We’re doubtless now only a few months away from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, however stories counsel that Samsung may additionally have a fourth mannequin within the works, which for now we’ll consult with because the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.
The newest information on this entrance comes from South Korean web site ET News (by way of @Jukanlosreve), which says that Samsung is contemplating releasing a slimmer entry within the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection, one which might in all probability land a couple of months after the principle S25 line. We’re anticipating the Samsung Galaxy S25 to launch in January or February, so in that case, we would see the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim round April or May.
The undeniable fact that Samsung is seemingly doing this subsequent yr is notable as a result of Apple can be rumored to be launching a thinner telephone in 2025, maybe dubbed the iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air. This would give Samsung’s potential new system a direct competitor – although, as talked about, the Galaxy S25 Slim would doubtless launch barely sooner than Apple’s equal mannequin.
It’s unclear precisely how skinny the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could be, however the slimmest mannequin within the Samsung Galaxy S24 line is 7.6mm thick, so we’d anticipate it to be noticeably thinner than that.
An S25 Slim or an S25 FE?
It’s additionally unsure whether or not the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could be the primary in a totally new product line, or whether or not Samsung would merely make the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE slimmer than earlier FE fashions. One earlier leak from The Elec recommended the latter, and we’ve additionally beforehand heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might land in April, which might match the expected launch timing of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.
If these two telephones are certainly one and the identical, then now we have some thought of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim’s specs, because the Galaxy S25 FE is rumored to have a 6.7-inch display and an Exynos 2400 chipset.
The remaining specs of this telephone are unknown, however to make it thinner, there would doubtless be sacrifices in different areas, maybe resulting in a smaller battery or fewer cameras, for instance.
It’s additionally not clear how extensively obtainable the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim shall be, with the report in ET News suggesting that it would solely be launched in small portions to guage the urge for food for it, after which if it’s successful, Samsung might make the next yr’s Samsung Galaxy S26 Slim extra extensively obtainable.
In any case, we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt for now, however hopefully, Samsung’s plans will grow to be clearer over the approaching months.
