The weight in your pocket is quietly reduced, while the experience in your hand is increasingly enriched. This is the core transformation brought about by this year's Samsung Galaxy flagship phones. The Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold7 are the most representative, especially showcasing Samsung's strength in industrial design. They redefine the boundaries of thinness and lightness while also demonstrating its all-round capabilities, propelling flagship phones into a new era of lighter and more powerful devices.
Structural Reconstruction: Balancing Thinness with High Performance
In recent years, the smartphone industry has long been caught in a dilemma. Users desire the comprehensive flagship experience while refusing to accept a bulky device. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold7, through millimeter-level precision design, offer a groundbreaking solution to this industry dilemma.
The Galaxy S25 Edge eliminates the traditional front metal frame in favor of a new hollow structure that quickly transfers heat from the main chip to the VC heat sink. This innovation not only reduces the thickness of the device but also enables more efficient thermal management. Despite its complex and sophisticated folding design, the Galaxy Z Fold7 manages to achieve an incredibly thin and light body measuring 4.2mm and 163g when unfolded. This is primarily due to the new Ultra-Closed Precision Armored Hinge, which utilizes a teardrop-shaped design and a multi-track structure to effectively reduce the size and weight of the foldable phone.
Thinness and lightness shouldn't come at the expense of durability. The Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold7 utilize titanium and new glass materials, which are key to achieving a balance between lightness and strength. The Galaxy S25 Edge features the same titanium frame as the S25 Ultra, offering over 40% greater impact resistance than traditional armored aluminum. Both phones utilize Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for their screen covers. This material combines high hardness with excellent light transmittance, ensuring both durability and a crystal-clear display.
A full-featured flagship experience in an ultra-thin body
When it comes to pursuing thinness and lightness, the biggest question is often whether performance is compromised. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold7 demonstrate with innovative strength that top-tier performance can be packed into a thin and light package.
Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition Mobile Platform (for Galaxy), a custom chip that not only delivers exceptional graphics rendering and computing performance but also powerfully supports large-scale models on-device. On the Galaxy Z Fold7, the NPU performance has seen a 41% leap, effectively ensuring the smooth Galaxy AI experience.
Innovative AI experiences meet diverse user needs
Both the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold7 feature a 200MP main camera with 2x optical zoom and a wide aperture, capturing rich details and delivering a professional-grade imaging experience comparable to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The AI-powered Enhanced Super Vision Engine further optimizes color and detail, enabling one-click creation of stunning macro, portrait, and nightscape photos. Galaxy AI features intelligent features like the Drawing Assistant and Audio Eraser, allowing users to easily become "masters of post-production," adding even more creativity and fun to their photos and videos.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 features a series of optimizations tailored to the unique characteristics of a foldable screen, delivering a unique and enriched user experience. It supports split-screen multitasking, allowing users to open two or more apps simultaneously on the same screen and freely arrange and operate them to suit their needs. This significantly improves the efficiency of the foldable phone and allows for more convenient multitasking. Furthermore, innovative features like Smart Collections and Instant Translation are highly effective in both office and creative settings, further expanding the phone's functionality and meeting the diverse needs of users in different scenarios.
It can be seen that Samsung Galaxy phones are undergoing a systematic engineering revolution, revealing the future direction of flagship phones: no longer solely pursuing performance improvements or piling up specs, but integrating into users' lives in a more elegant and intelligent way.
