As Samsung is set to release its flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S25, rumor has it that the series will bring a new entry – the Galaxy S25 Slim. As the name suggests, it is speculated that the company is focusing on sleek and slim design language. Based on the current leaks, this variant will compete with iPhone 17 Air. However, Samsung’s slim will take some time to hit the market.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim will not be launched on the same day as the others. The expected launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is January 22 and a new report based on Samsung’s latest One UI 7 beta supports this claim. The beta includes a list of US carrier-specific Samsung phone models, but the Galaxy S25 Slim’s model number is notably absent. This suggests that the Slim will not be part of the initial wave of devices launching with One UI 7 based on Android 15. Earlier rumors had indicated that the S25 Slim would launch in the second quarter of next year (between April and June), which is in line with the One UI 7 findings.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim: leaks and rumors

While Samsung has traditionally leaned towards larger, high-performance models, the Slim variant will appeal to users who prefer a more manageable form factor without compromising high-end specifications. The device may have a thin profile, possibly less than 7mm, making it one of the most pocket-friendly premium smartphones in the market.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be its impressive 4,700 to 5,000mAh battery, which is a remarkable feat for a phone with its slim profile. Reports suggest that Samsung may use the same advanced silicon-carbon anode battery technology as the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, allowing for extended battery life without compromising the device’s sleek design. In terms of performance, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, ensuring top-tier processing power.

The device is also likely to feature a 6.66-inch display, which is similar to the Galaxy S24+ in terms of screen size.

On the camera front, the S25 Slim may be equipped with a 200-megapixel HP5 primary sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 50-megapixel 3.5x telephoto camera, promising impressive photographic capabilities.

According to reports, the Galaxy S25 Slim may feature Samsung’s new ALoP (all lenses on prism) technology for the telephoto camera. This innovation recently introduced by Samsung Semiconductor is designed to allow smartphones to maintain a slim form factor without compromising on image quality. A recent tip suggests that ALoP could be the key to achieving the Galaxy S25 Slim’s sleek design while delivering powerful camera performance.
