SAMSUNG has had a pretty packed year in smartphone world.
First, we had the usual Galaxy S25 launches at the start of the year - and then there were some great budget-friendly models too.

And now we're back to the Galaxy S25 again with a new category.
This time it's all about thin, thin, thin.
All the tech packed inside ever-powerful phones make it tricky business to stop them from becoming almighty hunks of metal.
What with chunky batteries, all that processing power needed for AI tools, the list goes on.
But Samsung is determined to give it a go with the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge - even if there are some sacrifices.
As The Sun's main Android smartphone reviewer I get hands-on with all sorts of devices all the time.
Here's why you might want to consider the Galaxy S25 Edge if you're fed up with chunky mobiles weighing down your pocket.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Look and feel
How the Galaxy S25 Edge looks and feels is arguably the most important first bit of information you want.
And the good news is, it's immense.
I can't remember the last time I held a phone of this size and power that felt this light, at only 163g.
Samsung insider reveals top tricks every user needs to know about to save battery and storage
A website on the weight of items tells me that's about as heavy as an average hockey puck.
The Galaxy S25+ and iPhone 15 Plus are the fairest comparisons to note, because they both have a 6.7inch display like the S25 Edge.
A Galaxy S25+ weighs 190g, while the iPhone 15 Plus is 201g.
But it's not just the weight, the Edge is super thin at 5.8mm - Samsung's thinnest ever phone.
Looking for objects around the house, the nearest item I could compare it to is a tiny bit thicker than my passport.
Again, the Galaxy S25+ is 7.3mm thick and the iPhone 15 Plus is 7.8mm.
This makes the iPhone - and just about every other smartphone, even Samsung's other models - look and feel like a brick.
Despite all this, the titanium body and hardened glass on the S25 Edge feel pretty tough, though I'd worry it might bend if I accidentally sat on it a few times too many.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Performance and software
From a software and performance perspective, the Galaxy S25 Edge feels just like the other phones in the series.
It runs on Samsung 's own version of Android, One UI.
One UI has a consistent, clean and easy look that I like.
All the S25 devices run on Android 15, One UI 7, which is the very latest version of both, straight out of the box.
And once again, Samsung offers a whooping seven years of security and software updates.
Look after the handset it could last you quite sometime thereby saving you money on upgrades.
Who offers free updates longest?
The longer you receive updates, the longer you can safely continue using your smartphone - with the latest features thrown in too for free.
Samsung
For the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung said it would provide at least seven generations of OS updates and seven years of security updates.
OnePlus
At the launch of the OnePlus 13, OnePlus committed to at least four years of Android updates and six years of security updates.
Xiaomi
Xiaomi offers four years off Android updates and five years security updates.
Google
For the Pixel 9 series, Google said that devices would receive at least seven years of support.
Like the other S25 devices, the Edge version uses the same powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip on the inside to keep things running super smooth.
As such, apps, games and anything else you throw at it glides through without any issue or lag.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Features
The Galaxy S25 Edge carries all the same great features as the other models too, with a large focus on AI tools this year.
Samsung moved closer to Google and its Gemini digital assistant.
Though not exclusive to Samsung, it's worth mentioning that Gemini is really handy - I was using it to identify problems with my plant the other day.
As for Samsung's own newer features there's Now Brief, an AI companion that acts as a central hub for everything going on in your day.
This keeps you in check with not only your calendar and weather but learns about your habits so will warn you about things such as traffic.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Battery
Now battery is the big one I was most curious about given that it's the part that takes up a lot of physical space in phones.
Sticking to its nearest comparable sibling, the S25+, the battery on the Edge is smaller.
The Edge has a 3,900 mAh, compared to the S25+'s 4,900 mAh.
And seeing as I mentioned the iPhone 15 Plus before, it's worth noting that the battery there is 4,383 mAh.
The battery and camera sacrifices are bold to say the least
So, physically speaking the Edge is much lower.
Samsung has done some performance optimising to get around this but there's still only so much they can do.
With general on and off usage throughout my day - using apps like WhatsApp, checking emails, watching the odd video and going on social media - I could get a day out of it.
But constant power users watching loads of videos probably won't make it through the day without help.
What's more, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't charge as fast as it's sister handsets either.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Camera
The other big difference is on camera with only two on the back of the S25 Edge.
There's no telephoto sensor to take clear photos from a distance - which is something you would expect from a phone that costs upward of a grand.
But the 200-megapixel main camera and 12-megapixel ultrawide camera do manage to take some detailed pics popping with colour.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Pricing
The Galaxy S25 Edge starts from £1,099 / $1,099.
But there is a new way to keep the cost of expensive phones down in the form of Samsung Club.
For a lower monthly cost, you can get the latest Galaxy every year rather than buying outright each time, plus other perks.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is the first phone being offered as part of the scheme from £33.31 per month.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Verdict
Final thoughts by Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a slick looking phone there is no questioning that, it oozes sexy.
You get a gorgeous display, as well as the tried and trusted Samsung experience on the phone as well.
The battery and camera sacrifices are bold to say the least.
While I love not being weighed down by a phone in my pocket, it's hard to overlook these two drawbacks when the price tag tops a grand.

How China made electric vehicles mainstream
"I drive an electric vehicle because I am poor," says Lu Yunfeng, a private hire driver, who is at a charging station on the outskirts of Guangzhou in the south of nearby, Sun Jingguo agrees. "The cost of driving a petrol car is too expensive. I save money driving an electric vehicle," he says."Also, it protects the environment," he adds, leaning against his white Beijing U7 the kind of conversation climate campaigners dream of hearing. In many countries, electric vehicles (EVs) are considered luxury here in China - where almost half of all cars sold last year were electric - it's a banal reality. 'King of the hill' At the beginning of the century, China's leadership laid out plans to dominate the technologies of the future. Once a nation of bicycles China is now the world's leader in Guangzhou's more than 18 million people, the roar of the rush hour has become a hum."When it comes to EVs, China is 10 years ahead and 10 times better than any other country," says auto sector analyst Michael Dunne. China's BYD now leads the global EV market, after overtaking US rival Tesla earlier this sales have been helped by a vast domestic market of more than 1.4 billion people and it is now looking to sell more cars overseas. So too are a raft of other Chinese start-ups that make affordable EVs for the mass how did China build this lead, and can it be caught? The master plan In tracing the origins of China's EV dominance, analysts often credit Wan Gang - a German-trained engineer who became China's minister of trade and science in 2007."He looked around and said, 'Good news: we are now the largest car market in the world. Bad news: on the streets of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou all I see is foreign brands'," says Mr the time, Chinese brands simply couldn't compete with the European, American and Japanese car makers for quality and prestige. These companies had an unassailable head start when it came to producing petrol or diesel-powered China did have ample resources, a skilled labour force and an ecosystem of suppliers in the motor industry. So Mr Wan decided to "change the game and flip the script by moving to electrics", according to Mr was the master though the Chinese government had included EVs in its five-year economic blueprint as early as 2001, it wasn't until the 2010s that it started to provide vast amounts of subsidies to grow the unlike Western democracies, has the capacity to mobilise huge swathes of its economy over many years towards its country's mammoth infrastructure projects and dominance in manufacturing are a testament to this.A US think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), estimates that from 2009 to the end of 2023, Beijing spent around $231bn (£172bn) developing the EV consumers and carmakers to electricity providers and battery suppliers, everyone in China is entitled to money and assistance when it comes to encouraged BYD, for example, to switch from making smartphone batteries to focusing on producing CATL - which supplies firms such as Tesla, Volkswagen and Ford - was founded in 2011 and now produces a third of all the batteries used for EVs combination of long-term planning and government funding also allowed China to dominate critical supply chains in battery has helped build the world's largest public charging network with stations concentrated in big cities, which put drivers just minutes away from the nearest charger. "If you want to manufacture a battery to put into an electric car today, all roads go through China," says Mr refer to this as "state capitalism". Western countries call it unfair business EV executives insist all companies, domestic or foreign, have access to the same a result, they argue, China now has a thriving EV start-up sector, driven by fierce competition and a culture of innovation."The Chinese government is doing the same thing you see in Europe and in the US - providing policy support, consumer encouragement and infrastructure," Brian Gu, president of EV maker XPeng, tells the BBC."But I think China has done it consistently and in a way that really fosters the most competitive landscape that there is. There's no favouritism to anybody," he adds. XPeng is one of the "Chinese champions", as Mr Gu puts it, driving the industry forward. Barely a decade old and yet to turn a profit, the start-up is already in the world's top 10 EV company has attracted some of China's top young graduates to its headquarters in Guangzhou, where casually dressed staff sip flat whites and internet streamers sell cars live in the showroom.A brightly coloured slide taking employees from the top to the ground floor would seem more at home in Silicon Valley than China's industrial the relaxed atmosphere, Mr Gu says the pressure to offer consumers better cars at lower prices is "immense".The BBC was invited on a test drive of XPeng's Mona Max, which has just gone on sale in China for around $20, this price you get self-driving capability, voice activation, lie-flat beds, film and music streaming. Young Chinese graduates, we're told, see all these as standard features for a first car purchase."The new generation of EV makers... look at cars as a different animal," says David Li, the co-founder and chief executive of Hesai, which makes the Lidar sensing technology used in many self-driving cars. 'An EV makes sense for me' Young Chinese consumers are certainly attracted to top-of-the-range technology, but a huge amount of government spending goes towards making EVs financially attractive, according to the CSIS of the public receive subsidies for trading in their non-electric car for an EV as well as tax exemptions and subsidised rates at public charging perks drove Mr Lu to go electric two years ago. He used to pay 200 yuan ($27.84; £20.72) to fill up his car for 400km (248 miles) of driving. It now costs him a quarter of that. People in China also normally pay thousands for their vehicle registration plate - sometimes more than the cost of the car itself - as part of government efforts to limit congestion and pollution. Mr Lu now gets his green one for free."The rich drive petrol cars because they have unlimited resources," Mr Lu says. "An EV just makes sense for me."Another proud EV owner in Shanghai, who wanted to use her English name Daisy, says that rather than charge her vehicle at a station, she changes her car's battery at one of the city's many automated swapping stations provided by EV maker under three minutes, machines replace her flat battery with a fully charged one. It's state of the art technology for less than the price of a tank of fuel. The road ahead The government subsidies at the heart of China's EV growth are seen as unfair by countries looking to protect their car US, Canada and the European Union have all imposed substantial import taxes on Chinese the UK says it's not planning to follow suit - making it an attractive market for firms like XPeng, which started delivering its G6 model to British consumers in March, and BYD, which launched its Dolphin Surf model this month in the UK, and is available for as little as $26, should be music to the ears of Western governments that enthusiastically back the transition to EVs, which the United Nations calls "pivotal" to avert climate disaster. Several Western countries, including the UK, say they will ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030. No country is better placed to help make this a reality than China."The Chinese are thinking about a future where they manufacture just about every single car for the world. They're looking around saying, 'Can anybody do it better than us?'" says Mr Dunne."Leaders in Detroit, Nagoya, Germany, UK, everywhere around the world, are shaking their heads. It's a new era, and the Chinese are feeling very confident about their prospects right now."Despite the environmental benefits, there is still suspicion about what relying on Chinese technology could former head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, recently called Chinese EVs "computers on wheels" that can be "controlled from Beijing".His claim that Chinese EVs could one day immobilise British cities was dismissed by BYD's executive vice-president Stella Li in a recent BBC interview."Anyone can claim anything if they lose the game. But so what?" she said."BYD pays for a very high standard of data security. We use local carriers for all our data. In fact we do it 10 times better than our competition."Nevertheless Sir Richard's concerns echo previous national security debates surrounding Chinese includes telecoms infrastructure maker Huawei, whose equipment was banned in several Western countries, as well as the social media app TikTok, which is prohibited on UK government for Sun Jingguo in Guangzhou, the message is simple."I think the world should thank China for bringing this technology to the world," he laughs. "I do."Additional reporting by Theo Leggett, international business correspondent in London.
