The Galaxy S25 Edge is equipped with the main 200MP camera from the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the 12MP ultrawide lens from the Galaxy S25 Plus. Despite lacking a dedicated zoom lens, which limits its zooming capabilities, the device remains a design-focused model with decent camera performance. The phone achieves a cumulative camera score of 140 points, excelling in still photography with a score of 145.6 points and delivering strong videography results at 134 points.
Compared to its counterparts, the Galaxy S25 Edge falls slightly short, primarily due to the absence of a dedicated zoom camera. Its ultrawide lens is also less impressive than those found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The lack of a zoom lens impacts its videography score, yet the device still offers excellent performance overall.
The main camera provides exceptional detail, although colors appear overly vibrant and not entirely true to life. The digital zoom is effective up to 2X, but beyond that, image quality significantly deteriorates. The ultrawide camera maintains sharpness, though some finer details are lost due to post-processing. The front camera performs well, though it lags behind the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of detail.
In video recording, the Galaxy S25 Edge excels at 4K resolution, offering impressive detail and dynamic range, although it sometimes struggles with highlights. The front camera also delivers satisfactory video quality with minimal oversharpening.
In conclusion, while the Galaxy S25 Edge is not a leader in camera technology, it provides consistent results with its wide and ultrawide lenses. Its camera capabilities may not be the primary reason to purchase this phone, but it certainly won’t disappoint those who do.
