The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is set to be officially unveiled next month, but leaks about its design and features are already making waves. One of the most talked-about aspects of the device is its incredibly thin profile, rumored to measure just 5.84mm. Naturally, this raises concerns about fragility, but Samsung is confident that the S25 Edge won’t compromise on durability.
Samsung Hints at Enhanced Durability for the Galaxy S25 Edge
In an interview with TechRadar, Annika Bizon, Samsung’s Mobile Experience (MX) VP of Product and Marketing in the UK, addressed these concerns. While she didn’t provide specific details, she emphasized that the phone’s form factor won’t come at the expense of durability.
Here’s what she had to say:
I can’t say too much, but what I will say is that [the Edge] is about beautiful form factor. And there are two points I want to make. One is that it’s absolutely stunning. And if you think about the technology that’s going into that size of space, it’s pretty impressive. The second thing I’ll say concerns durability. With anything slim, durability [has to come as part of the package]. Those are the two features [of the Edge] that are exciting [for us]. Well, I know durability isn’t exciting – but it’s really important. So watch this space, because there are some exciting things to come regarding this phone.
While Samsung hasn’t confirmed any specific materials, leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a ceramic back. If true, this would be a significant step in ensuring durability, as ceramic is tougher than glass. Combined with a metallic frame, the phone could be more resistant to scratches and accidental drops.
Notably, durability tests from Zack at JerryRigEverything have become a benchmark for smartphone toughness. If Samsung is confident in the S25 Edge’s resilience, it could mean the device is built to pass these durability tests.
Pokdepinion: Interestingly, despite showcasing the Galaxy S25 Edge at Unpacked in January and MWC in March, Samsung has not allowed anyone to physically handle the device. One theory is that the ceramic back might feel noticeably different from glass, and Samsung wants to keep that detail under wraps until the official unveiling.With just a month to go before the Galaxy S25 Edge is fully revealed, we won’t have to wait long to see if Samsung’s claims of durability hold up.
