Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim: what to expect | Infinium-tech

It’s almost certain that Samsung will release not three, but four Galaxy S25 smartphones at this year’s first Unpacked event. Samsung will be adding a “Galaxy S25 Slim”, which should fit between the S25+ and S25 Ultra, at least in terms of price.

As the name suggests, slim design

Unlike the rest of the Galaxy S25 family, photos of the S25 Slim have not been leaked. All we know is that the handset will have a slightly different design compared to the rest. Rumor has it that Samsung will use the S25 Slim as a basis for the design of next year’s S26 series.

However, we know that it will be very thin, measuring around 6.5mm in thickness. That’s an impressively thin chassis, considering most phones these days are between 8-9mm.

top tier hardware

We expect no shortage of high-end hardware from the Galaxy S25 Slim. After all, this device is part of Samsung’s flagship lineup and is expected to be priced close to the Ultra.

The display diagonal is rumored to be 6.66″ like the S25+, while the chipset will be Qualcomm’s latest and greatest – the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

There is still no consensus on battery capacity, but tipsters estimate a cell between 4,700 and 5,000 mAh. This may not seem like much at first, but keep in mind the thin 6.5-millimeter profile.

“Ultra” cameras on board

Despite its size, the S25 Slim is likely to have an “Ultra” camera system, meaning it will have the better part of the S25 Ultra’s camera hardware. Luckily, we have some leaked detailed descriptions of the camera system, so we don’t have to guess.

The main 200MP ISOCELL HP5 sensor will likely be taken from the Ultra, measuring 1/1.56″ in size, but could also be 1/1.3″ like the HP2. Remember, the HP5 has yet to be announced.

The ultrawide and telephoto units will run on Samsung’s 50MP JN5 1/2.76″ sensor. The telephoto camera will have a 3.5x optical zoom. The S25 Slim will not have a second telephoto camera.

Additionally, the 3.5x telephoto camera is said to use Samsung’s All Lens on Prism (ALoP) design. The advantage of the new technology is that it can be fitted even in tight spaces. Perfect for S25 Slim.

Price and availability

As mentioned, pricing is unknown, but we know it will be cheaper than the Ultra and more expensive than the Plus. And as far as availability goes, don’t hold your breath, as current evidence suggests the S25 Slim won’t arrive until the second quarter of this year. It will probably be announced during the Samsung Unpacked event this month, but it will take a while for you to buy it.

The fact that Samsung has been able to keep a close eye on its new flagship device confirms that it is not as close to release as the other three phones in the lineup. So, for the first time in a while, we can get excited about the upcoming surprises of the Unpacked event on January 22.
