New Developments in Samsung’s Upcoming Galaxy S25 Series
Recent leaks regarding Samsung’s forthcoming Unpacked event, scheduled for late January, reveal the intriguing appearance of four distinct devices rather than the expected three. These rumors indicate that alongside the usual Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models, there will be an additional variant—the Galaxy S25 Slim.
The Competitive Landscape with Apple’s iPhone 17 Air
This move by Samsung seems strategically timed in anticipation of Apple’s iPhone 17 Air launch set for September. With much chatter surrounding the specifications of the Galaxy S25 Slim, many fans are speculating about its potential slimness. Notably, well-known tipster Ice Universe has shared insights hinting at a thickness benchmark.
Reports suggest that we can expect the Galaxy S25 Slim to measure around 6.x mm in thickness; thus it will likely be below the 7 mm mark. However, exact dimensions remain under wraps for now.
A Closer Look at Rivalry: Thickness and Features
If this projection holds true, Apple may still retain its claim to producing one of the thinnest smartphones on market with its iPhone 17 Air allegedly measuring between 5 mm and 6 mm thick. However, this comes at a cost—rumored compromises include a single rear camera resembling that of earlier SE models.
Anticipating Release Dates and Unveiling
The unveiling of the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected during January’s Unpacked event; however, keep an eye out as reports suggest a possible release later in the year instead.
