Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Durability Test Reveals Impressive Chassis Strength

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge has landed, rocking a razor-thin 5.8mm frame that makes it the slimmest phone in the company’s arsenal. At just 163 grams, with a titanium-boosted chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, it’s a masterclass in premium build. But can this sleek stunner survive the torture chamber of JerryRigEverything’s durability gauntlet? YouTube’s Zack Nelson, the maestro of stress tests, puts the S25 Edge through his brutal paces to see if its svelte design can take a beating.

Kicking things off, Zack unleashes his Mohs scale picks to probe the S25 Edge’s screen toughness, guarded by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. Scratches start showing faintly at level 6, with deeper gouges at level 7—par for the course for flagship glass. For phone newbies, this means your screen’s safe from keys or coins jingling in your pocket, though sand or grit could leave a mark. The titanium frame, a flex of durability and class, laughs off Zack’s scraping, keeping the edges showroom-fresh. It’s a solid opener: this phone’s ready for life’s daily scrapes.

Next, Zack goes after the titanium-augmented side frame with a razor blade, but the alloy barely flinches, shrugging off major damage with ease. That’s a win for anyone dreading scuffs from a crowded bag or pocket. The power and volume buttons hold their crisp click despite Zack’s relentless scratching, meaning this phone won’t look like it’s been through a war after a few months of rough love. Its IP68 dust and water resistance seals the deal, ensuring the S25 Edge can handle a spill or a dusty adventure without breaking a sweat.


In a test that feels like a rogue lab experiment, Zack torches the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a lighter for 30 seconds to see if it can take the heat. Post-flame, the screen bounces back like a champ, no permanent scars in sight—a relief for anyone who’s left their phone baking in a car or too close to a heater. For something this thin, that kind of grit is a shocker, proof Samsung’s nailed the balance of style and substance.


The main event? Zack’s notorious bend test, a nail-biter given the S25 Edge’s wafer-thin 5.8mm build. Flashbacks to the iPad Pro’s bending disaster haunt the scene—can this slender slab hold up? Zack cranks the pressure from front and back, and the titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 team up, letting the phone flex just enough without snapping. A slight gap near the power button pops up under screen pressure, but nothing breaks. For non-techies, this means your phone can survive a back-pocket crush or a clumsy sit-down without turning into a sad taco.


Zack doesn’t let the rear panel—cloaked in Gorilla Glass Victus 2—or the pill-shaped camera bump, home to a 200MP wide-angle and 12MP ultra-wide lens, off easy. Scratching the back glass mirrors the front: marks at level 6, deeper at 7, tough enough for daily grind. The camera lenses, shielded by their own glass, fend off scratches, keeping your shots crystal-clear even if your phone’s rattling around with loose change. No telephoto lens is a bummer for zoom fans, a sacrifice for that slim profile, but it doesn’t dent the durability.
