JerryRigEverything tested the slim Galaxy S25 Edge for durability

Standard scratch and damage tests

Nelson started with the usual tests for his channel:

• Scratched the display - scratches appeared without much effort, as expected from contact with hard objects.
• Scratched the side edges and case - the metal and glass withstood the test, but scratch marks are visible on close inspection.
• Ripped out the power button and volume rocker - the buttons could be gently pulled out, but after the test, they were back in place and still working.
• Scratched the under-screen fingerprint scanner - despite the microscopic scratches, the scanner did not lose function and quietly read the fingerprint.

Bend Test

After checking the scratches, Nelson began the key test: trying to bend the Galaxy S25 Edge. The smartphone was so stiff that Nelson was unable to bend it even with considerable force.

• When pressing hard on the screen side, the back panel slightly moved away from the body in the area of the dual camera, but after removing the load, the cover returned to its place without visible damage.
• The case retained its shape, the screen protection was intact, and after the test, all functions (screen, buttons, fingerprint scanner) worked as before.
