iPhone Air vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Apple’s new iPhone Air proudly claims the title of the thinnest iPhone ever, measuring just 5.6mm thick. This makes it one of the slimmest phones in the market today. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, previously the thinnest phone from Samsung, measures around 6.0mm thick. When it comes to pricing, the Galaxy S25 Edge is priced around ₹1,10,000 in India, slightly cheaper than the iPhone Air’s ₹1,19,900 starting price for the base 256GB model.
On paper, the iPhone Air edges out Samsung’s model by a slim but clear margin in terms of raw thinness.
Design
Design-wise, both phones use premium materials. Apple’s Air uses grade 5 titanium combined with Ceramic Shield 2, providing excellent durability despite the thinner profile. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge features an aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass Victus 3, known for its resilience but thicker glass layers contribute to the extra thickness.
When it comes to weight, the iPhone Air is around 165 grams, feather-light even by flagship standards. The Galaxy S25 Edge weighs slightly more, approximately 172 grams, which reflects the difference in materials and battery capacity.
Features
In terms of features, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge offers a dual curved-edge OLED display and a more versatile rear camera setup with multiple lenses. The iPhone Air focuses on a single 48MP rear sensor but compensates with advanced AI-enhanced photography and video capabilities.
Battery is an area where Samsung takes the upper hand. The Galaxy S25 Edge boasts a larger battery capacity and longer endurance, while the thinner iPhone Air makes compromises here, offering a shorter video playback time as a trade-off for its slim design.
To Conclude
In conclusion, if the absolute thinnest phone is the priority, the iPhone Air wins that title with its 5.6mm frame. However, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge may appeal more to users seeking a well-rounded device with better battery life and camera versatility, albeit at a slightly thicker profile. Both represent significant achievements in smartphone design and cater to different user priorities.
