We are still saying goodbye to 2024, and we already have to prepare for 2025; In the smartphone sector, it may be one of the most important years in history. All major brands are expected to completely renew their leading models, and even launch new types of devices such as triple folding devices and explore the possibilities of other form factors. And Samsung will be the protagonist in many of those stories.
To begin with, Samsung will start the year with its new generation of mobile phones, the Galaxy S25; However, no big news is expected this time, and it is more likely that it will be a renewal with small changes and a very powerful processor. The real revolution will come a few months later, with the Galaxy S25 Slima new member of the range that will demonstrate what Samsung is capable of.
The latest leak, published by @Gadgetsdata in X, reveals to what extent the Galaxy S25 Slim can represent a before and after in the design of smartphones, with a thickness less than 7nm that will live up to the name ‘Slim’, ‘thin’. And anyone thinking that means Samsung is going to make sacrifices couldn’t be more wrong.
For example, the leak claims that the battery capacity of the Galaxy S25 Slim will be between 4,700 mAh and 5,000 mAh; In effect, that means that The Slim model will have the same battery as the Galaxy S24 Ultradespite the fact that the latter has a thickness of 8.6 mm. The key may be in Samsung’s new battery technology that allows the thickness to be reduced without affecting the total capacity.
Another surprising detail is found in the cameras, and yes, we speak in plural; the main one would be 200 Mpx, and would be accompanied by a 50 Mpx wide angle lens and a 3.5x telephoto lens, also 50 Mpx. This is surprising not only because of the thickness issue, but also because in this way Samsung can make Apple look ridiculous. The apple company is also developing its own slim mobile phone, which would be called iPhone 17 Air, but it would have to sacrifice the cameras and offer a single sensor.
The Free Android
Samsung will not make sacrifices in an aspect as important as the processor, which It will be the same Snapdragon 8 Elite which will be used in the rest of the Galaxy S25 range; something that if confirmed, would be shocking, due to the energy and heat dissipation needs required by the new Qualcomm chip.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim would be launched during the second quarter of 2025possibly at the same time, or close to, the Galaxy A and the Galaxy S25 FE. So we’ll still have to wait a bit, and features may change in the meantime, but it looks like Samsung is ambitious with this new model.
