Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25+: Teardown Reveals Surprising Weight-Saving Secrets

At first glance, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge seems like a sleeker version of the Galaxy S25+—a near-identical twin minus the telephoto lens. Both devices share the same display size and similar overall dimensions, though the Edge is noticeably thinner.

It’s tempting to assume that the Galaxy S25 Edge is just a slightly lighter version of the S25+ with a redesigned chassis. But a recent Korean teardown video tells a much more detailed story.

The video meticulously disassembles both the Galaxy S25 Edge and S25+, weighing each internal component. The results show that Samsung didn’t just slim down the casing—they trimmed weight from almost every part inside the phone.

Key takeaways from the teardown:

Battery: 12.6g lighter on the S25 Edge

Middle Frame: 2.8g lighter thanks to titanium replacing aluminum

Other components like the motherboard, cameras, vibration motor, speakers, NFC + MST module, and back panel also shed a few grams each

All in all, the total difference adds up to 27 grams, bringing the Galaxy S25 Edge down to just 163 grams in total weight. It’s also 1.5mm thinner than its S25+ counterpart.
