Samsung Galaxy S22 Edge Hand-on: Low Smartphone, More Components
Afterwards Teasing us for monthsSamsung officially revealed Galaxy S22 edge. Just 5.8 millimeters (0.22 inches) thick, which is a Sleemist member of the S25 family – and its thin smartphone Never. It is now available to the preorder and will start from 1,100 on May 30.
Samsung says that the S25 Edge is “unlocking new growth to the mobile industry” – and it is easy to see another Samsung phone as a way to thin the phone (very easy!) You have a software. It is not ultra, no new fold. However, this is a new direction for Samsung’s main series.
What is the difference between S25 and S25 edge?
Surprise! The edge is thin. S25 measures less than the edge Base S22It is thinner of 6.4 mm (0.25 inches), almost the same. In fact, there is only one gram difference between the two, although the S25 Edge S25 packs a 6.7-inch screen much larger than the 6.2-inch.
And the boy, can you say the difference? When is the most contemporary comparison I can do Apple The Titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro was converted. Speck sheets and numbers are damned: I can realize how light the device is. Although I have a much larger screen than my iPhone 16 Pro, the thin S22 edge seemed to be a premium yet. I slid it into my pants pocket easily, because, how do I assess the largest sales position for Samsung’s latest phone?
The thing is: device thickness is not a problem for me with flagship smartphones – this is a screen size. Base Galaxy S22 (or Pixel 9 Pro) touched a sweet place for my hands. While this new S25 edge is easy to hold than similar-sized phones, the 6.7-inch screen is not for everyone.
Like most phones (Pixel 9A is an interesting outlier), the S25 edge still has a significant camera unit, otherwise clean hardware lines. The dual-camera setup protrudes good 4.5 mm (0.17 inches), although it has the same 200-megapixel sensor packed in the Princier S22 ultra.
Samsung says it has been re-engineering to ensure that the camera unit will fit on the edge, but it still sticks. Before I maintain the phone, I thought it would be a new phone strangely imbalance and top-heavy. What Samsung did to set up component furniture inside the S25 edge it worked. The phone does not seem defective or fragile, but like the other premium flagship smartphone.
Galaxy S22 Edge Cameras
In addition to the primary 200MP sensor, Samsung has a 12MP Ultravide camera with auto focus and macro photography support. And… that’s it. There is no dedicated telephoto system, which usually takes more space . Two lenses are stacked in vertical alignment, which I think it looks clean than the camera carcopius found on other devices – but many people lose the versatile intellect of the real telephoto. Certainly, you can zoom in digitally by cultivating that huge 200MP sensor, but this is not the same.
The S25 Edge can capture up to the 8K video and packs all other photography tricks you expect on an S-Series phone like night photography and laseless zoom. Of course, it also maintains post-capture AI tools such as generate editing (removing photobars and unwanted items from your photos) and audio eraser to clean the video in a loud environment.
AI – or Galaxy AI – You are getting the same features seen in the Base S25 and S25 Ultra, which gains power by the custom Snapdragon 8 elite chip and 12GB of RAM. Those AI tools now have a brief and now bar, which takes context evidence from your apps and smartphone, to create a plan for your day, the atmosphere and more will remind you. The consolidation of Google’s Gemini’s Samsung is now Gemini Live, so you can press your camera feed to ask questions about your photos and things in your surroundings.
It is also possible to pick up the future Gemini and Android updates: the Galaxy S22 Edge receives seven generations of OS updates and seven years of security updates.
At the media briefing, Samsung explains how the S25 Edge is cooling despite all the pack-in hardware, using a new thermal interface material (TIM) for better heat dissipation in that limited space. I don’t really have time to push the device to its limitations during briefing, so we wait for a review to predict whether it works enough.
The company had to compromise all the features of the S25 Edge into this Swit Profile. It has a 3,900 mAh battery, which is smaller to the phone with a 6.7-inch display, which is more than $ 1,000. Compared to the base S25 there is a 4,000mAh cell – a big battery on the cheap phone with a small screen. Then, there is S25+, which has a 4,900mAh battery with the same screen size as the S25 edge.
In its defense, Samsung has made significant progress on the life of his equipment battery (especially with the crop of Galaxy phones this year). The company said the video could run up to 24 hours. However, with a large screen inside the thin device, the battery life may be the largest compromise – and this is something we need to test when we review the edge properly.
The Galaxy S22 Edge will be the price 100 1,100 (£ 1,100) with 256GB storage. It will be launched in three colors called Silver, Jet Black and IC Blue on May 30. It is very difficult to make any vision NED resolutions on whether the compromises of S25 Edge are worth it for a small device footprint, but expect our review in the next few weeks.
