Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Will Give the iPhone 17 Air Some Competition at $699.99

In a world where phones blend together, the Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is a game changer. With a price drop from $1,099.99 to $699.99, it’s a strong case for Android fans looking for innovation, style and power.

Start with the design, as the S25 Edge is a masterwork of how to combine style and functionality. This phone, which weighs 163g and is 5.8mm thick, is the thinnest of the Galaxy S series and easily fits in a pocket or purse. Premium, robust, and elegant are the Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 front and titanium frame. When you hold it in Titanium JetBlack, you’ll note the balance: it’s elegant without seeming delicate, and it’s robust without being heavy. The flat edges are contemporary and comfortable to hold, departing from Samsung’s curved designs of the past.

Move to the display and the S25 Edge doesn’t disappoint. The 6.7 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with QHD+ resolution is crisp, vibrant and immersive. Colors pop with richness that makes everything from Netflix binges to casual scrolling a delight. The 120Hz refresh rate makes animations buttery smooth whether you’re swiping through apps or playing fast paced games. Brightness holds up in harsh sunlight and the always on display keeps essential info like time and notifications just a glance away.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 12GB of RAM it handles everything with ease. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless and even demanding tasks like video editing or gaming run without a hitch. The 256GB storage has plenty of space for photos, videos and apps. Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7 is clean and intuitive and customizable without being overwhelming.

Even in complex settings, the 200MP primary sensor captures incredibly detailed images with retained colors and textures. AI-powered Nightography, which enhances low light images without sacrificing quality, makes night photography fantastic. You may zoom in or out with the 12MP telephoto and ultrawide lenses without sacrificing quality. The AI adapts to skin tones and lighting conditions to create natural-looking selfies with the 12MP front camera. Features like Best Face make group photos perfect and easily correct blinks or unflattering facial expressions. Night Video mode keeps footage bright in low light, and 8K video recording at 60 frames per second is fluid and dramatic.

The 3,900mAh battery can withstand a full day of intensive use before needing to be recharged, regardless of whether you’re streaming, gaming, or chatting all day. Wireless charging is practical when it’s time to recharge, and quick charging quickly restores your battery to full capacity. More intelligent than ever, power management adjusts to your usage patterns to prolong battery life and prevent overheating when the phone is used for prolonged periods of time.

Samsung’s Galaxy AI is like having a personal assistant that knows what you need. It can find a restaurant that allows pets and text a friend the info in seconds. Daily briefings use info from your apps like calendar reminders or weather updates to keep you organized. AI is woven into the experience making tasks quicker and easier to understand. It’s not just a gimmick. Looking for a specific picture? The phone will find it for you if you describe it. You can focus on what matters because these features save time.

Water resistant and built tough, the S25 Edge is ready for life’s mishaps whether it’s a splash of rain or an accident. At $699.99 it feels like a steal for what you get – a phone that rivals devices that cost hundreds more.
