You're really eagle eyed! And yup, little slip up from our side; the iPhone has USB 2.0 while the Galaxy has USB 3.2. Thanks a lot for pointing it out 👌
What bothers me much more is the fact that when something is missing from an Android phone, we point it out as a flaw, but when the same thing is missing from an iPhone, we just say it’s not needed. It’s absurd: a thin phone that needs an external battery, only one speaker, only one camera, no SIM, weak battery life, and extreme overheating-Samsung solved these with a vapor chamber. I like both phones, but it has to be admitted: this time Samsung made the better device.
Why do Android fanboys always try to paint themselves as some kind of victims? LMAO. Literally under any smartphone video you can find people crying about other people liking the iPhone, even if the video is unrelated to iPhones. Like bro it's just a phone, people have different preferences and use cases, buy whatever you prefer.
@FlyingMartabak it's becoming really toxic and annoying, I miss the days when tech enthusiasts loved to talk about the actual tech instead of bashing on whatever is popular to bash on
@Gle-lv2fmnot because we care about Apple users at all. It's exhausting when an Apple enthusiast aggressively tells me how their limited device is a lot better when all evidence points out that Samsung is beating them in every aspect aside from CPU performance.
iPhone couldn't put - A flagship chip - A bigger battery - A sim tray - A 2nd speaker - A 2nd Camera Everything Samsung S25 Edge was able to do ??? Hmm, tech reviewers have to at some point learn to be honest for once about Apple not being that innovative of a company. Even their AI was a failure.
Personally I do prefer the iphone's sound even though it doesn't cut background noise because of exactly that. The noise remover does make her sound muffled and deeper to me.
The iPhone if far more natural plus I think the Samsung has a special mode on bc it sounds super processed tho not bad and I do like the lower background audio just not the voice
edge price is 249k air 499k in Hungary, so it is half price. Pros of edge: half price 30% bigger battery, wide camera, physical SIM, faster charging, stereo speaker.l..not a quuestion which one to buy.
30% battery didn't translate into more battery compared to the air, the air lasted longer than the edge in a lot of tests, air has a 48mp wide camera, esim is good, charging is the same speed. The only thing you got on the edge is 2 speakers and a "half price" even though the edge retails for more money.
@mydogisfast8 how's your phone with ios26 is working ? I heard that there are many bugs people facing in the new update Guess what ? One ui is still so smooth. And talkinh about benefits Edge has usb 3.2 , air has 2.0 You mentioned air having 48mp but edge has 200mp , extra ultra wide camera too And what air is offering ? Apart from that buggy liquid glass . Points which you mentioned makes air qual to gaalxy not better
Stereo speakers, single camera, worse battery life (tested) is hardly okay. S25 edge has compromises but it isn't a compromised phone through and through
wait a moment. is your profile picture from a mobile game once popular before pubg, Rules of Survival? I was playing it with my high school friends all the time and loved it
I completely agree with your conclusion [16:31]. I don't think anyone would pay this much for a phone just for the sake of thinness, especially when it compromises so many key features. Most people will definitely gravitate towards the tried and tested Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max. The ultra-slim segment will only become truly compelling if future versions can match the features and hardware of the flagship phones. 🙃🙃
We want to have consistent tests, which is why this always takes a little longer. However, we are working on it and the drain test will soon be included in our reviews.
@versus_complease include more telelens comparisons (when phone have them) as much as you have separate ultrawide comparison. I'm sure telelenses are even more important than uw.
It's also worth noting that the S25 Edge's 12 MP camera takes long-distance (periscope) 10X photos with more detail than the 200 MP camera at any zoom! In fact, the 12 MP camera is only surpassed by the 200 MP camera when NOT ZOOMED! In other words, the 12 MP camera works as a telephoto, macro, and ultrawide! The 12 MP camera is the Edge's universal camera, allowing you to zoom in maintaining more detail comparing to the 200 MP (while the 200 MP camera loses detail as soon as you zoom in - in fact the 200 MP camera notifies that).
Thanks for this info that I wasn't aware of! I'm looking for a new phone and find the Edge very appealing (I'm reluctant to buy the zFlip7, which I also think is cool.)
I have to say, it's been a long time since i've seen a tech product comparison video that was so easy/pleasant to watch, and I watched it till the the very end. The presenter is easy on the eyes, strikes a perfect tone for excitment and speed when speaking, the whole thing felt efficient, and I have to say this vid had some of the best transitional aspects (whatever you call the effects between shots). I am subscribing. This channel is going to go far. Mark my words :)
The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is substantially longer while using it on mobile data outside, especially far from the cells (driving outside the big cities, using GPS etc). Battery tests made in an apartment are not telling the full story. The same applies to all iPhone models. Good on paper, bad in real-life situations. Prices in Bulgaria: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: 1068 Euros iPhone Air: 1201 Euros
wanted to ask that in the comments already, thank you! i've been hearing about the "bad battery life of the edge" a lot, but when an iphone does it, nobody cares.
I prefer the design of the Air and I’m an Apple user but I’m impressed with how Samsung managed to cram so much more into the phone and make it weigh less. Regardless of which one you choose, I think us slim phone users should stick together. I also don’t think a lot of camera comparisons make sense anymore because you can alter the style\ blur after the fact. I think it makes more sense to just compare detail \ sharpness nowadays.
@bal7ha2arYeah an extra camera that statistically no one uses, every body and their mom uses zoom way more in pictures, plus that bigger battery doesn’t even make it last longer than the air.
@promo2099 wdym "a lot less"? both survived JerryRigEverythings durability test and tbh thats all the durability youll ever need from a phone. sure the glass doesnt scratch quite as easily on the air (screen protector is an easy fix) but i think the matte finish on the siderails of the edge will hold up better than the glossy one on the air.
iPhone is the one who did the destroying, the main camera of the edge despite the high MP count falls behind the air, the selfie of the Air is better by miles, and the Air actually has stronger performance while being thinner then the Edge
@promo2099 🍎 🐑 The lady was in favour of Apple so much so that she even awarded the Air with having USB 3.2 vs 2.0 from the Edge but it's the other way around, and I found that the mic too of the Edge minimises bavkground sounds better than the Air.
Only con of the S25E is that because of its sharp corners it feels in the hand as thick as S22U with rounded corner so its eliminates purpose of a thin phone in terms of usability
What about a battery test? For example only video playback to see what phone can actually last the longest. You could switch from RUclips, twitch, Netflix and other apps that offer video playback and see how each phone does in which app .
I must say that your phone videos are quite impressive. However, I was wondering if you might be familiar with any channels that offer similar comparative analyses of laptops?
This white screen measuring technique for brightness is incorrect, i hv seen this in life with my father’s s25ultra and my 16pm. The 16pm is brighter in sunlight outdoors harsh sun.
I used to be a subscriber, but I won’t be anymore - a major scam in the audio test clearly shows you’re Apple fans. Unfortunately 😞 I’ve seen tests on other channels, and the iPhone Air’s volume is a disaster, while in yours it just sounds “a bit quieter”… not cool at all :/
I mean the air is thinner too 5.64 and edge 5.88 in those 0.24 mm apple could hv done alot better but ofc alot of things need to be sacrificed for thickness
oh wow. you'd think that the iphone would have an outstanding microphone quality, or, at least, better due to the dual-grill microphone array... i'm quite surprised with how bad the sound quality was on the iphone.
We all know that S25 edge got all the hates. It's unfair i would say.
Aren't you saying that the iPhone Air hasn't been criticized more?
Edge is ugly.
@AradAlami-j8mapple copied Samsung as always they does to each other and the edge is better
@TrabukairoYT sorry but samsung copied first😅
GagoleNaol_12@GagoleNaol_12I don't mean thin phones, but touchscreen phones from the beginning.😁
That "congrats, you just bought a very expressive ipod touch" was got me tear up 😭😭😭
10:38 I believe this information is false. The Galaxy supports usb 3.2 gen 2 with upto 10Gbps transfer speeds. That's why it can support Samsung Dex.
depents on the region
One ui 8 have dex
I think she mixed it up. The iPhone Air is the one with the USB 2.0 type-c port.
@jacobnathanielzpayag3885must be the case
You are right! A little slip up from our side; the iPhone has USB 2.0 while the Galaxy has USB 3.2. Thanks a lot for pointing it out! 👌
10:37 it is the Samsung that have 3.2 USB speed while the iPhone is stuck in 2.0.
Exactly
@aryan47kumar5i mean considering it only has 1 camera
i doubt u will need 3.2 usb
You're really eagle eyed! And yup, little slip up from our side; the iPhone has USB 2.0 while the Galaxy has USB 3.2. Thanks a lot for pointing it out 👌
@versus_comkinda useless tho
@opxz4782 the pointlessness is the price of the phone which lacks a better camera setup and a MONO SPEAKER FOR 2025? With that price?
The edge is just a better phone entirely
Nope
Yes it is
Yeap
No
I mean yes
What bothers me much more is the fact that when something is missing from an Android phone, we point it out as a flaw, but when the same thing is missing from an iPhone, we just say it’s not needed.

I like both phones, but it has to be admitted: this time Samsung made the better device.
That's why I don't rely on what these RUclipsrs says..I go for what I prefer
Why do Android fanboys always try to paint themselves as some kind of victims? LMAO. Literally under any smartphone video you can find people crying about other people liking the iPhone, even if the video is unrelated to iPhones.
Like bro it's just a phone, people have different preferences and use cases, buy whatever you prefer.
@FlyingMartabak it's becoming really toxic and annoying, I miss the days when tech enthusiasts loved to talk about the actual tech instead of bashing on whatever is popular to bash on
I own both and I agree with you. The Edge is my preferred device.
@Gle-lv2fmnot because we care about Apple users at all. It's exhausting when an Apple enthusiast aggressively tells me how their limited device is a lot better when all evidence points out that Samsung is beating them in every aspect aside from CPU performance.
10:35 isnt it the other way around? I think you meant 3.2 for the edge and 2.0 for the iphone air.
Thanks for highlighting that my brother
Yes.
Why bother.... Apple inteligence kicked in 😂😂
Yes! A little slip up from our side; the iPhone has USB 2.0 while the Galaxy has USB 3.2. Thanks a lot for pointing it out!
2:26 its clearly visible that Edge has way less reflections lol
Edge: better battery, two cameras, better speakers, physically SIM
Air: thin +$100 magsafe brick.
+ free fingerprint magnet
The better choice is just the base 17 and s25. No reason to buy a thin phone in 2025 yet.
iPhone couldn't put
- A flagship chip
- A bigger battery
- A sim tray
- A 2nd speaker
- A 2nd Camera
Everything Samsung S25 Edge was able to do ??? Hmm, tech reviewers have to at some point learn to be honest for once about Apple not being that innovative of a company. Even their AI was a failure.
@tryingmann3458 so the A19 pro isn't flagship enough?
@saminogabino It's not the same A19 Pro like the one in the 17 Pro & 17 Pro max.
25 is prettier
That such a shitty take
Air solos
Dont respond...these are apple fan bois... Dont waste your time.
Your comment triggers apple fanboys
That looks like a cheap Chinese phone
8:00 its actually the opposite😂 samsung sound way clear it cancels the backroung noise😅
I noticed the exact same thing.😅
yeah i mean she litrally messed up that comparison😂
Maxtech owns this channel 😂😂
Personally I do prefer the iphone's sound even though it doesn't cut background noise because of exactly that. The noise remover does make her sound muffled and deeper to me.
The iPhone if far more natural plus I think the Samsung has a special mode on bc it sounds super processed tho not bad and I do like the lower background audio just not the voice
Why do you always shoot at a lower resolution on the Samsung while boasting it's 200 mp sensor
edge price is 249k air 499k in Hungary, so it is half price. Pros of edge: half price 30% bigger battery, wide camera, physical SIM, faster charging, stereo speaker.l..not a quuestion which one to buy.

The only thing you got on the edge is 2 speakers and a "half price" even though the edge retails for more money.
both retails the same
@mydogisfast8 how's your phone with ios26 is working ? I heard that there are many bugs people facing in the new update
Guess what ? One ui is still so smooth.
And talkinh about benefits
Edge has usb 3.2 , air has 2.0
You mentioned air having 48mp but edge has 200mp , extra ultra wide camera too
And what air is offering ? Apart from that buggy liquid glass . Points which you mentioned makes air qual to gaalxy not better
Samsung only keeps high price as a distraction... it gives discounts from the day 1 😂😂😂
which one to buy? neither
Both are okay but I would say the galaxy is the better buy.
I agree. Air would be the better experience for me though.
Stereo speakers, single camera, worse battery life (tested) is hardly okay. S25 edge has compromises but it isn't a compromised phone through and through
wait a moment. is your profile picture from a mobile game once popular before pubg, Rules of Survival? I was playing it with my high school friends all the time and loved it
@Chowderlieno it is PUBG Sarah is the character and it's on livik
@spinkick9270 damn. sorry for the nostalgia dump lol
Even with these results people will still say the Iphone is better smh. Samsung gives you tons more features for a better price.
I swear to God . This was an amazing review for these phones . I love you so much . Thank you so much
Dual stereo speaker is more important for me than anti reflective coating. Versus is always biased towards Apple. Edge anyday for me 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Wait what does fh6 have to do with this😭
25 looks better in my opinion, more cameras. Bigger battery. It's not much thicker either. Id easily buy the edge
Better battery? Said who?
@kamallb4650said him
@kamallb4650no one said better battery, please read
@hid4bigger battery doesn't equate to better battery.
@kamallb4650yes. Let’s try it again, who said better battery except you?
It is not official until versus do it
True
😂
Same as phonebuff
@tuiratranhhagree
Gsmarena?
Samsung takes the crown in this challenge❤🔥✊🏾
100%
King Samsung takes all crowns 👑
Thanks for the video it was worth the wait
Please make more videos of the Pixel 10 Pro
I have to admit, in a very competitive RUclips environment of reviewers the ones by Versus are very well organized. Thanks 🙏
Finally the comparison I've been waiting for even thought I can't afford either 😂
Where can i get the wallpapers on display
how can i get the wallpaper it looks fresh and cool
I completely agree with your conclusion [16:31]. I don't think anyone would pay this much for a phone just for the sake of thinness, especially when it compromises so many key features. Most people will definitely gravitate towards the tried and tested Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max. The ultra-slim segment will only become truly compelling if future versions can match the features and hardware of the flagship phones. 🙃🙃
How come there is always one important test missing? Battery life/endurance/drain test?
We want to have consistent tests, which is why this always takes a little longer. However, we are working on it and the drain test will soon be included in our reviews.
@versus_complease include more telelens comparisons (when phone have them) as much as you have separate ultrawide comparison. I'm sure telelenses are even more important than uw.
Now that Apple have brought out a lightweight thin phone, the 'nobody asked for it' crowd seem to have gone silent.
Where do you get these wallpapers from
Didn't fully watch yet but thank you for this video and thank you for the high production value this channel brings.
Why does this feel like an AI script
Really liking the quality of these videos! Host doing a great job too. Keep it up guys! 💪🏻🍀
Hell this was very much needed
This is a great channel for comparisons.
This sounds like apple edging video
which Sony camera yall used in the video
Waited for this. Hell yeah
It's also worth noting that the S25 Edge's 12 MP camera takes long-distance (periscope) 10X photos with more detail than the 200 MP camera at any zoom!

1:16 I didn't know iPhone has brushed titanium. It's too glossy.
It’s obviously polished 😂
Pls do camera comparison of iphone 17 vs S25 plssssssss
I have to say, it's been a long time since i've seen a tech product comparison video that was so easy/pleasant to watch, and I watched it till the the very end. The presenter is easy on the eyes, strikes a perfect tone for excitment and speed when speaking, the whole thing felt efficient, and I have to say this vid had some of the best transitional aspects (whatever you call the effects between shots). I am subscribing. This channel is going to go far. Mark my words :)
Welcome to the channel, and thanks for your kind words and the support! 😃
Great comparison video!
11:58 the best loop of the air was already throttled. it usually hits around 5000
Yes it was tested by mrwhosetheboss
Samsung Galaxy to infinity
Me too🎉🎉

i higly doubt that. The c1 modem is extremely efficient
I prefer the design of the Air and I’m an Apple user but I’m impressed with how Samsung managed to cram so much more into the phone and make it weigh less.
Regardless of which one you choose, I think us slim phone users should stick together.
I also don’t think a lot of camera comparisons make sense anymore because you can alter the style\ blur after the fact. I think it makes more sense to just compare detail \ sharpness nowadays.
Wow it ways 2 grams less so amazing.
@mydogisfast8 so what, it still has an extra camera, sim card slot and a way bigger battery. you would expect it to be heavier yet its not
@bal7ha2arYeah an extra camera that statistically no one uses, every body and their mom uses zoom way more in pictures, plus that bigger battery doesn’t even make it last longer than the air.
It weighs less and is also a lot less durable, the Air is dense and feels extremely premium while being thinner
@promo2099 wdym "a lot less"? both survived JerryRigEverythings durability test and tbh thats all the durability youll ever need from a phone. sure the glass doesnt scratch quite as easily on the air (screen protector is an easy fix) but i think the matte finish on the siderails of the edge will hold up better than the glossy one on the air.
Design wise I personally like the AIR, it looks so comfortable compared to edges boxy design.
Awesome content from this channel🔥🔥
And they call the Edge a failed experiment 😂it destroyed the Air here 🔥
😂😂
iPhone is the one who did the destroying, the main camera of the edge despite the high MP count falls behind the air, the selfie of the Air is better by miles, and the Air actually has stronger performance while being thinner then the Edge
@promo2099 okay iSheep
@promo2099 🍎 🐑 The lady was in favour of Apple so much so that she even awarded the Air with having USB 3.2 vs 2.0 from the Edge but it's the other way around, and I found that the mic too of the Edge minimises bavkground sounds better than the Air.
not really
Amazing video. New sub for sure.
What theme is she running on the s25 edge
Can I get the iphone air's wallpaper link 😊
have you guys ever thought of using the light battery profile for the samsung tests?
Is this a comparison 1 camera vs 2 camera
I love these reviews! Keep up Versus!
5:45 why you said edge detection is same, when iphone shot is rough as my gramas hands, yuk, definitelly point for samsung here
7:52 WOAH, that difference is shocking!
Love this comparison 😊❤
That galaxy reminds me to my galaxy alpha with was a beauty
Please add the battery runtime
You should have done a battery drain test
good choice video 👍👍
Nice vid.
Missed most important aspect of SOT in such a long video 😑
Where is the battery life comparison?
10:57 I just got a basemodel s25 and I love how cool the battery
Only con of the S25E is that because of its sharp corners it feels in the hand as thick as S22U with rounded corner so its eliminates purpose of a thin phone in terms of usability
Verses's half of the video be like - warm natural, warm natural, warm natural.....
The Edge probably can be a better buy (in some countries), but the iPhone is just more comfy. And that is the whole point of these phones.
Xiaomi 17 review pls
S25 edge audio quality is better then s25 ultra also
10:43 why is the aur noticeably brighter than the edge
How are the haptics on these phones?
What were the mic test results? Is your hearing normal?
Поздравления за видеото, но искам да ви попитам какво стана с българския канал който имахте?
The edge feels like an ultra lite. Reminiscent to the last ultra phone before the Note replaced it
Amazing comparison ❤❤,
Love the edge.
There may be some people on the fence about which one to get, but most people will just stay with their brand loyalty.
What about a battery test? For example only video playback to see what phone can actually last the longest. You could switch from RUclips, twitch, Netflix and other apps that offer video playback and see how each phone does in which app .
Love how premium the edge looks.
In my opinion I think the air looks more premium than Samsung as it looks like a $500 phone
@cardinal-woodpecker until you touch the phone without a cover
I must say that your phone videos are quite impressive. However, I was wondering if you might be familiar with any channels that offer similar comparative analyses of laptops?
I am already using this
Can y'all start filming in HDR? I know it's a hassle with RUclips, though.
12:59 no??? Its 6 years at most
You always forget macro mode every camera comparison😂
This white screen measuring technique for brightness is incorrect, i hv seen this in life with my father’s s25ultra and my 16pm. The 16pm is brighter in sunlight outdoors harsh sun.
Iphone air should have 2 cameras
It's always Samsung vs Grey curtain
Apple vs Samsung (Grey Curtain)?
perfect versus
I used to be a subscriber, but I won’t be anymore - a major scam in the audio test clearly shows you’re Apple fans. Unfortunately 😞 I’ve seen tests on other channels, and the iPhone Air’s volume is a disaster, while in yours it just sounds “a bit quieter”… not cool at all :/
I'm planning to buy a new phone - Xiaomi 17 Pro Max or iPhone 17 Pro Max. Which one is better
Got my edge 512 for $699 on a sale, also, the anti glaring screen protector I got as a bonus from Samsung was phenomenal.
I got mine for 500 dollars basically new 256 gb hehe apple air costs 3x as much
8:07 comment
yo ka hove
Edge
I mean the air is thinner too 5.64 and edge 5.88 in those 0.24 mm apple could hv done alot better but ofc alot of things need to be sacrificed for thickness
0:55 I miss the moto z, that was the best phone I ever had
oh wow. you'd think that the iphone would have an outstanding microphone quality, or, at least, better due to the dual-grill microphone array... i'm quite surprised with how bad the sound quality was on the iphone.
This is the most expressive way I have ever seen a human speak.
You did a good job 👍🏾🙂
