The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the Samsung Galaxy S25 have distinct camera setups that cater to different needs and preferences. Here are the key differences:
1. Camera Setup:
- Galaxy S25 Edge: It features a dual-camera setup. The primary sensor is a 200MP camera, which is similar to the one found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, utilizing Samsung's ISOCELL HP2 sensor[1][2]. The secondary camera is typically reported as a 12MP ultrawide lens, similar to those in the Galaxy S25 and S25+[1][2]. However, there are conflicting reports suggesting a 50MP ultrawide lens, though this seems less likely[4][8].
- Galaxy S25: This model has a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide camera[3][6].
2. Zoom Capabilities:
- Galaxy S25 Edge: Due to its dual-camera setup, it lacks a dedicated telephoto lens, meaning zoom capabilities will rely on digital zoom using the primary sensor[2][8].
- Galaxy S25: Offers a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, providing better zoom capabilities compared to the S25 Edge[3][6].
3. Resolution and Sensor Size:
- Galaxy S25 Edge: The 200MP primary sensor offers higher resolution images, potentially benefiting from pixel binning for improved low-light performance[1][2].
- Galaxy S25: The 50MP main sensor is smaller but still offers good image quality with the support of OIS and a wider aperture[3][6].
4. Design Impact:
- Galaxy S25 Edge: The slim design of the S25 Edge, with a thickness of about 5.84 mm, is partly due to the absence of a telephoto lens, which would have added bulk[2][4].
- Galaxy S25: While not as slim as the S25 Edge, the S25's design accommodates a more versatile camera system with a telephoto lens[4].
Overall, the Galaxy S25 Edge focuses on high-resolution imaging with its 200MP sensor, while the Galaxy S25 offers more versatility with its triple-camera setup and dedicated telephoto lens.
