Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs Samsung Galaxy S25+

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between Samsung Galaxy S25+ and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, display quality is the main reason to lean one way. The S25+ has its Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel and a larger 4,900 mAh battery; the S25 Edge mainly responds with its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, and a lighter 163g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The S25+ is the better fit for display quality, while the S25 Edge is the one to consider for portability.

The S25 Edge is the cheaper one to own: around £648 over a typical contract, £232 less than the S25+.
