The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a beautiful 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Let me break down what that actually means in everyday use.

The basics:

It's a QHD+ display (3120 x 1440 pixels), which is sharper than most phones. At about 510 pixels per inch, individual pixels are invisible to the human eye. You'd need a magnifying glass to see them.

The "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" name is Samsung marketing, but the technology is genuinely excellent. Each pixel produces its own light and can turn off completely—that's why blacks look truly black, not dark gray. Colors pop without looking artificial (unless you want them to, in which case Samsung has a "Vivid" mode).

Smoothness:

The 120Hz adaptive refresh rate is noticeable the moment you start scrolling. Everything feels fluid and responsive. The "adaptive" part is important—the display automatically drops to lower refresh rates when displaying static content to save battery. You don't have to manage this; it just happens.

Outdoor use:

At 2,600 nits peak brightness, the screen is readable in sunlight. It's not quite as bright as the S25 Ultra, and here's something to know: Samsung left out the anti-reflective coating that the Ultra has. If you use your phone outside a lot, you'll notice more glare and reflections than you would on the pricier model.

Always-On Display:

The screen can show time, date, and notifications without fully waking up—and because AMOLED pixels can turn off completely, this barely impacts battery life.
