Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone. One of its controversial features was its ultra-thin design, which forced the manufacturer to reduce the battery capacity to 3900 mAh. This raised concerns about the device's low battery life, as even the base model of the Galaxy S25, which is smaller in size, has a 4000 mAh battery. Testing conducted by PhoneArena showed what kind of autonomy to expect from the new S25 Edge.
According to tests, the Galaxy S25 Edge shows 16 hours and 40 minutes of battery life when browsing the web, which is almost two hours less than the results of the base Galaxy S25. When streaming videos on YouTube, the smartphone lasts 7 hours and 44 minutes, and during 3D games - 9 hours and 38 minutes, which is also less than the base Galaxy S25. The total screen time of the S25 Edge is estimated at about 6 hours and 22 minutes.
Despite its smaller battery capacity, the Galaxy S25 Edge outperforms some other popular models, such as the iPhone 16e, Galaxy A35, and Galaxy S24 FE. This shows that Samsung was able to optimize the device's power consumption, ensuring an acceptable level of autonomy even in such a thin body.
