Claims about the “Galaxy S25 Slim” model, which Samsung is expected to launch within the scope of the Galaxy S25 series, are creating excitement in the technology world. It is thought that Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S25 Slim model in the second quarter of 2025, that is, between April and June. It is said that this model, which was first reported by South Korean ET News, will compete with Apple’s “Slim” iPhone model, which is expected in 2025. It is stated that this slim iPhone model, which is expected to be included in Apple’s iPhone 17 series, will replace the iPhone Plus and offer a more elegant design. This competition between Samsung and Apple is expected to bring a different movement to the thin phone segment.
According to the information discovered by the technology news site Smartprix in the GSMA IMEI database, Samsung is working on a new device called “Galaxy” with the model number SM-S937U. It is noteworthy that Samsung generally adds devices in the testing phase to this database six to seven months before they are released. This means that the Galaxy S25 Slim can meet technology enthusiasts a few months after the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, once the testing processes are successfully completed.
It is interpreted that the letter “U” in the device model number in the IMEI database indicates that the device will be released in the US market. Apple is expected to introduce a thinner iPhone model with a similar design in the third quarter of 2025, with a higher price tag. It is claimed that this new iPhone model from Apple will have a 6.6-inch screen size, but will include a single rear camera in line with a more minimal design approach. These initiatives of both brands towards slim design show that the design factor will become increasingly decisive in users’ device preferences.
Galaxy S25 Slim may come with more “simple” specifications
It is claimed that Samsung may simplify some technical features in order to preserve the slim design of the Galaxy S25 Slim model. It is thought that in a thin-cased device, the battery capacity may be reduced and restrictions may be made on some hardware such as the processor or camera. This is because it is technically challenging to include high-capacity batteries and advanced camera modules in devices with ultra-thin designs due to limited space. However, it is also claimed that Samsung is working on innovative solutions that will enable slim design without compromising the user experience.
