REASONS TO CONSIDER

Galaxy S25 Edge

  • More screen, if you want it

    6.7″ vs 6.5″ diagonally. Larger is a preference, not an automatic win.

    Preference, not included in the match score.
  • An 8K recording option

    8K recording is verified on this phone and absent on the other. Resolution alone does not establish video quality.

    Verified hardware; Camera is not scored for this pair.
