Two features Samsung had to sacrifice for the Galaxy S25 Edge

The Galaxy S25 Edge is one of the top phones with an extremely thin and delicate design. However, this fragility comes with trade-offs in battery capacity and charging speed - details that have been revealed in the latest 3C certification.

To achieve the desired slim design, Samsung had to accept limiting battery technology on the Galaxy S25 Edge

According to the 3C certification, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be equipped with a 3,900 mAh battery and support 25W fast charging. Compared to the basic Galaxy S25 with a 4,000 mAh battery, this difference shows that in order to achieve a slim design, Samsung had to sacrifice some performance. This also shows that Samsung has not been able to apply the silicon-carbon battery technology that many Chinese phone manufacturers are using to provide batteries with capacities up to 6,000 mAh.

The battery is the biggest weakness on the Galaxy S25 Edge

Although Samsung and Apple are researching silicon-carbon battery technology for future products, both are currently lagging behind their competitors. If silicon-carbon battery technology is applied, the Galaxy S25 Edge could have a battery of up to 5,000 mAh without affecting the thinness.

In terms of charging speed, Samsung may have limited the Galaxy S25 Edge's power consumption to 25W to avoid overheating, which could shorten the device's lifespan. However, the Galaxy S25 Edge is still equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite version with a high-performance core operating at 4.47GHz, higher than the default 4.32GHz.

Despite its advanced chipset, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't score as impressively as expected, possibly due to unoptimized software or a too-thin design that bottlenecks performance. Those planning to use the Galaxy S25 Edge as a daily device should note that this phone may not offer the same battery life and charging speeds as other models.
