Lightest smartphones of 2025: In 2025, phone manufacturers are setting their sights on something consumers enjoy immediately but don’t often discus, weight. As screens expand longer and batteries get more powerful, some brands are going in an opposite direction. They’re creating phones that not only pack a punch but are also remarkably light. Let’s take a glance at seven noteworthy phones that offer flagship capabilities in extremely light frames.

Samsung Galaxy S25

Samsung Galaxy S25 raises the bar in the premium league by tipping the scales at only 162 grams. In spite of its light-as-air build, it packs the behemoth Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, triple camera with a 50MP primary lens, and a 4000mAh battery. With a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 shield, and IP68 rating, this device is premium all the way without feeling like it’s holding you back. Samsung streamlined the material construction from its S24 predecessor to accomplish this thin profile.

Xiaomi CIVI 5

Xiaomi’s CIVI series maintains its tradition of beauty and lightness with the CIVI 5 at just 169 grams. It features a curved OLED screen and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip for stable midrange performance. With its slim looks, glass coating, and good-looking color schemes, the CIVI 5 is the ideal combination of looks and lightness.

Motorola Edge 50 Fusion

Motorola Edge 50 Fusion strikes a balance of form and function in a remarkably lightweight 174.9g build. It features a curved pOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 under the hood. The vegan leather finish provides not just grip but also helps in reducing the weight, making it perfect for non-stop handling without fatigue.

Nothing Phone 2a

At 190g, Nothing Phone 2a still earns a spot here by offering a strong combination of specs and feel. Its transparent design is visually unique, and it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro. The dual rear cameras and Glyph Interface make it one of the most distinct lightweight phones this year.

Realme Narzo 70x 5G

Realme’s Narzo 70x 5G demonstrates that even a sub-₹12,000 smartphone can remain durable and compact. It doesn’t tip the scales too much at 188g and hasn’t compromised on any aspect of its 120Hz LCD screen, Dimensity 6100+ chipset, or its IP54 rating and 45W fast charging. These stand out among its peers in this price class, particularly with its slim build.

iQOO Z9 5G

The iQOO Z9 5G maintains smoothness and speed within a 188g frame. Powered by the Dimensity 7200 chip, it features a 120Hz AMOLED display and a 50MP Sony IMX882 camera with OIS. The weight is evenly distributed, and its slender frame further improves the handling, even under prolonged gaming or video use.

Tecno Spark 20C

The Tecno Spark 20C sneaks into the list with a weight of 192g, which may not sound super-light, but is impressive in its segment. It comes with a 5000mAh battery, 90Hz screen, and runs on the Helio G36 chipset. It’s a good and not-so-heavy daily driver for entry-level users.
