2025 promises to become an era of superfluous gadgets. On the horizon - Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 17 Air. Manufacturers compete for the primacy in creating the finest smartphone, but this competition seems to be at the cost of convenience and autonomy.
According to Tom's Guide , ultra -thin design is the main " chip" of new models. But millimeters have already begun to raise serious questions about the practicality of devices. And if for most smartphone is a means of communication and work throughout day , then super -thin models can not withstand even in the evening. According to preliminary turns, the iPhone 17 Air will be able to hold on one charge all day only 60-70 % of users, while other Apple models traditionally show autonomy at 80-90 % . Apple even looks at the possibility of returning the accessory that has long got rid of - a cover with built -in battery. This cover has been off production after the iPhone is released , however, without it , the iPhone 17 Air may be left without a chance of use . In addition , there are fears that through the thin Apple case will have to sacrifice Magsafe wireless charging .
Another novelty - Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge - already been tested. With a battery 3900 , the smartphone lasted only 12 hours and 38 minutes. This may be enough for the active user, especially into account the modern pace of life. Experts explain: the thinner the smartphone, the smaller it in the battery . And when the user has to buy a separate battery cover so that the phone can withstand the whole day, of " supra -thin" gadget loses meaning. As a result, such a device becomes not only thicker but also heavier.
Conclusion? The pursuit of miniaturization can return to the manufacturers sideways. While consumers may be again appreciating the functionality above the appearance .
