One could make an argument that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a slimmed-down version of the Galaxy S25+, sans the telephoto camera. After all, the two devices share the same displays and roughly the same dimensions, with the S25 Edge being considerably thinner, of course.
So it’s easy to assume that the Galaxy S25 Edge is almost identical to the S25+ with some minor improvements to the chassis that bring down the overall weight. However, a recent side-by-side teardown video reveals much more. It turns out that Samsung was able to shave off a few grams from every component, not just the frame or the back plate, for example.
The video is in Korean and follows through a complete teardown of the Galaxy S25 Edge and the S25+, and weighs every component. The video concludes with a comprehensive chart that compares various components.
Samsung was able to cut down on weight mostly from the battery and the middle frame. The battery on the Edge is 12.6 grams lighter, while the middle frame is 2.8 grams lighter, primarily due to its use of titanium instead of aluminum. Engineers also shaved off a few grams from the motherboard, camera, back panel, NFC + MST module, vibration motor, and speakers.
The weight difference between the components stacks up to 27 grams, meaning the S25 Edge is 27 grams lighter at 163 grams and also 1.5mm thinner.
