The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to weigh around 162 grams, which is remarkably light considering its large 6.7-inch display size[2][5][7]. This weight is comparable to the base Galaxy S25, which has a smaller 6.2-inch display[5][7]. The S25 Edge's lightweight design is partly due to its slim profile, measuring only 5.84 mm in thickness[4][5].
The use of ceramic for the back panel is a significant factor in achieving this lightweight yet durable design. Ceramic is known for being tougher and potentially lighter than traditional glass or metal materials used in smartphones[6][8]. However, ceramic is generally denser than glass, which could add weight if used extensively. In the case of the S25 Edge, the combination of ceramic with an aluminum frame seems to balance durability and weight effectively[4][8].
Comparing the S25 Edge to other phones with ceramic backs is challenging since there are few recent models that feature ceramic extensively. Historically, ceramic phones have been heavier due to the material's density. For example, older models like the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with a ceramic back were around 175 grams, which is heavier than the S25 Edge[3]. However, the S25 Edge's innovative design and material choice make it one of the lightest and thinnest flagship phones available, especially when considering its large screen size and premium features[9].
In summary, the Galaxy S25 Edge stands out for its lightweight design despite featuring a large display and potentially a ceramic back, making it a unique offering in the market.
