The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is designed to be one of the slimmest smartphones in Samsung's lineup, and it achieves this through the strategic use of materials. Instead of traditional glass, Samsung is reportedly using a ceramic material for the back of the device. This ceramic material is lighter and potentially more durable than glass, which helps in reducing the overall weight and thickness of the phone[2][5][7]. The ceramic back is complemented by an aluminum frame, likely made from Armor Aluminum, which provides structural integrity while maintaining a lightweight form factor[2][5][8].
The use of ceramic instead of glass is a deliberate design choice aimed at enhancing the phone's slim profile. Ceramic materials are known for their durability and resistance to scratches, which could make the Galaxy S25 Edge more resilient compared to traditional glass-backed smartphones[7]. Additionally, the aluminum frame ensures that the device remains robust despite its slim dimensions.
The front of the Galaxy S25 Edge features a flat display with a punch-hole selfie camera design and slim bezels, contributing to its sleek appearance[4]. The overall design, including the dual-camera setup arranged vertically in a raised pill-shaped housing, aligns with Samsung's minimalist design ethos for this model[4].
By combining these materials, Samsung aims to create a device that not only stands out for its slimness but also offers a balance of durability and functionality, making it a compelling option in the premium smartphone market.
