comes with a 50MP main camera instead of the 200MP found in the Edge and Ultra models.
Comparatively, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is cheaper than the Edge, offering a similar hardware package to the S25+ but with a 6.2” display and a 4,000mAh battery.
