hello this is Simer
0:11
Mobility finally the long rumored long
0:16
awaited Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been
0:21
announced and the specs are no surprise
0:25
the design is no surprise the whole idea
0:29
of the phone the whole marketing point
0:31
of the phone is how slim it is and how
0:36
slim is this guy
0:39
5.8 mm thick let me give you an
0:44
idea this flip phone here
0:49
right is 7 mm thick and it's super slim
0:57
extremely slim the Samsung Galaxy S25
1:02
Edge is thinner than
1:05
this that's extremely impressive if
1:08
there is one thing that is factual about
1:12
having a thin smartphone it's that
1:15
something has to
1:16
give one the battery life is usually the
1:19
first thing secondly the cameras
1:23
for example the Samsung Galaxy S25
1:26
series they all have a telephoto lens
1:30
the S25 Edge does not have one because
1:34
it's hard to fit a telephoto lens into
1:37
5.8 mm thickness and so telephoto lens
1:42
is out of the way instead it has a 200
1:46
megapixel main camera which is in the
1:48
ultra plus a 12 MP ultra wide camera
1:53
the selfie cameras the standard 12
1:56
megapix
1:58
shooter the Galaxy S25 Edge has a 6.7 in
2:04
dynamic AMOLED display so that's such a
2:06
small display that's in the S25 Plus
2:10
size territory it's not as small as S25
2:13
it's not as big as the Ultra the display
2:16
size is the same as the S25 Plus but now
2:21
because of the thinness the battery is
2:25
down to 3,900
2:28
mAh think about that all the way from
2:32
five the standard the bare minimum
2:37
battery capacity that modern smartphones
2:39
have is 5,000 mAh even with that many
2:44
smartphones don't have exemplary battery
2:46
life good not exemplary now imagine you
2:51
have a 6.7 in dynamic AMOLED display and
2:56
there is a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset
3:01
premium the most
3:03
powerful the most powerful engine out
3:05
there in that phone and all you have is
3:09
a
3:11
3,900 mAh
3:13
battery guess what's going to give yes
3:17
battery
3:19
life if you intend to buy the Samsung
3:22
Galaxy S25 Edge the one thing you will
3:26
sacrifice the most that you will feel
3:28
the most that will irk you the most that
3:32
will impact your habit the most is going
3:34
to be the battery life i promise
3:38
you using this guy with a 4,000 mAh
3:42
battery for a year the one thing that I
3:46
wish above all others that is better
3:49
with this phone is the battery life as a
3:52
matter of fact because of this guy's
3:55
battery life I
3:57
have gone shopping for power banks i
4:01
want a compact power bank that can I can
4:04
carry around when I need to be outside
4:07
for extended periods because this guy's
4:10
battery life just does not measure
4:13
up it just doesn't measure
4:16
up the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a sexy
4:19
device thin devices are sexy i mean come
4:23
on what's not to like and it's thinner
4:25
than this like I said earlier
4:28
but in terms of
4:30
usability all it takes is a maximum of 5
4:33
hours of non-stop use or of heavy use
4:37
and you will run out of
4:40
battery that's been my experience with
4:43
this if I am out and about for extended
4:46
period of time and I'm regularly using
4:48
this maximum four or five hours I'm
4:51
getting a low battery alert on this
4:53
phone
4:54
if you can live with that yes go get
4:57
your Samsung Galaxy S25 AG without
4:59
worrying about battery life but if you
5:01
can't live with that start planning on
5:04
how to get a power bank a portable
5:07
battery to carry around with it there is
5:09
another way i know how many times I have
5:13
spent extended period
5:16
outside and looking for a charger to top
5:20
this up wishing I had a power bank so
5:24
that I'm not constantly hunting for a
5:28
charger and power source to top it
5:32
up it depends on where you live if you
5:34
live in a country where there's power
5:35
supply all the time and you know all of
5:38
that you you can pull it
5:40
off let me run you through quick specs
5:42
of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge there's a
5:45
6.7 in dynamic AMOLED display there's a
5:49
Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in there
5:52
there is IP68 dust and water protection
5:55
there's 12 GB of RAM i love it there's
5:58
256 gig or 512 gig of storage great a
6:03
200 megapixel main camera plus 12
6:06
megapixel ultrawide at the back there's
6:09
a 12 megapixel selfie camera in front
6:12
and one of the nicest things about it is
6:16
that it's only 163 g heavy that's super
6:22
light
6:24
that's That's how I how I like my phones
6:27
to be light i'm not a fan of heavy
6:30
phones
6:32
so will you buy the Samsung Galaxy S25
6:37
Edge do you intend to oh how much does
6:40
it cost
6:43
ah
6:46
$1,099 for the base model the base model
6:49
is the one with the 12 gig RAM and 256
6:52
gig storage so it's priced between the
6:57
S25 Plus and the S25 Ultra
7:01
yeah you you you have to do some heavy
7:03
spending to get this one i do not intend
7:06
to buy the Galaxy S25 Edge but if it had
7:12
a 6.2 6.3 in display the size of the S25
7:18
and had this thickness I would consider
7:21
it you see that display is much smaller
7:24
so power consumption will be much lower
7:27
battery life will be better and the
7:29
phone will be extremely handy that thin
7:31
that small that lightweight extremely
7:34
handy my type of phone it would make the
7:39
S25 Edge perfect that compact form
7:43
factor with that thickness and this
7:48
battery i'll be looking for how to get
7:51
one for myself right now
7:53
if that was what was offered I mean
7:58
what's not to like okay I don't like
8:00
that Samsung has included only 25 watt
8:02
fast charging come on give the entire
8:06
series 45 watts it's not as if that 45
8:09
watts even charges as fast as you know
8:12
45 watts from other manufacturers do
8:15
this guy is already battery challenged
8:16
and then you give it 25 watt charging at
8:20
least make it easier to top it up faster
8:22
what would make it perfect for me
8:25
smaller screen same thickness 45 watt uh
8:29
fast
8:31
charging take my money Samsung take my
8:34
money anyway I just wanted to give you a
8:37
heads up that as beautiful and as sleek
8:40
as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is as
8:44
lovely as it
8:46
is if you're a heavy user you really
8:50
ought to stay away from it if you're not
8:52
a heavy user or if you always have a
8:54
charger or a power
8:56
bank with you like you know like a lot
9:01
of iPhone users are if you always have a
9:04
power bank or a charging slot around you
9:08
you don't need to worry about battery
9:10
life just buy it and plug in it at every
9:12
opportunity but if you're a heavy user
9:15
and you're out and about a lot away from
9:17
a power
9:19
outlet I don't think that this is the
9:21
phone for you but let me know let me
9:23
know what you think i think it's it's
9:25
it's an interesting thing a lot of
9:27
people don't like the idea of a thinner
9:30
phone because of the battery life thing
9:32
yes I agree but I like thin
9:36
phones i like thin phones i like compact
9:40
phones i like lightweight phones so this
9:43
is this is something I really like i
9:46
like the whole concept i just wish it
9:48
had been differently implemented with a
9:50
smaller
9:52
display same
9:55
battery it would be a home run for me
9:58
i'm not sure that there are lots of
10:00
people who have my tastes and
10:02
preferences but for me it will be a home
10:04
run and I'd just be looking for how to
10:06
get one for myself right now but with a
10:08
6.7 in display no no no no i'll see you
10:15
in my next video
