A decade ago, Apple Inc, Samsung Electronics Co and other smartphone manufacturers all battled over the same thing: making the thinnest phone possible. But the industry later pivoted, with technology giants focused instead on jamming in as much battery life, the brightest screens and the fastest chips available. That led to the tradeoff of thicker devices. It’s now 2025 and the war over smartphone thinness is back on. Of the major brands, Samsung is kicking things off with its new Galaxy S25 Edge.

Can’t tell you all how happy I am to be joining Bloomberg, where I’ll be leading product reviews and still covering news — including Sonos, of course. I’ve been at The Verge for 13+ years and love everything about this place and our readers. But this is the perfect second act.
I’m excited to announce two major additions to my new consumer tech team at Bloomberg: Chris Welch (@chriswelch) and Samantha Kelly (@HeySamantha). Congratulations to both! We’re thrilled to expand even further into reviews and devices news.
