Is this real? The Galaxy S25 Edge is on sale for just $699 at Amazon right now

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has proven to be a divisive phone, but I suspect it's about to become a whole lot more popular as Amazon is currently listing the device for just $699.99 (was $1,099).

Not only is this a new record-low price, but today's deal is for the higher-end 256GB variant rather than the entry-level 128GB version.

At $699, this price is so good that it makes the Edge even cheaper than the standard Galaxy S25 today. The Edge is supposed to be the higher-end device here!

As an overview, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a new slim-line model from the brand. It features many of the same components as the standard S25 series (notably the chipset), but in a slimmed-down, lightweight chassis. Why isn't the S25 Edge super popular? Aside from the price, it does have a few trade-offs in terms of camera quality and battery life. For $699, however, this particular deal at Amazon could be a fantastic opportunity to pick up a brand-new flagship for a fraction of the usual price.

The case for the Galaxy S25 Edge

Our Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review gave a fair assessment of the device, praising its design and performance, while highlighting the various compromises Samsung had to make to cram so many features into a super-slim body.

Our biggest criticism revolved around the cameras and the battery life. The camera setup isn't quite as versatile as the other devices in the range, and our testing showed that the Edge's battery life lagged slightly behind the standard S25 (13 hours under heavy use, for the record).

At $699, however, the Edge is definitely worth checking out. Under the hood, you get the same Snapdragon chipset as the other models and a stunning 6.7-inch AMOLED display capable of 120Hz. The 200MP main camera should satisfy all but the most avid mobile photographers, too - especially at this price.
