The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to feature a ceramic rear panel, which is expected to enhance its durability compared to traditional glass materials like Gorilla Glass Victus 2 used in other Galaxy S25 models. Ceramic is generally denser and heavier than glass, but reports suggest that the weight difference may not be significant if Samsung uses a version of glass infused with ceramic material or a thin layer of ceramic.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to weigh around 162 grams, which is the same as the thicker Galaxy S25 Plus, despite being only 5.84 mm thick[1][5]. This suggests that the use of ceramic might not add substantial weight, possibly due to the design and material combination. If Samsung were to use a full ceramic back, it could potentially be heavier, but the current weight indicates that the ceramic material is likely used in a way that minimizes additional weight.
In comparison, if the Galaxy S25 Edge were to use a glass back similar to other models, it might be slightly lighter due to the lower density of glass. However, the exact weight difference between a ceramic and glass version is not explicitly stated in the available reports. The focus on maintaining a similar weight to other models while enhancing durability suggests that Samsung has carefully balanced material choice and design to achieve both slimness and robustness.
