Just lately, we realized that Samsung is getting ready to launch a really skinny and stylish telephone, tentatively dubbed the Galaxy S25 Slim. This is able to mark a pattern for Samsung, because it already launched a 3rd foldable telephone in 2024 for the primary time and named it the Galaxy Z Fold Particular Version.
What’s particular about it’s that it’s a lot thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, design to battle the formidable competitors of Chinese language telephone makers that are arising with foldables just like the Magic V3 that’s sub-5mm skinny when opened, and comes with higher specs.
One thing related is in play with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim because it scheduled to launch within the second quarter of 2025 or 1 / 4 earlier than Apple’s personal rumored iPhone 17 Air class hits the cabinets.
The iPhone Air, nonetheless, will take the place there’s now occupied by the iPhone Plus sequence, that means that it will not have the perfect display screen, processor, or digital camera set within the sequence. These can be reserved for the iPhone Professional fashions. Because the iPhone Plus line is not promoting very nicely, Apple reportedly determined to transform its design in a slimmer, svelter Air type to set it additional aside from the remainder of the iPhone 17 sequence, bump the value, and doubtlessly improve gross sales.
We’ll see if the technique succeeds, however Samsung is reportedly getting ready to one-up the iPhone Air not solely within the processing division, because the S25 Slim will allegedly sport the top-shelf Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, identical to the S25, S25+, and S25 Extremely, but additionally make no compromises with the digital camera equipment, not like the iPhone Air.
In line with leakster Ice Universe, the S25 Slim can be coming with an “Extremely” digital camera when it is launched in Q2, although it would not turn out to be clear if meaning it’ll function the Galaxy S25 Extremely‘s important digital camera, its optical zoom equipment, the entire set, or one thing else altogether.
Other than a thinner, svelter design, Samsung additionally upgraded the Galaxy Z Fold Particular Version digital camera to the 200MP important sensor borrowed from the S24 Extremely, so slapping an Extremely digital camera equipment within the S25 Slim, no matter meaning, can be fully in sync with the areas it’s in search of to improve whereas on the unique skinny telephone spree it’s embarking on.
