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 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.
Yep that's the price ($549.99) before tax I'm seeing now. I also seeing $45 Restocking fee if returned.

Yeah, I saw the restocking fee. Typically that applies if opened when reading the terms. So I will see what they do for me, worth the drive if they'll let me re-buy at the discount or refund the difference, even to a gift card.

Everything they make is a flop. Even my s10 that i didn't breathe on developed a black spot. Now scumsung won't accept it for trade. And i won't bother with anything scumsung either. S24 GPS is horrible. Good thing i have a gps watch.

Yeah Samsung went to shit the last few years for sure
I don't touch Samsung devices anymore. Weirdly they are the only devices that get burn-in OLED screens. I have Pixels and iPhones from the same year as my Samsung devices (2022). Samsung devices has major burn-in.

Yes, especially with the amount of bloatware/crapware that you cannot uninstall. I'm ditching my S25 as soon as my contract is up and going back to Pixel.
I have this phone - traded in my Pixel 9 to help reduce the cost. IMO - this thinness thing is overrated. I bought the official Samsung leather case for it (to make sure it still stays thin even with a case on it), and even with case on, it's so thin that it's hard to pick up the phone when phone is on a table for instance. And when you're holding it, it's also not as comfortable as my Pixel - because it's extra thin, it feels like it's digging into your hand.

Has anyone brought a open box excellent condition phone from BB. How was it?
I've bought multiple. Most of the time they are perfect or brand new looking. I've gotten a couple that were marked as excellent but had pretty decent scratches, so I had them exchange it. I usually ask them if it's cool if I open it and look at it before leaving the store and they're usually fine with that.

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.
