Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge rumoured to have tiny battery and slow charging

Photo: SamsungThe Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge may have fallen victim to its design ambitions. A recent 3C certification in China revealed a surprisingly small 3,900mAh battery for the device despite its expected 6.7-inch display.

These findings raise concerns about the Galaxy S25 Edge's battery life and charging times. With a smaller battery and slower charging, users may experience frequent top-ups throughout the day.
