Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Samsung recently teased the Galaxy S25 Edge during their Galaxy S25 series launch event, revealing that it will be the thinnest Galaxy smartphone ever. This announcement has stirred up a lot of buzz, especially with the rumors surrounding Apple’s iPhone 17 Air, which has been making waves lately.
Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will also be Apple’s slimmest phone to date. Samsung’s teaser of the Galaxy S25 Edge confirms that the trend of ultra-slim smartphones is about to take off in a big way. It looks like Apple and Samsung are leading the charge, but other brands, like OnePlus and Vivo, may soon follow suit.
What’s even more exciting is that these slim phones could come with powerful batteries. Thanks to new technology like silicon-carbon batteries, smartphones can now be slim while packing batteries of up to 5,000 mAh. This means you won’t have to compromise on battery life with a thin design, which has been a common issue with slim phones in the past.

Historically, slim phones have often meant sacrifices in battery power, leaving users with poor battery backup and a frustrating experience. But with advancements in technology, that’s about to change.
If the iPhone 17 Air launches, it probably won’t come cheap. It’s expected to be a high-end device, potentially priced around Rs 1 lakh. While it may sport the same processor as the iPhone 16 series, it will likely have just one camera—though a very powerful one. The focus will likely be on computational photography, a field where Apple aims to compete with brands like Google Pixel, which has made a name for itself with impressive photography from a single rear camera. Thanks to AI, even a single-camera setup can deliver stunning portrait effects and high-quality images, which is what Apple will be aiming for with the iPhone 17 Air. After all, if the camera isn’t up to par, people won’t be willing to spend so much on a thin phone.
As for Samsung, the Galaxy S25 Edge could mark the return of the Galaxy Edge series, potentially replacing the Galaxy S FE series. It might launch at around Rs 70,000, making it more affordable than the iPhone 17 Air. The slim phone trend, despite its lack of major design breakthroughs in recent years, is definitely gaining traction.
The trend toward super-slim phones is clearly catching on, and after Samsung and Apple, other companies like OnePlus and Vivo are likely to join the race. Nobody wants to miss out on the slim phone craze.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be around 6mm thick, and the Galaxy S25 Edge might not be far behind in terms of thickness. What’s more, the Galaxy S25 Edge might even come equipped with an impressive 200-megapixel camera. It’s clear that the slim phone race is heating up, and we can’t wait to see how these devices stack up against each other in terms of both design and performance.
