Before they have to overcome these two key points to succeed

Fashion trends affect all economic sectorsfrom homes to cars. And consumer electronics is no exception. There are fashions that become permanent, such as when at the beginning of the century we begin to see the first smartphones in Spain, at a time when people still asked you “What do you want internet for the mobile?”

Currently smart mobiles are not a fashion, they are a reality in most homes in the world, although occasionally the fashion of silly phones will return. But there is other trends that do not last decades, but a few years And even months.

In 2025 we are beginning to see one that could be one of those temporary trends, that of MAKE MOBILE MAKE. This is something we saw a few years ago when Apple boasted that its iPhone on duty was even thinner than the previous one. Until they began to bend.

Besides, The extreme thinness in this type of devices had a series of inconveniences that sometimes caused more problems than the user wanted to accept. Above all we talk about those related to the battery, since being very fine the mobile had no capacity to house a large pile.

This is still one of the issues to take into account in 2025 when we talk about very thin mobiles, but it is not the only one. So much Apple as Samsung seems to present their new models throughout the yearterminals that boast of its design, and that is something that must be taken into account because it is an argument of sale for many users, although it is not for the most technophiles.

The size of the batteries

The main problem of very fine mobiles is that there is no space for very large batteries. In recent years We have become accustomed to making mobiles with batteries of about 5,000 mAheven in terminals that were not the most powerful and expensive. This failed to reach the two days of autonomy in a standardized way, but it would not have to load the mobile in a day.

With the launch of mobile 5 or 6 mm thick these capacities are not possible, So autonomy will not be as good as in normal models. Of course, there are currently models with silicon carbon batteries that allow the battery size to be more condensed, so it would be possible to make batteries of a more adjusted size without losing autonomy.

It is something we have seen in Chinese mobilesbut not yet in Korean or American brands. It is logical that Samsung and Apple bet on this type of batteries in these mobiles because they will have smaller sales than their flagships and this will allow them to check if there are failures before integrating them into normal high -end models, probably in 2026.

On the other hand, the two companies have fast charging systems that are not the most advanced, but that also does not require heat control systems or multiple processors that manage the load and occupy space. Of course, We do not hope that the new thin mobiles of these companies have more advanced loading systems that those who are currently on sale.

The size of the cameras

The other problem with these mobiles is that, being so fine, it is not possible to put an advanced camera system, which requires a lot of space. It is no accident that the best mobiles have a bump in the rear area with a large cameras system, such as the living X200 Pro, the Oppo Find X8 Pro or the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, to give several examples of several brands, all of which stand out in the camera.

Mobiles such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or the iPhone 16 Pro Max do not have such large and thick modules, but it is true that the devices themselves are thick in themselves, at least compared to what both brands are expected to present this year. Perhaps that is why it is speculated that neither, nor the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge or the iPhone 17 Air will have cameras with optical zoom, because are the lenses that require the most space. They will also make the most powerful mobiles remain the reference in the photographic section.

The positive part is that Knowledge of brands in image processing can help To, without having large sensors or huge lenses, we can obtain valid photographs. These mobiles will not be the photographic reference of their respective families, but of course they have to give a good service to buyers, because they will not be cheap mobiles under any circumstances.

Light and thin

Naturally, these mobiles will be sold under the design claim, which matters to many people. And the weight will also be contained. The S25 EDGE is expected to have the dimensions of a S25+ but the weight of a S25about 162 grams. The iPhone 17 Air should be in a similar weight.

The same goes for thickness, which would be less than 6 mma feat that Samsung has already suggested in the improved version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 that may be presented as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 in Europe in Europe this year, which has a minimum thickness, although doubled by its own form of form.
