As we approach the highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2025, curiosity among tech enthusiasts is growing. Along with the familiar S family—the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and S25 Ultra. But this year, the South Korean company has reportedly added a new member to the flagship S series: the Galaxy S25 Slim, an ultra-slim powerhouse. The inclusion of this new variant gains further credence from an upcoming Unpacked event post showcasing four devices, presumably alongside the existing Galaxy S25 family.

After a long leak, popular tipster OnLeaks has teamed up with SmartPrix to reveal a leaked render of the alleged Galaxy S25 Slim. This is the first time any image of S25 Slim has surfaced on the Internet. The leak suggests that the design is similar to the Galaxy S25 and S25+ with rounded corners. It also reveals that the color options available in the sibling model S25 Slim—Silver, Navy Blue, Ice Blue, and Mint shades—are also the same in the S25 Slim.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is rumored to sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The size of the S25 Slim is rumored to be same as the Galaxy S25+. This new version is considered the ultra-thin model, with a thickness is 6.4mm. But along with this slim design, the Galaxy S25 Slim is rumored to feature an S25 Ultra-level camera. This news gained traction when popular tipster Ice Universe highlighted it. Details suggest the main camera is likely to be the same as the S25 Ultra's 200MP ISOCELL HP5 sensor (which is yet to be officially announced). Ultra-wide and telephoto cameras are also likely, along with a 50MP sensor offering 3.5x optical zoom.

In terms of power, the Slim is expected to fall somewhere between its siblings, the S25 and S25 Ultra. The Slim is expected to be a powerful device despite its thinness, packing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite chipset—Qualcomm's latest and most powerful offering—which is likely to be introduced across the entire S25 family.

Because of its thinness, a new silicon-carbon battery is expected—thinner but without compromising capacity. With this new technology, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to come with a 5000mAh battery. This is good news for those seeking a complete powerhouse with a large battery in a slim form factor. If the rumors are true, other features include IP68 dust and water resistance, a fingerprint sensor, and satellite connectivity (a feature frequently demanded by Samsung fans).

Price and Release Date

The entire Samsung Galaxy S25 series is reportedly priced higher than its predecessor, the Galaxy S24. The S25 Slim will be cheaper than the Ultra model but slightly more expensive than the S25+ model. This pricing strategy aligns with the rumored specs, as the Slim model's specifications are closer to those of the S25 Ultra.

Now, the key question is: When will we be able to experience this slim model firsthand? Alongside previous reports, a new tip from well-known and trusted tipster Setsuna Digital suggests we'll need to wait a little longer, as the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to launch sometime in Q2 2025, possibly in May. This raises the question: What is the fourth model in the Galaxy Unpacked event poster? The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be that model, but it appears Samsung will announce and tease the S25 Slim, similar to how they previewed the Galaxy Ring at the Unpacked 2024 event.

A Bigger Picture

This new addition of the Galaxy S25 Slim is poised to influence the technology landscape. Tech companies are now increasingly considering aesthetics. This is welcome news, as consumers demand sleekness combined with powerful performance. Samsung is positioned to be among the first to launch such a slim model, but certainly not the last. Other tech giants like Apple and OnePlus are also reportedly working on their slim smartphone models. As competition intensifies, we can anticipate unique and valuable innovations from tech companies.
