2025 is going to start with a bang in the world of smartphone launches. You see, the 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event for Samsung is set to reveal the new Galaxy S25 series for the year. While the Galaxy S25 leaks continue to rain in, there is now a new fourth Galaxy S25 device that will be part of this group.
Recent leaks have stated that there will be a brand-new Galaxy S25 Slim. As the name suggests, the Slim model of the Galaxy S25 family will be a very thin and slim device. This could also be a response to Apple, who has been rumored to bring a new iPhone 17 model to its usual base and pro lineup, called the iPhone 17 Air.
Let’s take a look at what you can expect from the upcoming Galaxy S25 Slim.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Release Date
While the Galaxy Unpacked for 2025 has been set for the 22nd of January, we might not see the reveal of the Galaxy S25 Slim during that time. Of course, the base, Plus, and Ultra versions of the Galaxy S25 will be revealed during the event. As for the Galaxy S25 Slim, you can expect Samsung to release this variant of the device during the middle section of the year or maybe even alongside the Galaxy S25 FE if there is going to be one.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Specs
As far as the specs go for the Galaxy S25 Slim, here is what the rumors have revealed about the device while the details are good, one main aspect of the device seems to be missing – the thinness. As a slim device, it would be interesting to know how slim the Galaxy S25 Slim will be. Seems like this will be kept as a surprise, and we will probably have to wait for Samsung to do the official specs reveals.
- Display Size: 6.6-inch (ca. 17 cm) AMOLED
- SoC: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
- Rear Camera Setup: 200MP main, 50MP Ultra Wide, and 50MP 3.5x Telephoto Zoom
- Battery: 4500mAh expected
We could possibly see a reduction in the size of the camera bump, but having a really large one will simply make no sense of the “slim” tag. While the device is expected to come with Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC for Galaxy, one issue that would be very common with the Galaxy S25 Slim would be heating issues. Now whether Samsung sticks with Snapdragon or goes back to its much hated Exynos SoC for the Slim model, only time will tell.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Storage, RAM, and Charging
You can expect the Galaxy S25 Slim to be paired with 8GB of RAM and storage choices of 128GB and 256GB models. As for charging speeds, Samsung hasn’t shown interest in increasing the charging speeds. You can expect wired charging speeds of up to 25W and wireless charging speeds at 15W.
In terms of build and color options, there is no concrete information, but one could assume that the Sim variant will be similar to its FE siblings. If we do see a change of design with the Galaxy S25 slim, you can expect Samsung to follow with the new design styling either for its Z series devices or 2026’s Galaxy S26 lineup.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Pricing and Software
If the rumors are to be believed about the upcoming Galaxy S25 Slim, one can expect the price to be sitting between the Galaxy FE and the base model of the Galaxy S25. Now whether the Galaxy S25 Slim will replace the Galaxy S25 SE, is something only the higher-ups at Samsung know.
Pulling a page from the launch of the base Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24 FE, the devices were priced at $799 and $649 respectively. With these price tags in mind, you can expect the pricing for the Galaxy S25 Slim to be around $650 price tag. Pricing the Galaxy S25 Slim closer to the Galaxy base S25 would not make any sense, so expect it to be priced at the FE’s price tag or a little higher.
Coming to the software side of things. Samsung’s One UI 7 will be powering the device. Samsung will stick to its promise of 7 years of software updates, meaning that the Galaxy S25 Slim along with the other Galaxy S25 devices will get major Android updates until 2032, including the next generation Galaxy Tab S, FE, Z Fold, and Z Flip devices.
Samsung’s suite of Galaxy AI tools will continue to be the main highlight of One UI 7. One UI 7 is expected to be released with the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and the S25 Ultra models.
Galaxy AI tools will include the following:
- Browsing Assist
- Call Assist
- Chat Assist
- Circle To Search
- Drawing Assist
- Health Assist
- Interpreter
- Note Assist
- Photo Ambient Wallpaper
- Photo Assist
- Transcript Assist
- Writing Assist
Closing Thoughts
This concludes everything you need to stay up to date on the rumored Galaxy S25 Slim, slated for a 2025 release. Now it is interesting to a slim variant of the Galaxy S25. However, there are doubts if it will act as a replacement for the Galaxy FE model or if it will be the fourth flagship-level device to the S25 family.
As it is with rumors, do take this information with a pinch of salt and stick around with YTECHB as we get concrete information about the upcoming S25 devices as well as the S25 slim.
