Unlikely as this has the same titanium construction as the ultra. The materials used in the flagship have changed a lot in terms of strength from iphone 6 days.
The Edge is not titanium (Armor aluminum frame) unlike the Ultra! go to this link https://www.samsung.com/us/smartp...e/compare/ and compare the 25 Edge to the 25 Ultra and check the "Protection section"

I see, I did not look at the spec closely, was going by the early reviews but you are right it's not titanium as ultra so I'm not sure how it will fare in the bend test.

Should I see the $600 off in cart? It's showing up as full price for me. I did sign up for the 50% off for 6 months promotions so I'm wondering if it has to do with that.

If you are doing another promo, you won't see it until that's done e.g. I don't see the price as I'm still not done with s25 ultra promo

If I may ask, how much of a discount do you see for z fold 6 as an existing user. Fi stopped showing existing user deals if you are in the middle of doing a promo.

Z Fold6 is $700 off, so $1,199.99

It is misleading by Samsung to advertise the phone as: "Shielded by a strong titanium frame, your Galaxy S25 Edge stays protected". I believe they are doing what Apple did a couple of years ago when they advertised titanium but instead had an aluminum frame enhanced by very thin layer of titanium as was discovered by JerryRigEverything (since you mentioned the bend test

It has a smaller battery than the cheapest s25
I bet that is why they decided to call it "Edge"

You can try to cancel that 50% deal and if your renewal is before the 30th and you're able to cancel, you should be able to get this deal.
I had the same issue when the S25 came out in January. I signed up in December for the $30 unlimited deal not knowing you can only get one deal at a time. I was able to cancel, and my monthly plan did change over before the promo expired.
Go thru the steps for changing plan to flexible and before you fully process the cancelation, it should show you when the change will take place - hopefully its before the 30th. Good luck

Yeah, they play games with various grades of aluminum with titanium injections. I still believe it will have more tensile strength than vanilla aluminum but then again it's nowhere near the tank s25 ultra is.

Thank you, I was hoping they might do $1000 off but I guess those days are not coming back.

I doubt it...even with end of year discounts (at least for S24), the most was an additional $50 off current discounts.

This deal doesn't interest me personally, but I did want to mention I'm seeing a lower ($399.99 before tax) price (for the 256GB version of the Edge) than that shown on the thread title and original post when I go into my Fi app. (The 512Gb version is showing $519.99 (plus tax) if I wanted to buy that.)

I also had lower prices showing compared to what the Slickdeals thread showed at the beginning of the original S25 models rollout earlier this year. If I had to GUESS, assume it's probably because I'm a pretty longtime customer who hasn't replaced my (S22) phone in a few years? I did notice then that at some point my price went up to what others were seeing later on in the original S25 pre-release period.

Its $50 difference for most (some have different ) when Ultra was preorder , it was $650 discount, now its $600

s25+ was $600 , now $550 - some targeted users had an extra $100
