Samsung released the Galaxy S25 Edge as its thinnest phone ever at 5.8mm thick. The company wanted to show off its engineering skills with the slim design. However, the thin shape creates durability problems that worry customers. Critics question whether style matters more than strength for everyday use. The phone costs more money but offers less protection against damage.
PBK Reviews tested the phone's ability to survive falls from normal heights. The screen cracked immediately when the phone hit the ground face down. Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protection failed to prevent the damage during impact. The back glass also broke after several falls onto hard surfaces. Frame dents appeared when the phone landed on its edges.
Battery life suffers because the thin case cannot hold larger power cells. Thicker phones usually survive accidents better because they have more material for protection. The S25 Edge passed bend tests but failed drop tests badly. Standard Galaxy S25 models perform much better during similar durability challenges. Buyers must choose between attractive design and practical protection.
