The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has sparked debate due to its slim design and the compromises that come with it. Blake Gaiser, the director of smartphone product management at Samsung Electronics America, argues that the phone is designed for users who prefer a large, powerful device without unnecessary weight and features. He defends the absence of telephoto zoom by suggesting that most users can capture quality photos without it. Gaiser emphasizes the phone’s slimness, weight, and weight distribution as key selling points, making it a strong alternative to the Galaxy S25 Ultra and a competitor to the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. Despite concerns about battery life, Gaiser believes most users need only “all-day” battery capacity. The trend towards slimmer phones is evident, with Apple also reportedly adopting a similar approach with its iPhone 17 Air. Ultimately, Gaiser encourages potential users to physically hold the S25 Edge before forming an opinion, suggesting that the experience of using the device outweighs its technical specifications.
