**It’s that moment for the S25 Edge, will it withstand the strain?**
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge has recently undergone a durability evaluation carried out by Zach Nelson, the host of the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel. Renowned for its ultra-slim design, the S25 Edge measures “a fraction over three-quarters” thick, making it one of Samsung’s slimmest smartphones up to now. Nevertheless, this thinness raises concerns regarding its durability.
**What you should know:**
– The Galaxy S25 Edge’s screen starts to reveal scratches at a level 6 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, with more significant scratches appearing at level 7.
– The titanium edges of the device are susceptible to scratches, particularly when in contact with sharp items like a box cutter.
– Despite its slender profile, the S25 Edge successfully completed the vital bend test, although there are worries about its water resistance after the test.
The S25 Edge’s in-display fingerprint sensor continues to work even after being scratched, and the screen showed no damage after being subjected to a flame for 30 seconds. These findings underscore the phone’s durability despite its sleek design.
**Nearly 30 days later:**
Since its debut on May 12, the Galaxy S25 Edge has been positively received for its elegant design and robust features. It features a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a 200MP wide-angle camera. However, the device’s slimness impacts battery performance, with a 3,900 mAh battery and 25W wired charging, which may not meet the needs of heavy users.
In summary, the Galaxy S25 Edge provides a premium experience in a compact format, but prospective buyers should weigh the sacrifices in battery endurance and durability.
