Smartphones Get Slimmer: The Rise of the Galaxy S25 Edge
this year marks a significant shift in smartphone design,with devices becoming noticeably thinner adn lighter. The trend began in January with the launch of the Oppo Find N5,touted as the world’s thinnest folding phone. Shortly after, Tecno introduced its Spark Slim Concept phone, further pushing the envelope on slim designs.
Before these releases, Samsung hinted at its entry into this ultra-slim market with the Galaxy S25 Edge during the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, several months later, consumers can finaly purchase the Galaxy S25 edge ahead of apple’s anticipated release of its own ultra-thin device—the iPhone 17 Air.
The Allure of Ultra-Thin Smartphones
The main attraction for these sleek devices is their notable thinness compared to standard smartphones. But just how thin is Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge? While it’s true that you need to hold it to fully appreciate its design, I decided to measure it against other popular phones and everyday items for a clearer viewpoint.
Measuring Up: Specifications and Dimensions
The Galaxy S25 Edge boasts a thickness of just 5.8mm at its slimmest point; however, this measurement increases slightly due to its camera bump. In contrast,most smartphones typically range from 7.3mm to 8.5mm thick—an increase that becomes noticeable when held side by side.
