Even though Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge borrows some characteristics from the Ultra model, its closest relative arguably is the Galaxy S25+. It's almost like one phone is another's sidegrade, and whether you prefer the Plus or the Edge is a matter of taste more than anything.

Nevertheless, each phone has its own pros and cons, and picking one or the other can be a surprising challenge. We're here to make that choice clearer.

Below you will find two lists detailing the features you will lose or gain by choosing the Galaxy S25+ over the Galaxy S25 Edge and vice versa. But before we dive deeper into what makes these two phones different, here's how they are alike:

Evidently, the Galaxy S25 Edge and S25+ have a lot in common. They share the same DNA strand. Even so, each phone offers a unique experience and a set of traits you won't find on the other. See the lists below.

Which one should you buy? All in all, the Galaxy S25 Edge is a better pick if you value design, lightness, cutting-edge engineering, above-premium materials, and a higher-resolution 200MP primary camera. Consider pre-ordering it for a better price.

On the other hand, the Galaxy S25+ could be a better phone if you prioritize the 10MP telephoto camera and the bigger & faster-charging battery over lightness, thinness, design, and a high-resolution camera.

Most importantly, you really can't go wrong no matter which one you buy. Both the Galaxy S25 Edge and the S25+ are fantastic. They just go about it in different ways. Pick one according to what you value more.
