Nobody asked for thinner phones... so they went EVEN THINNER Samsung S25 Edge: geni.us/Khfig MKBHD Merch: shop.MKBHD.com Playlist of MKBHD Intro music: goo.gl/B3AWV5 ~ / mkbhd / mkbhd / mkbhd
YES! It's like tech reviews seem to forget that an insane amount of capital is put up to try something out. Give em credit for putting something out there, letting people actually use it and keep improving along the way. If they waited for perfect, we'd never see anything new.
Despite his completely biased review that nobody asked for i think it makes sense to make a small phone with the big 200mp camera. The ultra phones are just huge that not everyone wants this brick in their pocket. Also, personally I don't see much of a need for a case with a screen protector. Like yeah the aluminum on the sides will get a little chipped after a while but it doesn't bother me not worth adding a bunch of size to the phone
Except if 'more' to you is having a thin and light phone 🤷♂️ I haven't used a Samsung device in probably 10-12 years, but boy is this thing great to look at and probably to hold. Your subjective needs and wants aren't everyone else's. Samsung didn't just make this phone for fun... they're a business; they identified that there was a desire for it.
@G_F1 But this thin and light phone comes with even lighter use when it only has 3900mah. I don't think many people will accept it in 2025 even if they like the look of the phone.
@G_F1 Yeah, it is cool, but is pretty expensive, hahaha. Considering the depreciation that Samsung phones suffer, it will cost a half as much in less than a year, which makes it seem like a rip-off if you bought it in the first month.
@tomasvblanco I'm of the opinion that no one should buy a smartphone in 2025 with the idea of resale value in mind. Use the phone until it dies or loses software support. People need to stop buying a new phone every 1-2 years. It's really not necessary.
@ that's a fair gripe, but if someone cannot get a full day's use out of their phone and then charge it overnight, I'm gonna go ahead and say they're on their phone WAY too much. Just my opinion. In which case, yeah, not the phone for that person.
While it would be good for consumers, it would be a stupid business decision for them to waste margin on improving features. They don't care about global market, only USA and Canada where the Government will ban any competition. They gave up the market in China, Russia, India, UAE, Iran without even trying. They're clearly content with lower risk, safer investment in US regulators.
nah we already done thin for like from 2013, we just going through cycle again but this time if that battery just that small i bet it will shit even if iphone made it. and bet even iphone 13 will be smaller like 2500-3000 mah, if he still defends that we lost our hope in honest review
i just picked up the s25 ultra and my husband got the s25 edge. the edge is SO NICE. idk what i was thinking getting the s25 ultra because its literally so heavy. i mean the weight does keep me off my phone more tbh lol but i was using my husbands new edge and that thing is like holding a feather! i hardly noticed the weight in my hand. and it has all the same features as the ultra for the most part. im not a photographer or anything so the cameras dont mean much to me. as long as i can take a cute pic of my kids, thats all i need. the edges battery life is perfectly fine btw! my husband uses it all day at work for 12 hours everyday and he comes home with 50% battery still so he can just get home, sit his ass down and scroll until bedtime 🤣 its totally underrated and he gives it 5 out of 5 stars. we say all this coming from the S20 FE phones. this was our upgrade after 5 years with the FE - which was also a GREAT phone.
my hands have been cramping bc of these 6.7+ inch phones and i wanna go back to sub 6' displays and out the silicon carbon batteries cuz i actually be able to OH it
I feel like this is what they were going for, but failed to do so in the end, so they put in a regular li-ion in there and called it a day. Might also explain the delay in the release.
@dexterie Same, but the battery life is a concern. I would probably get it at BesBuy and try it a week since they have an easy 15 day return. If it does better than my S22+ I would keep it.
@66racer I work from home 4 out of 5 days. I always have a charger nearby. Either at home, office or in the car. I seldom need to be “off the grid”. When those moments come (a hike, a trip, etc), I can bring a powerbank along (which I already do anyway). I’m not such a power user.
I’m a customer. I want compact phone that can last for 2 days. And i don’t want to pay more than 500€ for that. Oh, and i don’t care about processor and cameras if they are on iPhone 12 level.
I just bought it … it’s s freaking great… so thin.. I haven’t edited a RUclips video on it yet still waiting for my case so still rocking the iphone pro
Exactly. I feel like the tech community thinks it speaks for most people who just buy a phone that feels good and gets the job done. The tech community thought the iPhone 16e was an awful value proposition and it has far exceeded expectations in sales. By "nobody asked", the tech community doesn't realize it means "no one in the tech community asked for this".
@aaronnnm I don't see how the 16e relates to this. I mean, what Marques said makes sense but the 16e was just straight up worse compared with its same line. More than anything I think that one is more like... "apple products" than people outside the tech sphere.
@CryoStrix I refer to the 16e in the sense that the tech community thinks its value proposition sucks (reasonably) but that doesn't necessarily mean it will flop sales-wise. Companies are profit motivated and so they will make products more informed buyers think sucks as long as the larger, less informed market is willing to buy it. I'd say it's not just Apple products since it remains true with cars and other industries too. Car enthusiasts oftentimes want loud, powerful cars with spoilers but the reason the best selling vehicles are quiet, efficient SUVs is because the desires of enthusiasts oftentimes differ from that of the masses. I'm just pointing out that enthusiasts often fail to recognize that and project their opinion onto the masses.
people say they do but noone will buy a "rugged" designed phone some people do buy the button styled ones but surely almost noone will buy a huge smartphone @TescoRoadman
It's been almost 4 months now and i totally in love my s25edge. I am again on this video to find out if I missed something. The more I use this phone, the more surprises it throws to me.
Mee too same really nice phone and no regret . I don't have battery issue also because I m much busy in my work whole day .or even if I free why cannot charge 2nd time in the evening for just 30 mints . I don't like bulky phones that's why I buy s25 edge
It seems that Samsung designed this phone specifically for those who have plenty of money and don't know where to spend it, Samsung found the perfect solution for them!
I wish phone companies would stop trying to makes phones as thin as possible with massive camera bumps, just make them the same thickness as the camera or a little thinner then they could have a bigger battery and/or better cooling
@MasDouc That's where I'm at too. I have an S22 ultra currently but rarely make use of the advanced camera features that come with the pro cameras. I would gladly trade that for a solid single camera and bigger battery. I like the performance of the ultra series but don't need 4 different cameras, sadly I'm not aware of a phone that fills that niche
It's a lack of creativity. "Welp, we don't know what else to do. Bring me a stat sheet for one of our phones and we'll just change a number on it - ok, this one's 8.6mm deep? Well, let's make our new one 8.4."
@Urban_Goose There were already thinner phones more than 10 years ago. Just to name one, Allview X2 Soul, which was exactly 5.6mm by that time. (i'm pretty sure, the same phone was released by numerous other brand names aswell)
Hey Marques great video just want to say I am one of those people that wanted a thin light phone but with big screen, it reminds me so much of Galaxy Alpha its awesome
Fico muito feliz em saber que agora tem a opção de assistir dublado, sou do Brasil e acompanho o Marques há 10 anos, e mesmo não entendendo muito a língua inglesa, todo o trabalho de edição e conteúdo, é maravilhoso! Sucesso pra ti e vou continuar acompanhando.
I think this phone is specifically made for Samsung exec's spreadsheet to say they have a thin one in their product line to collect that bonus. Its been Samsung's way for years, trying everything on the wall and see what sticks with little or no market testing.
If they want to experiment, they should bring back the Active and Zoom series like they had in around the S5 series. I will love a s25 Active with the same specs as the original just more thicker and rugged.
I think they are simply doing what Apple is in this case. Solid strategy if you ask me, there's gonna be demand for thin Androids for sure once 17 Air is released.
Bravo druže odlično je 👌 bravo za kanal svidja mi se i još više je impresivno 20k pratioci tvoj posao koji radiš je fenomenalan nadam se da će brzo biti i 30k zaslužuješ!!! svaka čast to je za poštovanje 👌👍 🍺
The 17 air will more than likely use the c1 modem and in my testing, it helps with battery life, I’m maxing out around the same screen on time as a pro max user, so I have high hopes 😂
As one of the lots of people out there who rarely unplug their phones, battery size is the least important feature, we want something lightweight but no compromise on screen size
thats always how it works, its been explained by them a ton of times. theres this legal shit they have to do called an embargo. none of them can drop a video until the date/time the manufacturer says
The USB-C port isn't off centre though? Even if there was no SIM card slot, the charging port would still be in the centre lol. They'd probably just replace it with a fake speaker
I love how the phone looks in hand! But as you said, once the case is on, who cares? I’d rather see a solid battery life than the thinnest phone every year.
Cases are actually better for thinner phones, once u put the case on, the phone will be the same size as s25 or ultra... Thicker phones become a brick with case or
This is for me! Always loved how thin the flip felt unfolded. Love the plus sized screen but didn't want the bulk. Loved the ultra main camera but didn't want the bulk or other features. I totally get it. And I want one ❤
For some reason RUclips decided to show this video in Portuguese this time (I live in Brazil but always watch in English) Anyways... I've seen dubbed videos but this is surreal... I might be tripping but it's your voice. Is this new on RUclips?
Battery life is one of the most important things a phone can have. No matter how good or bad the specs are, you still need a decent battery to be able to use them.
Where do you live that if you're not 5 feet from a plug. On top of that if your job is getting on your phone 24,7 then you have a plug on deck . I want this phone cuz I hate having a brick in my pocket
@VasiParam Your phone still drains battery even when you don't use it. If you only use your phone for essential calls and stuff, you don't need a $1000+ phone.
Hey, Marq, been a while, good to see you here! I love the stylish sleek phone, but not having an sd_card slot is a deal breaker for me. Lol, that's why I'm still rocking my Note 10+ I'm happy with it 😊 I used to have the Note 20 Ultra but I broke it! 😋
I've had my PANTS FALL DOWN with my S24 Ultra with a $70 otter box case on it in my pocket! 😂 I regret getting such a heavy big phone when I have to pocket it and carry this bish around. It's a huge phone!! I love it for watching videos and scrolling through screens. But damn, it's a trade-off. I might get a thin case...
As manufacturers make their phones thinner and thinner, we’ll need thicker cases to protect them from bending. I imagine case manufacturers such as otterbox will be selling a lot of their most heavy duty cases such as the defender series cases for the S25 edge and iPhone 17 Air.
I don't think the average person will care if it has less performance, cameras, or a worse screen. But they will notice battery life. Interested to see how it performs there.
@faraibeeReally? Phones are way too light wtf? Feels like im holding a piece of paper when I hold these phones now, they need to make them heavier if anything.
Should be called S25 Slim, it makes more sense and it might sell well. If it's called S25 Edge, than it should only have the curved screen, and there are people who still love curved screen phones.
I thought the actual Edge was back 😔 I saw a Motorola at Best Buy that is doing one like that, and due i almost bought it on the spot. Something so, elegant about such a simple and subtle choice
I could care less about how thin it is. Never once have I thought my current phone was too thick. The small battery makes it a no for me. 3900 battery is laughable
You do realize there are other smaller devices with less capacity? Like for instance the only slightly smaller iPhone 16 Pro has a capacity under 3600mAh because not everyone prioritizes that. For casual users this will more than suffice.
@ThinkofsomethingnewI'm just pointing out that there are other flagships with under 4000mAh capacity that DON'T prioritize battery life because they aren't at the top of the lineup.
Instead of curved screen they brought back the 3900 mAh phone in 2025 when other companies are coming with 7000 mAh to -8000 mAh. Realme just demonstrated a 10000 mAh phone with 8.4mm thickness.
@IoLimme yeah everything is garbage in realme compared to samsung s series but still less battery is less battery and realme wins there easily. That's a big con of this smartphone
@liamplqys I guess it would help make the phone easier to pick up when laid flat on a table? I at least wish they'd use the horizontal camera bump on the back that allows the phone to sit flat without rocking. If you're gonna have a bump, make it functional.
I think it’ll be fine. Galaxy tab ultra survived the bend test while it is super thin and aluminum. Samsung traditionally makes their phones like tanks for durability.
@Leon_the_Amateur the air has been rumored since last year. Samsung most likely dropped this first so they could get this exact reaction from you. Be honest, when did you first hear of this phone
@0LLy796It was showcased in January during WWDC 2025. Also, do you think they just cobble parts together into a new phone in a few months? Development takes time man, especially for new form factors.
One like and ill do it.
First
“Let’s start bendin’ Zack” -Bender from Futurama actual quote
DO ITTTT
Do it Jerry 💻
ooooooohhhhh..he is here!!
People say nobody wants thin phones until the iPhone 17 Air comes out 🤣
apple will definitely raise the bar for that. and it’s the next phone I’m gonna get
@catchmeplsraise the bar in what? 1 camera less baterry and a higher price, it will be the same trash xd
@leonardoprada1369 bro the comment you replied to is probably a kid XD
Battery management on iphone is better, I use both.
Apple does hell lotta marketing of features nobody wants at price nobody can afford
S25 Edge: Nobody asked!
iPhone Air: Insanely thin!
Bias asf
😂😂😂
He will glaze Apple as soon as it comes out.
He’s criticized both androids and iphones fym?
Lmao the fact this is too real
To be honest I think its a good sign they're still trying things out instead of saying "thats it, we figured it out"
YES! It's like tech reviews seem to forget that an insane amount of capital is put up to try something out. Give em credit for putting something out there, letting people actually use it and keep improving along the way. If they waited for perfect, we'd never see anything new.
Despite his completely biased review that nobody asked for i think it makes sense to make a small phone with the big 200mp camera. The ultra phones are just huge that not everyone wants this brick in their pocket. Also, personally I don't see much of a need for a case with a screen protector. Like yeah the aluminum on the sides will get a little chipped after a while but it doesn't bother me not worth adding a bunch of size to the phone
Figured what out? It’s the same generic phone.
Trying out what? Making a thing phone to beat Apple to the punch is just copying homework
@gfyGoogle And Apple also copies with their upcoming foldables.
This is the exact definition of charging more for less with a fancy marketing.
Except if 'more' to you is having a thin and light phone 🤷♂️
I haven't used a Samsung device in probably 10-12 years, but boy is this thing great to look at and probably to hold. Your subjective needs and wants aren't everyone else's. Samsung didn't just make this phone for fun... they're a business; they identified that there was a desire for it.

Silicon carbon batteries exist
Samsung and Apple: let’s pretend we didn’t see that
Its probably coming in the S26 series
I hope OPPO will release their version of this "air/edge" shenanigans with 4500+ battery just sh those two bs giants.
While it would be good for consumers, it would be a stupid business decision for them to waste margin on improving features. They don't care about global market, only USA and Canada where the Government will ban any competition. They gave up the market in China, Russia, India, UAE, Iran without even trying. They're clearly content with lower risk, safer investment in US regulators.
For them no good enough yet.. It does not last long enough no more than 4 to 5 years.
Its basically a thin S25+ with a horrible battery size. No thanks Samsung.
I would have loved a thin phone if they used silicon carbon battery to maintain the same battery as the other models 🙂
exactly, they missed the one feature essential to thin phones - new type of battery, now it's almost pointless and it's sad
They left room to do this next year once the rest of the line-up will also use silicon carbon batteries
I thought the edge was their test run for silicon carbon batteries. That was the only thing that made sense to me about this phone 😅
i wish they’d use silicon carbon batteries in normal thickness phones, heck you could get 7k or something ridiculous
Ya. What a missed opportunity.
Marques when Samsung makes a thin phone : Nobody asked !
Also marques when apple makes a thin phone : Beauty is pain
this better be the same reaction you're going to have for the 17 Air
nah he's an apple fanboy even tho he tries to pretend he's fair.
if hes an apple fan, he's going to love that iphone even if it is trash as the 16e
Him and MWTB. MWTB is also on the, idk what samsung was thinking side of the coin. @akramdogha3778
nah we already done thin for like from 2013, we just going through cycle again but this time if that battery just that small i bet it will shit even if iphone made it. and bet even iphone 13 will be smaller like 2500-3000 mah, if he still defends that we lost our hope in honest review
Every MKBHD Android video: "HE'S AN APPLE FANBOY!!!!"
Every MKBHD Apple video: "HE'S AN ANDROID FANBOY!!!!!"
Y'all so dumb.
Mrwhosetheboss titled it "who asked" and MKBHD answered, "nobody asked"😂😂
they most definitely planned that
And I watched “who asked” before getting to the answer “nobody asked”
i came down here to look for this comment🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Flossy Carter said 'who asked' as well.
Mrwhosetheboss: Who asked ?
MKBD: 🗣️ Nobody Asked
But he'll benefit from all the views he's getting. Obviously, he uses the title as click bait.
@LakeNelli watched both and all their videos 😂 including dozens of other reviewers in single day
i just picked up the s25 ultra and my husband got the s25 edge. the edge is SO NICE. idk what i was thinking getting the s25 ultra because its literally so heavy. i mean the weight does keep me off my phone more tbh lol but i was using my husbands new edge and that thing is like holding a feather! i hardly noticed the weight in my hand. and it has all the same features as the ultra for the most part. im not a photographer or anything so the cameras dont mean much to me. as long as i can take a cute pic of my kids, thats all i need. the edges battery life is perfectly fine btw! my husband uses it all day at work for 12 hours everyday and he comes home with 50% battery still so he can just get home, sit his ass down and scroll until bedtime 🤣 its totally underrated and he gives it 5 out of 5 stars. we say all this coming from the S20 FE phones. this was our upgrade after 5 years with the FE - which was also a GREAT phone.
Instead of thin phones make small phones!
This.
Bro no one buys small phones everyone asks once one is made is sells poorly and it gets cancelled that what has happened every time
my hands have been cramping bc of these 6.7+ inch phones and i wanna go back to sub 6' displays and out the silicon carbon batteries cuz i actually be able to OH it
They tried that already lol no one bought that either
Using a small phone right now I feel
If Samsung made the S25 Edge a bezel-less display phone and has a silicon carbon battery, then the name ‘Edge’ would make sense.
they dont have access to that technology
Silicon carbon, not silicon carbide
I feel like this is what they were going for, but failed to do so in the end, so they put in a regular li-ion in there and called it a day. Might also explain the delay in the release.
*does the iphone air have air lol? 😂😂that doesn't make any sense too😂 it's just a name yall weird af
@blgDemonit's carbide bud
They'll do anything except what customers want. Fascinating
and what customers want? Customers clearly don't want small phones )
Well… I’m a customer and I want a slimmer and lighter phone. Something that feels modern.
@dexterie Same, but the battery life is a concern. I would probably get it at BesBuy and try it a week since they have an easy 15 day return. If it does better than my S22+ I would keep it.
@66racer I work from home 4 out of 5 days. I always have a charger nearby. Either at home, office or in the car. I seldom need to be “off the grid”. When those moments come (a hike, a trip, etc), I can bring a powerbank along (which I already do anyway). I’m not such a power user.

I just bought it … it’s s freaking great… so thin.. I haven’t edited a RUclips video on it yet still waiting for my case so still rocking the iphone pro
can't wait for this trend to last exactly 1 generation
😂😂👍
What trend? You mean the thinner and thinner phones that's continued for over a decade?
@Chrisratata the trend of making "the thin phone". phones have actually gotten thicker during the past decade lol
I'd take this over the ultra. I like the thin form factor.
Not at the expense of specs,dude. @Chrisratata
6:50 bro described 90% of market
Real
Exactly. I feel like the tech community thinks it speaks for most people who just buy a phone that feels good and gets the job done. The tech community thought the iPhone 16e was an awful value proposition and it has far exceeded expectations in sales. By "nobody asked", the tech community doesn't realize it means "no one in the tech community asked for this".
@aaronnnm I don't see how the 16e relates to this. I mean, what Marques said makes sense but the 16e was just straight up worse compared with its same line. More than anything I think that one is more like... "apple products" than people outside the tech sphere.
yeah they're fine either making enough profits with 90% audience, they just don't mind 10% tech savvy
@CryoStrix I refer to the 16e in the sense that the tech community thinks its value proposition sucks (reasonably) but that doesn't necessarily mean it will flop sales-wise. Companies are profit motivated and so they will make products more informed buyers think sucks as long as the larger, less informed market is willing to buy it.
I'd say it's not just Apple products since it remains true with cars and other industries too. Car enthusiasts oftentimes want loud, powerful cars with spoilers but the reason the best selling vehicles are quiet, efficient SUVs is because the desires of enthusiasts oftentimes differ from that of the masses. I'm just pointing out that enthusiasts often fail to recognize that and project their opinion onto the masses.
Everyone: We want a HUGEEE brick phone that has a battery so BIG it'll last the whole damn week!
Samsung: Hold my beer...
Literally nobody is asking for a brick phone Tf you talking about bot 😂😂😂
Energizer tried that and failed
People say one thing and they buy another.
The big bulky phone with large battery don't sell, that's why they keep going for thin and sleek phone.
@lanes-world Not that big obviously
people say they do but noone will buy a "rugged" designed phone
some people do buy the button styled ones but surely almost noone will buy a huge smartphone @TescoRoadman
It's been almost 4 months now and i totally in love my s25edge.
I am again on this video to find out if I missed something.
The more I use this phone, the more surprises it throws to me.
Can you confirm is the snapdragon has 7 or 8 core? He is the first reviewer I see that never talk about chip
Mee too same really nice phone and no regret . I don't have battery issue also because I m much busy in my work whole day .or even if I free why cannot charge 2nd time in the evening for just 30 mints . I don't like bulky phones that's why I buy s25 edge
chip 8 elite
It seems that Samsung designed this phone specifically for those who have plenty of money and don't know where to spend it, Samsung found the perfect solution for them!
Yeah that's why some ppl go to college, get trades, live their own dam life and buy wtf they want than listen to what ppl think.
@megatron3yep
😂
Crazy level of copium 😂@megatron3
imagine buying this phone and putting a case on it 🤣
Good old days when the edge had rounded screens
I wish phone companies would stop trying to makes phones as thin as possible with massive camera bumps, just make them the same thickness as the camera or a little thinner then they could have a bigger battery and/or better cooling
Get a Xiaomi, Honor or a Realme phone. They have 7000+ mah batteries.
I feel like I'm the only one who would buy a phone with no camera at all
yep. my dream phone.
@MasDouc That's where I'm at too. I have an S22 ultra currently but rarely make use of the advanced camera features that come with the pro cameras. I would gladly trade that for a solid single camera and bigger battery. I like the performance of the ultra series but don't need 4 different cameras, sadly I'm not aware of a phone that fills that niche
It's a lack of creativity. "Welp, we don't know what else to do. Bring me a stat sheet for one of our phones and we'll just change a number on it - ok, this one's 8.6mm deep? Well, let's make our new one 8.4."
What a lot of us want is the micro SD card memory slot expansion to come back😅
Nope. Can't have you having 1 TB storage
That's not happening any time soon. If they give you that, then how can they push you to buy more of their (apple's or google's) cloud storage?!
No way this is more technologically advanced than a foldable phone. It's basically foldable phones' component in a slab phone
There are also budget phones that are nearly just as thin with 5000mah+ batteries
Exactly
Foldable phones do have 2x the width, slab phones dont have that extra room
@Urban_Goose There were already thinner phones more than 10 years ago. Just to name one, Allview X2 Soul, which was exactly 5.6mm by that time. (i'm pretty sure, the same phone was released by numerous other brand names aswell)
Foldable with PLASTIC scratch-able screens are huge pointless waste of money.
Thought it was going to have a curved screen with it being called the edge.
S25 edge i got it for 240 cad now thats a steal deal
Now, waiting for Zack's JRE bend test
@VasiParam 😅😂😂
0:26 JerryRigEverything will easily snap it in half during the bend test
My immediate 2nd thought, the 1st being "why call it edge?"
jerry is an angry lib crybaby
@zukacs?
@OzzieStorm because it's thin like the edge of a blade
This comment is wild !! What made you come to that conclusion geez check yourself bro, ease of the hate juice @zukacs
Hey Marques great video just want to say I am one of those people that wanted a thin light phone but with big screen, it reminds me so much of Galaxy Alpha its awesome
Fico muito feliz em saber que agora tem a opção de assistir dublado, sou do Brasil e acompanho o Marques há 10 anos, e mesmo não entendendo muito a língua inglesa, todo o trabalho de edição e conteúdo, é maravilhoso! Sucesso pra ti e vou continuar acompanhando.
I think this phone is specifically made for Samsung exec's spreadsheet to say they have a thin one in their product line to collect that bonus. Its been Samsung's way for years, trying everything on the wall and see what sticks with little or no market testing.
If they want to experiment, they should bring back the Active and Zoom series like they had in around the S5 series. I will love a s25 Active with the same specs as the original just more thicker and rugged.
In this thread alone, multiple people have shown interest in this form factor. Guess what, people exist that will buy this phone
It is.
They know its not gonna sell much, it just to put down the flag of thin and light phone.
@1EdgarA And physical buttons! I miss my active phones. (and the sd slots and headphone jacks)
I think they are simply doing what Apple is in this case. Solid strategy if you ask me, there's gonna be demand for thin Androids for sure once 17 Air is released.
Love all the b-roll shots showing the phone in different angles and environments
Time to go back to small thicc phones.
Bravo druže odlično je 👌 bravo za kanal svidja mi se i još više je impresivno 20k pratioci tvoj posao koji radiš je fenomenalan nadam se da će brzo biti i 30k zaslužuješ!!! svaka čast to je za poštovanje 👌👍 🍺
this better be the same reaction you're going to have for the 17 Air. Who joined Xaitonk?
TannaBeanif you have to ask, it’s bots, and it’s a scam
OMG the spam in the comments is awful
The 17 air will more than likely use the c1 modem and in my testing, it helps with battery life, I’m maxing out around the same screen on time as a pro max user, so I have high hopes 😂
Who's Xaitonk?
To anyone who is thinking about buying Edge, buy S25+. 1,5mm difference in thickness is not worth giving up 1000mAh battery and one camera lens.
As one of the lots of people out there who rarely unplug their phones, battery size is the least important feature, we want something lightweight but no compromise on screen size
.....and paying more for it.
Actually, it could lose 1-2 more cameras, no problem. And maybe then gain that battery? That would be nice.
20% lighter - that you will definitely feel
I agree, bad battery life is something that makes you hate your phone on long term, no matter how good the rest is
Bro the embargo just lifted and I got like a hundred notifications of the s25 review from different RUclipsrs 😭😂
Subscribed to too many channels
thats always how it works, its been explained by them a ton of times. theres this legal shit they have to do called an embargo. none of them can drop a video until the date/time the manufacturer says
Super good information. So detailed, exactly the info I was looking for. Curious about the battery now.
5:23 So they can say that they did it before apple, and that means a lot to samsung 😂😂😂
Just the bait based on leaks
It was hilarious 😂
I mean it's not hard to do something before apple. Lol 🤷🏿♂️
And it will still be better than apple
Motorola did it waaaay before any of them. The moto z was only 5.19mm thin.
I was shocked when it cost 1100 for this S25 Edge, even though it did seem like a midrange phone between the S25 Plus and Ultra
People need to stop buying stuff.
get s23 ultra or s24 ultra. No need for any more.
People need to stop buying Samsung
finally got a video from MKBHD
I hope you can review the Huawei MateBook Fold :)
3:52 - knowing that USB-C port is off center would've made me crazy every time I've put it on charge
Ocd much?😂
I wouldn't have minded if it had a headphone jack on the other side
The USB-C port isn't off centre though? Even if there was no SIM card slot, the charging port would still be in the centre lol. They'd probably just replace it with a fake speaker
Basically every Samsung phone has the USB port off centre. It bugs me a bit too.
@jamooo I think she might be talking about vertically off center not horizontally which yeah it actually is. Weird.
I love how the phone looks in hand! But as you said, once the case is on, who cares? I’d rather see a solid battery life than the thinnest phone every year.
Don't put case on.
@ArseniyKruglov I drop my phone way too often, and a case is non-negotiable for me 😄
Bet these new phones, iPhone Air also, sell like hotcakes. People want something different. The phone market has been stale for years now
Cases are actually better for thinner phones, once u put the case on, the phone will be the same size as s25 or ultra... Thicker phones become a brick with case or
This is for me! Always loved how thin the flip felt unfolded. Love the plus sized screen but didn't want the bulk. Loved the ultra main camera but didn't want the bulk or other features. I totally get it. And I want one ❤
Same here my exact kind of phone.. 😊
Me toooo
For some reason RUclips decided to show this video in Portuguese this time (I live in Brazil but always watch in English) Anyways... I've seen dubbed videos but this is surreal... I might be tripping but it's your voice. Is this new on RUclips?
s25 edge, 5.8mm?! Iphone air, "ultra thin"?! jerry is gonna be interested.
1:17 Silent Blue by Apple. 😂
Some of us love the physical sim card and I hope Samsung never gets rid of it 3:42
Some? Most of the people in the world use physical sim card
@IVMZR I'm talking about people in the US 🤷🏻
Watching on an S22 thinking still no need to upgrade
Mrwhosetheboss - "Who asked"
MKBHD - "Nobody asked"
It'll be interesting to see what they will say about the iphone air 🤔
@Loading...440 they'll say, "Apple has done it. They managed to make a pro phone that's lightweight and comfortable. Easy recommendation."
6:06 I never thought I am one of rare ppl lol. But anyway I love this S25 edge. Exactly what I was waiting for except the battery life 😂😂
3900 mah battery with 25w charging, is giving 2019
yes but the efficiency of this SoC’s is way ahead.
@Karakuri-s6ycharging speed?
Aha, but the price is giving 2025 at least.
Look how thin it is cant wait for battery tech to catch up to ao we can fully go back to thin and light phones and not heavy bricks 😂
Always negative judgement 😢
why does the back look like an iphone 16 though?
5:00 I agree completely. Slightly thicker, more battery, and get rid of the raised cameras. I HATE those personally.
Battery life is one of the most important things a phone can have. No matter how good or bad the specs are, you still need a decent battery to be able to use them.
Where do you live that if you're not 5 feet from a plug. On top of that if your job is getting on your phone 24,7 then you have a plug on deck . I want this phone cuz I hate having a brick in my pocket
It's a shame Samsung didn't use silicon carbon batteries
@pixels_per_inch next year's S26s has it
@DOPExPIRATE What about when you're walking on the streets? Or out for some fun? People don't just live between work and home...
@VasiParam Your phone still drains battery even when you don't use it. If you only use your phone for essential calls and stuff, you don't need a $1000+ phone.
Over time when the battery health declines, you'll see how bad the battery gets.
I really hope the SIM card tray stays, I really need it where I live.
The true OGs remember the Note, S6, and S7 edge
3:08 dust collector
Have you ever used an iPhone?
Congratulations Samsung for successfully creating a phone to cater to 4 person, with their latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
S25 Ewaste
Are they killing of FE?! Feels like it.
I'm waiting on the race for tech companies to build the world's THICCEST phones. 😉
Energizer are rubbing their hands
People didn't ask for thinner phones🗣🗣 4:33
Let's see what he has to say about the Apple Air.
@ak59468 flop like the mini probably
@ak59468let’s be real if apple released this with such a tiny battery the android glazers would be mocking it
Id like a thinner phone but would prefer a thicker phone with no camera bump/island
@ak59468 depend on the battery capacity i guess
Been watching since COVID .....so mad respect....pliz drop a video for 20 million 🎉❤
I'd like to have a slim phone, but not at the expense of a smaller battery.
Srsly what is edge about it
That one person is going to love this phone
@JerryRigEverything
🤭
Consumers: We want a smaller phone
Phone Makers: We got you..... a thinner phone
The “consumers” are the loud 3% of people that loved the iPhone mini and nobody else
Exactly @russian-canadianfamily6895
@russian-canadianfamily6895 so how many bought thin phones? 0.03%? All 6 of them will love this!
Hey, Marq, been a while, good to see you here! I love the stylish sleek phone, but not having an sd_card slot is a deal breaker for me. Lol, that's why I'm still rocking my Note 10+ I'm happy with it 😊 I used to have the Note 20 Ultra but I broke it! 😋
Mrwhosetheboss Thumbnail: "Who Asked?"
MKBHD Title: "Nobody Asked!"
😂😂😂
5:58 the heck is that in the corner 🫥
The hands??
It’s someone’s hand that’s out of focus in the background
Antenna?
It's either the millimetre wave 5G antenna, or Ultra wideband. More prominent in the US than ROW.
0:26 That one guy is Zack, and he's gonna snap it in half during the bend test.
If you need a bigger battery you need to go outside more and put the phone down
Classic MKBHD video, love it❤
I've had my PANTS FALL DOWN with my S24 Ultra with a $70 otter box case on it in my pocket! 😂
I regret getting such a heavy big phone when I have to pocket it and carry this bish around. It's a huge phone!!
I love it for watching videos and scrolling through screens. But damn, it's a trade-off.
I might get a thin case...
Nobody asked for an Apple Iphone Air either right Marques? Looking forward to your harsh review on another crapple Iphone.
Android nerds always kinda make me laugh.
Yeah, that person passed away 3 months ago. He was watching your channel while driving at 80 miles an hour on I65 near Nashville, TN.
As manufacturers make their phones thinner and thinner, we’ll need thicker cases to protect them from bending. I imagine case manufacturers such as otterbox will be selling a lot of their most heavy duty cases such as the defender series cases for the S25 edge and iPhone 17 Air.
Was 2 mins into the livestream but switched to this 😂
A lot of non-techy people value form over function. I think we underestimate how popular these phones will be
I'm tech savvy but I hate how heavy phones have gotten strains on my hands if I use it for a prolonged period of time
I don't think the average person will care if it has less performance, cameras, or a worse screen. But they will notice battery life. Interested to see how it performs there.
@faraibeeReally? Phones are way too light wtf? Feels like im holding a piece of paper when I hold these phones now, they need to make them heavier if anything.
Beautiful phone. I'm glad to see Edge version of S-series come back, but wanted it to have more large battery.
1:32 😢😢 it has no edge the 25 edge why the naming
Just using the legacy name to sell
Maybe because it's "cutting edge" technology 🤷
Should be called S25 Slim, it makes more sense and it might sell well. If it's called S25 Edge, than it should only have the curved screen, and there are people who still love curved screen phones.
So thin, but like a knife edge
Because it has “Cutting Edge” Display
I do remember when smart phones where still new, I would choose the smaller one as long as it had all the same features.
Curved screen, slim form factor are such a curse to phones
Explain yourself
Edging on the edge would go crazy 🤯
I thought the actual Edge was back 😔
I saw a Motorola at Best Buy that is doing one like that, and due i almost bought it on the spot. Something so, elegant about such a simple and subtle choice
We don't want slim phones, we want better battery instead.
For real. Imagine the S25 Ultra but it was as thick as its cameras. It could have like a 7-9000 mah battery in there. Instant buy!
This phone for stupid my friend
Leave it people until samsung learn
We want Energizer phone
“You don’t want slim phones, you want better battery instead”.
@EcoAcid Poco unveiled a 10 000 mah, 320W charge phone recently and it's not thicc.
I could care less about how thin it is. Never once have I thought my current phone was too thick. The small battery makes it a no for me. 3900 battery is laughable
i guess they're aiming at the 0.1% who give a shit about how thin it is and not battery. Who would pick this over battery life!?
@Thinkofsomethingnew A lot of people are tired of having a heavy and thick phone. In this day and age most people are near a charging source.
You do realize there are other smaller devices with less capacity? Like for instance the only slightly smaller iPhone 16 Pro has a capacity under 3600mAh because not everyone prioritizes that. For casual users this will more than suffice.
@LRYoung.17 what do you mean?
@ThinkofsomethingnewI'm just pointing out that there are other flagships with under 4000mAh capacity that DON'T prioritize battery life because they aren't at the top of the lineup.
insane intro, perfect and fits the theme of the video.
Instead of curved screen they brought back the 3900 mAh phone in 2025 when other companies are coming with 7000 mAh to -8000 mAh.
Realme just demonstrated a 10000 mAh phone with 8.4mm thickness.
With garbage software
They had to steal the apple rumors and make it faster, there's no other explanation
@IoLimme yeah everything is garbage in realme compared to samsung s series but still less battery is less battery and realme wins there easily. That's a big con of this smartphone
@IoLimmestill better than not getting android updates for months and delaying oneui 7
What realme phone has a 10k mAh battery?
I think having bumpy cameras defeats the whole purpose of a super thin phone. Imo it would look insanely cooler if it was completely flat.
exactly, whats the point of a thin phone if the camera sticks out enough that its as thick as a any other smartphone
Agreed
@unkn3rrorthey mean to make the phone thicker so it covers the camera bump, not make the camera bump smaller.
@liamplqys I guess it would help make the phone easier to pick up when laid flat on a table?
I at least wish they'd use the horizontal camera bump on the back that allows the phone to sit flat without rocking. If you're gonna have a bump, make it functional.
You have a point.
iPhone: Airing 😊
*Samsung: Edging 💀*
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Google: 'A'ceing
Patiently waiting for Zack to get his hands on this.
Had the same thought. 😅
I think it’ll be fine. Galaxy tab ultra survived the bend test while it is super thin and aluminum. Samsung traditionally makes their phones like tanks for durability.
Love the video. Great perspective for the ideal customer type!
You're almost at 20M 🎉
Bravo MKBHD. Well deserved 🎉
This phone is really just Samsung’s response to Apple’s iPhone Air that’s coming soon. Just one of those things where they have to one up apple
yeah a exact copy lmao
@PinkBeanieTradez How is it a copy of something that hasn’t even been announced yet?
@Leon_the_Amateur the air has been rumored since last year. Samsung most likely dropped this first so they could get this exact reaction from you. Be honest, when did you first hear of this phone
@0LLy796It was showcased in January during WWDC 2025. Also, do you think they just cobble parts together into a new phone in a few months? Development takes time man, especially for new form factors.
why don't use silicon carbon battery 2:14
Insanely innovative for the American market, my friend.
I'm noticing a pattern with "Nobody asked"
Apple must of sent out a memo. When Apple comes out with their thin phone, will they say the same thing?
