Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim rumoured to launch in May: Everything else we know about the upcoming phone

Samsung is ready to unveil the next-gen Galaxy S25 series this month. The company has confirmed that the Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on January 22, 2025. According to the trends, the event is scheduled to reveal the Galaxy S25 series, and this time, the teaser revealed it will introduce 4 models: Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, and a new entry, S25 Slim.

While the traditional 3 models are expected to launch in January, the Slim model is rumoured to take its sweet time to enter the market. In a latest leak, the Galaxy S25 Slim is anticipated to be released later in May.

According to tipster Setsuna Digital, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to launch in May this year, suggesting that next week’s Galaxy Unpacked event will likely focus on the debut of the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. However, there remains a chance that Samsung might tease the S25 Slim during the event.

This wouldn’t be unprecedented, as the brand previewed the Galaxy Ring alongside the S24 series last year, even though the smart ring wasn’t available for purchase until June. Adding weight to this speculation, the Galaxy Unpacked launch invite features the outline of four phones. It’s worth noting, however, that it’s unclear if the tipster’s timeline applies exclusively to China or includes the global market.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim: What to expect

As the name suggests, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is sleek and is likely to be the slimmest smartphone in the Samsung-verse. To put that into perspective, it’s significantly thinner than the 7.6mm Galaxy S24. Besides its design, one of the standout features of the S25 Slim is its 4,700 to 5,000mAh battery, an impressive feat for a device this thin. Reports suggest Samsung might be leveraging advanced silicon-carbon anode battery technology, similar to what we’ve seen in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro. This would ensure long-lasting performance without compromising the phone’s slim design. Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.

The Galaxy S25 Slim is tipped to feature a 6.66-inch display, placing it in the same league as the Galaxy S24+ in terms of screen size. On the photography front, the device could sport a 200-megapixel HP5 primary camera, accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel 3.5x telephoto snapper.

It is noteworthy that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim will be in direct competition with the upcoming iPhone 17. Both smartphones are to pay special importance to the design. It will be interesting to see how both these phones will play against each other and which will win the battle.
