Samsung’s newest release, the Galaxy S25 Edge, is stirring up plenty of conversation across social media. Fans are divided over the phone’s design choices, performance, and overall value.
The “Edge” label, once synonymous with Samsung’s signature curved displays, has left many fans scratching their heads. The S25 Edge features a flat display, leading some to question its name altogether.
“Why call it Edge when it has a flat display?” a Reddit user wondered. Others drew comparisons to Apple’s latest flagship, with comments like, “Design stolen from iPhone 16. Could’ve put more effort in the Edge’s return.”
Some fans also criticized the phone’s design as impractical, especially for women who already struggle with limited pocket space.
On the performance front, the S25 Edge boasts top-tier specs, including the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a powerful 200MP camera. Yet, concerns about the device’s 3900mAh battery persist.
“3900 mAh only? This phone is a joke just like the iPhone 16e,” a user on a social platform remarked.
Another added, “With how bad the battery life is on my phone, which has the same battery as the S23, this phone’s battery life is going to be absolutely terrible.”
The S25 Edge’s premium price tag—estimated at $1000-$1200—has also come under scrutiny. Some argue that it doesn’t offer enough to justify the price.
“At 1200 dollars you’re only a hundred bucks from the Ultra, and the Plus now looks like a bargain at 900 bucks,” one Redditor pointed out.
Others questioned who exactly the device is for, with one user asking, “Who is this even for?”
Despite the criticisms, there are fans who appreciate the S25 Edge’s slim and lightweight design. A Reddit member shared, “Being thinner and lighter makes it easier to carry, period.”
Another added, “It looks awesome. I want it. It’s sleek, lighter, and easier to hold.”
As the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge finds its way into the hands of consumers, it’s clear the device has divided opinions. While some love the sleek, portable design, others remain skeptical about its value and battery performance.
The coming months will reveal whether the S25 Edge can win over the broader market—or if Samsung’s gamble on this “Edge” will fall flat.
