Samsung’s flagbearer for the year 2025 is launching soon enough. However, there are talks of another slimmer option with “Ultra” cameras joining the mix too. Let’s take a further look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim in this article.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Rumour Round-up

What’s cooking?

Samsung is apparently looking to create a slimmer variant of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup. The Korean news outlet ETNews reported this news citing multiple industry insiders as its source. While the Galaxy S25 “Slim” may be in the works, it is unclear which of the Galaxy S25 will it be based on.

This Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim might grow to become a replacement for the Plus variant or it might serve as a Special Edition of the Ultra phone. We saw Samsung take a similar approach with the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which was a little larger and slimmer iteration of the regular Fold6.

Integration of “Ultra” Camera

A recent leak by ICE UNIVERSE suggests that the slim variant of the Galaxy S25 is potentially equipped with an “Ultra” camera setup.

While the exact specifications remain unconfirmed, we can speculate that Samsung might use one or more cameras from either the Galaxy S24 Ultra or the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra series.

If these rumours prove true, the Galaxy S25 Slim could feature the impressive 200-megapixel primary sensor found in the Ultra models. However, the previous tracks show that the slim phone designs offer limited space for extensive camera hardware. So, it will be interesting to see how Samsung’s engineers address this technical hurdle.

On the other hand, the latest news about the camera is quite sceptical because another reliable tipster, Jukanlosreve, indicates that no specifications for the Galaxy S25 Slim have been officially confirmed yet.

 What’s the point?

The main motive of Samsung with the Galaxy S25 Slim is to test the waters. The company wants to see how the market responds to the design change. If the reaction is positive, they might permanently implement the aesthetics from the next lineup i.e. Galaxy S26 series.

Additionally, this could also be a response to the rumours that Apple is working on a slimmer variant of the iPhone 17 as well. Samsung has taken a few pages out of Apple’s book in the past, and it wouldn’t be surprising if that is the case this time as well.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Launch and Availability

As per the rumours, the slim variant will be launching a few months after the main Galaxy S25 lineup. Samsung is doing this so that the new phone does not hamper the sales of its flagship series. Lastly, this phone could just turn out to be the Galaxy 25 FE, as it was tipped to be slimming down as well.
