Samsung is reportedly preparing to unveil its thinnest flagship yet, the Galaxy S25 Slim, early next year. The device, with a rumored sub-7mm thickness, is aimed at challenging Apple’s iPhone 17 Air while pushing the boundaries of mobile design and performance.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Series to Compete With iPhone 17 Air
As part of its plan to boost flagship sales in 2025 and introduce a product to compete with the iPhone 17 Air, rumors suggest that Samsung will take a big step with the launch of the Galaxy S25 series early next year, adding another member to the lineup.
The Galaxy S25 Slim is the newest offering from the Korean tech behemoth, and it's said to be their most daring attempt yet at producing a razor-thin smartphone using just the finest "off the shelf" components. Now that one tip has revealed a feature of the forthcoming phone, let's take a closer look at that specific aspect.
Ice Universe, a well-known tipster on Weibo, dropped a bombshell about the Galaxy S25 Plus's thickness: "6.x mm."
The leaker should have specified the precise measurement, but a thickness of less than 7 millimeters is exceptional when compared to the 8.6 millimeters and 8.3 millimeters of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, respectively.
Galaxy S25 Slim’s Unprecedented Thinness
According to WCCFTECH, the 2018 flagship from Samsung will be 20% slimmer than the company's top-end model this year if calculations show that the Galaxy S25 Plus has a thickness of 6.9mm.
Samsung is clearly going in the same direction as Apple, following speculation that the tech giant is working on an iPhone 17 Air. This rumoured device would supposedly cost less than the iPhone 17 Pro but be just as thick as the 6.9 mm iPhone 6 from 2014.
Potential Challenges for Galaxy S25 Slim’s Performance
If Samsung plans to release the Galaxy S25 Slim with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, we should anticipate significant performance issues due to the device's reduced dimensions.
Users planning to use the Galaxy S25 Slim on a daily basis should be realistic about the device's performance limitations before buying it, even though the Korean manufacturer will likely include a larger vapor chamber to better dissipate hot air.
