I don't get it. 3900mAh battery and 25 charging is not okay for a flagship costing over 1 lakh. If the aim is to make a light phone, why not use a weaker SoC and make it cheaper as well? This is neither here nor there. Who even is the target audience?

It's a first-gen product, most of them tend to be "okay but who is going to buy this?" type things. I guess they will better figure that out as they iterate (unless it gets discontinued). We have been approaching a true bezel-less design for a while now so it was only a matter of time before companies started on making phones thinner. Apple is also reportedly working on one, which is probably why Samsung's feels a bit rushed (they wanted to be first).

I'm a bit confused as well. Maybe for people who like the S25+ but want it lighter?

I think its more like a concept of 'look what we can do' than a good value consumer product.

The boring/limited colour options suggest that might be the case too.
