After several years of routine updates to Samsung‘s flagship smartphones, the upcoming Galaxy S25 lineup promises a refreshing change. Rumors indicate that Samsung may introduce the Galaxy S25 Slim next year, with a recent report offering insights into just how thin the device might be.
As per reliable tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S25 Slim could be as thin as 6.X mm, significantly slimmer than the standard S24’s 7.6 mm. This puts it in competition with Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air, which is also expected to be extremely thin. While details are unclear on how Samsung plans to achieve this slimmer design without affecting hardware, battery life, or cooling, the use of silicon-carbon anode battery technology could be a possibility.
For those unaware, Silicon-carbon anode technology improves smartphone batteries by increasing energy density, enabling longer battery life or slimmer designs. It also offers improved heat management. In addition to that, the device could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which has been proven to be quite efficient and runs relatively cooler compared to its predecessors.
Previous reports have claimed that the Galaxy S25 Slim will come with a 200MP main camera using Samsung’s new Isocell HP5 sensor, which is smaller than the HP2 sensor in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Complementing the primary camera, the device is expected to feature two 1/2.76″ 50MP Isocell JN5 sensors for ultrawide and 3.5x telephoto capabilities, promising sharper zoom performance.
Samsung’s Advanced Lens on Plastic (ALoP) technology will be utilized to reduce camera assembly thickness without sacrificing optical quality. With Samsung reportedly preparing to launch the Galaxy S25 series on January 22, 2025, we can expect more details to arrive on the Galaxy S25 Slim, and other S25 series devices in the coming days, so stay tuned.
