This phone you have to know what you're getting into. You REALLY have to want thin and light. It's a "big" phone with the battery life of a "small" phone. It has the battery life of the smaller S25 with the screen size of the S25+ and the 200MP main camera of the S25 Ultra. The phone will still be supported for 7 years regardless if they discontinue the line.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is a thin, light Samsung phone that stands out for its in-hand feel and easy carry, while still offering a big-screen experience and a 200MP main camera. Battery life is described as decent to good for everyday use, and the 512GB storage under $800 is seen as strong value. The main tradeoff is that the slim design can make it harder to grip, and battery life may feel closer to a smaller phone than a full-size flagship. It suits buyers who want a large Samsung phone that feels unusually slim.
People who want a thin, easy-to-carry big-screen phone, because it feels light in hand and pocket without giving up a large display.
The thin design is a major selling point: it feels very light, easy to carry, and unusually good in hand compared with other Samsung phones. A caveat is that the extra thinness can make it harder to pick up from a table and less comfortable for some hands, even with a case.
Battery life is reported as decent to good for normal use like web browsing, gym time, and streaming, but it is still closer to a smaller phone than a big-screen model. Expect roughly 5-6 hours of screen-on time in one report, so heavy all-day users may notice the limit.
Yes if you want the thin-and-light design and 512GB storage, since multiple comments call under $800 a solid buy for this configuration. One shopper also noted a much lower open-box price at Best Buy, with new units listed at $729.99 and open-box excellent around $549.99-$587 depending on listing and condition.
It has a big-phone screen with battery life closer to the smaller S25, so the tradeoff is thinness and portability rather than maximum endurance. The upside is that it still keeps the 200MP main camera and is supported for 7 years.
I've had this since August and it's been great for me. Nice size but easy to carry with it being thin. The battery life has been decent. Getting a 512gb for under $800 is a solid buy imo.

I have a fold7 and this is my backup phone. Everytime I pick this up. Feels so nice compared to fold7. Ofcourse fold 7 I cant now live without But damn I love the edge..

it was $485 for same condition at Amazon during prime days. arrived pristine and loving this thing. I have stuck to base Samsung S-series since way back primarily due to small manageable size (tried ultra few times and just couldnt get comfortable). This edge is best of both worlds. i put a nice benks kevlar case, its so damn slim and light, i am still getting used to picking this up without fumbling. battery is manageable so i am sticking with it.
I got one, got a spigen case for now but getting the thinborne today or tomorrow. This thing is awesome but the real test is this week with going to the gym, streaming, etc.. but the battery life has been great. I have an Anker nightstand charger, 2 magsafe chargers for desks and wireless car charger. Battery life people just saw the MAH sticker and made comments without knowing, It's fine people.
Has anyone brought a open box excellent condition phone from BB. How was it?
I ordered it. I will let you know. Only thing is that BB dropped the price to $549 on OB-Exc so I am going to talk with the store and ask if there is anything they can do. My phone is still in transit. The terms and conditions do not give me hope. It is a $40 savings after tax over the previous price I listed.

Was $485 Prime Day deal for the 256GB or 512GB? My links are for 512GB.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is a thin, light Samsung phone that stands out for its in-hand feel and easy carry, while still offering a big-screen experience and a 200MP main camera. Battery life is described as decent to good for everyday use, and the 512GB storage under $800 is seen as strong value. The main tradeoff is that the slim design can make it harder to grip, and battery life may feel closer to a smaller phone than a full-size flagship. It suits buyers who want a large Samsung phone that feels unusually slim.
The phone's thin and light design can make it easier to carry and pick up during daily use.
Battery life can be manageable for gym and streaming use, with desk charging helping reduce battery anxiety.
The 512GB storage option can feel like strong value when priced under $800.
Open-box purchases can lower the effective price versus new pricing at the same retailer.
Open-box returns may trigger a $45 restocking fee, which can reduce the benefit of trying the device.
Battery life can be disappointing for some users, with at least one report calling it horrible.
The thin form factor can feel less comfortable in hand, and a case may still make it harder to pick up from a table.
Some reports raise concerns about Samsung software bloatware that cannot be uninstalled.
