Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, a testament to engineering innovation, has entered the smartphone market. Its specifications include high-end features and advanced camera sensors in a slim 5.84mm frame. This device was designed to be a trendsetter. The iPhone Air from Apple also strives for excellence in a thin design. The iPhone Air incorporates a 6.5-inch display with thin bezels. The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches up to 3,000 nits brightness. A titanium frame adds strength, and Ceramic Shield 2 adds scratch protection to the screen. The device has a 48MP main camera. The main camera can take full-resolution photos or default to 24MP. There’s also a 2x telephoto option. The front-facing camera features an 18MP Center Stage camera that adjusts framing for group selfies and allows easy switching between portrait and landscape modes. The phone utilizes the A19 Pro chip, supporting gaming, photo editing, video editing, and new Apple Intelligence features. Apple estimates the battery will last all day, with up to 27 hours of video playback. Fast charging allows a 50% charge in about 30 minutes. The Galaxy S25 Edge showcases top S25 range features within a 5.84mm thick design. The Edge uses a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X display with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The camera includes a 200MP f/1.7 aperture (wide), a 1/1.56” sensor with PDAF and OIS, and a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide PDAF front-facing camera. The phone has a 3900mAh battery and 25W wired charging.
