The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's battery life is expected to be one of its weaker points compared to other models in the S25 series. It is confirmed to have a rated capacity of 3,786 mAh, which translates to a typical capacity of about 3,900 mAh[1][2][5]. This is notably smaller than the batteries in other S25 models. For instance, the regular Galaxy S25 has a 4,000 mAh battery[2][10], while the Galaxy S25 Plus boasts a larger 4,900 mAh battery[4][7]. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is the largest model in the series, uses a 5,000 mAh battery[3].
Given these differences in battery capacity, the S25 Edge is likely to have shorter battery life compared to the Plus and Ultra models. The S25 Edge's thinner design is a trade-off for its smaller battery, which might not provide the same level of endurance as its thicker counterparts[1][2]. However, the efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset used across the S25 series could help mitigate some of the battery life concerns[10][11].
In terms of charging, the S25 Edge supports 25W wired charging, similar to the regular S25, but lacks wireless charging capabilities due to its slim design[1][7]. In contrast, the S25 Plus offers faster 45W wired charging and supports 15W wireless charging[4][7].
Overall, while the S25 Edge's battery life might not be as robust as other models in the series, its sleek design and powerful performance could still appeal to users prioritizing aesthetics and speed over battery longevity.
