Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 versus Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, the stronger argument is display quality. The Z Fold6 has the useful edge there with a larger 7.6-inch screen, its Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and a larger 4,400 mAh battery. The S25 Edge still has a role if you prefer a sharper 513 PPI display, its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Z Fold6 is the stronger choice for display quality, with the S25 Edge better suited to portability.

Over a full contract, the S25 Edge works out around £515 all-in, about £683 less than the Z Fold6.
