Samsung unveiled the edge of the Galaxy S22 – measuring only 5.8 mm, it is the thinest smartphone in years. In fact, no other phone published in the 2020s has dropped below 6 mm thick. This does not happen cheap, of course – here is a detailed price breakdown. Is the phone you are waiting for or Samsung is trying to push a game that won’t catch up?
If you are leaning towards the former, you will be happy to hear that the edges of the Samsung Galaxy S22 are more influenced than just being thin – it is also very lighter. Despite the large disparity in the size of the screen (6.7 “v.2.1”) Vanilla Galaxy S 25 weighs more than one gram. And it packs 200MP sensors in the main camera, which is previously specific to the ultra models.
There is a downside, of course, like battery capacity – it is less than vanilla S 25 (3,900 mAh vs. 4,000 mAh). And it has slow charging (25W wired, 15W wireless). There is no telephoto camera, it depends on a 200MP unit to zoom in. And in the end, it’s expensive. Samsung.com offers a free storage upgrade, such as Amazon – Amazon also adds a $ 50 gift card.
As always, the offers on the old models for a week or two are dried when the new model is launched. The Samsung Galaxy S 25 Ultra can be found with a free storage upgrade from Samsung.com to 512 GB, with Amazon cost about $ 100. Ultra is chunkier (8.2 mm, 218g vs.
And the 200MP camera is not alone when it comes to zooming – there is a 10MP3x (67 mm) medium tally and a 50MP5x (111 mm) long tally. It also has a 50MP ultra-wide camera, while the same has a basic 12MP unit such as vanilla and plus models.
It is reported that the edge will change the plus model in the Galaxy lineup next year. This year, however, the Galaxy S 25+ is a little cheaper – even without a discount. If you want S 25+, we advise you to wait a week or two. The phone is large despite the same screen size (7.3 mm, 190 g vs. 5.8 mm, 163 g). However, it has a large battery of 1,000 mAh (4,900 mAh) and fast 45W wired charging. Instead of a 200MP camera, it has a 50MP main and 10MP3X (67 mm) telephoto.
While that razor is thin, the edge of the S25 is still 75.6 mm wide. The Vanilla Samsung Galaxy S 25 is 70.5 mm wide and the same weight. Which phone is “small” in your mind? If it is S2, you get the same hardware as 6.2 “displays and 4,000 mAh batteries (essentially the same size as edge), S2 25+.
Looking at other brands, the OnePlus is close to the size of 13 ultra. But it packs a large 6.82 “display and 6,000 mAh batteries-Summing has not yet gone above 5,000 mAh. And this is with a fast 80W wire and 50W wireless charging. The camera is 50MP main, supported by 50 MP3x (73 mm) and 50MP ultra-wan, which is less than $ 100.
There is also a more affordable OnePlus 13R-It uses Snapdragon 8 General 3 chip instead of 8 Chunanda, its tally camera has 2x lens (47 mm) and ultra-wide is only 8MP units. There are some other downgrades, but you still have 6.78 “LTPO panels (1264p+ vs.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is another phone that competes with Ultra instead of the edge. It measures 8.5 mm thick and weighs with 6.8 “displays and 5,060 mAh batteries (charging 37 W/23W). It has a 50MP main, 48MP5X (113 mm) and 48MP ultra-wide camera.
Google Pixel 9 Pro is 72 mm wide – S 25 is not as small and heavy at 199G. But you get the same hardware as the Pro XL, except for 6.3 “displays and 4,700 mAh batteries (27 W/21 W).
The Redmagic 10 air started a month ago and is the same price as the OnePlus 13R. It uses the same Snapdragon 8 General 3 chipset, without an active cooling fan that is a trademark for the brand. Its 8.8 “display is not an LTPO panel and 50+50MP cameras are wide and over-wide, no telephoto on the board. You get the same battery (6,000 mAh, 80 W-Werd-Charging) which is a bit larger.
Redmagic 10 Pro is $ 150 more than air, but you get Snapdragon 8 elite with active cooling and large 7,050 mAh batteries. Also, the USB-C port is USB 2.5 with a port displayport and if you like to use external displays and/or wire headphones, you get MM.mm mm headphone jack. Fans and batteries will add some bulk, however, the Pro measures 8.9 mm and 229G.
