Samsung is set to unveil the next-generation Galaxy S25 series this month. The company has confirmed that the Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on January 22, 2025. As per the trends, the Galaxy S25 series is set to be revealed at the event, and this time, the teaser has revealed that it will offer 4 models: Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, and a new entry, the S25 Slim. While the traditional 3 model is expected to launch in January, the slim model is rumored to take much longer to hit the market. In a latest leak, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be released in late May.

According to tipster Setsuna Digital, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to launch in May this year, which suggests that next week’s Galaxy Unpacked event will likely focus on the debut of the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. However, there remains a possibility that Samsung may tease the S25 Slim during the event.

This wouldn’t be unprecedented, as the brand previewed the Galaxy Ring with the S24 series last year, even though the smart ring wasn’t available for purchase until June. Adding to this speculation, the Galaxy Unpacked launch invite has revealed the outlines of four phones. However, it’s worth noting that it’s unclear whether the tipster’s timeline applies specifically to China or includes the global market.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim: What to expect

As the name suggests, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is sleek and is likely to be the thinnest smartphone in the Samsung-verse. To put this in perspective, that’s significantly thinner than the 7.6mm Galaxy S24. Apart from its design, one of the most striking features of the S25 Slim is its 4,700 to 5,000mAh battery, which is an impressive feat for such a thin device. Reports suggest that Samsung may take advantage of advanced silicon-carbon anode battery technology, as we have seen in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro. This will ensure long-lasting performance without compromising the slim design of the phone. Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.

The Galaxy S25 Slim is said to have a 6.66-inch display, which puts it in the same league as the Galaxy S24+ in terms of screen size. On the photography front, the device may sport a 200-megapixel HP5 primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel 3.5x telephoto snapper.

It is worth noting that Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim will compete directly with the upcoming iPhone 17. Special attention has to be paid to design in both smartphones. It will be interesting to see how these two phones will play against each other and who will win.
