The 6.7-inch body may be harder to handle for fans of smaller phones.

Caution

Editorial Analysis

Strengths and points to consider

The Kacbu editors' assessment of the specifications the maker publishes. We do not test devices ourselves, so nothing here is a measured result. Anything taken from an independent review is shown with its publication and date in the Press section.

Strengths based on the specs

5.8 mm thick and 163 grams while still carrying a 6.7-inch screen — no other flagship comes close.

200 MP main camera on a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, shared with the S25 Ultra.

1440p LTPO display at 513 ppi, sharper than the standard S25 and the FE.

Titanium frame with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, plus IP68 and Wi-Fi 7.

Seven major OS updates and Samsung DeX support.

Things to consider

3,900 mAh — the smallest battery in the S25 line, in the phone with the sharpest screen.

No telephoto camera at all: zoom is a crop of the 200 MP sensor.

25W charging, slow for a flagship at this price.

Thin bodies leave less room for cooling, so sustained performance suffers.

It launched above the S25+ while offering fewer cameras.

FAQ

The most common questions about this product

What the numbers on the spec sheet actually mean in day-to-day use.

What does the thinness actually cost?

Two things: the battery drops to 3,900 mAh, the smallest in the S25 range, and the telephoto camera is gone entirely. You get the flagship chip and the 200 MP sensor, but zoom is digital and heavy days are likely to need a charger.

Edge or S25 Ultra?

The Ultra keeps the 200 MP sensor and adds a real 3x and 5x zoom, a bigger battery and faster charging, at the cost of weight and thickness. The Edge exists for people who want a flagship that disappears in a pocket — it is a deliberate trade, not a cheaper Ultra.

Does a 5.8 mm phone get hot?

There is less room for a vapour chamber than in a normal flagship, so sustained loads — long gaming sessions, 8K recording — can be expected to throttle sooner than on the S25 Ultra; we have not measured it. Everyday use should be unaffected.
