Spec-wise, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is a winner. It has a blazing-fast custom Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, an even larger take on the S24 Ultra’s low-glare display, and a more robust camera system with 48-megapixel ultra-wide shots.

You'll get a much larger screen with the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max, as leakers say the Edge will feature a 6.6-inch panel. The smaller, thinner design plus lighter materials like ceramic could help the Galaxy S25 Edge weigh less than the 8-ounce iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple’s iPhone 17 Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge are set to battle in 2025 with ultra-thin designs, powerful specs, advanced cameras, and competitive pricing.
