The Samsung Galaxy S25 series launch is imminent, and alongside it, rumors suggest the unveiling of a new contender: the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.

Release Date and Availability
While a Korean launch is almost certain, international availability is also anticipated. Initially, rumors pointed towards a mid-summer release, possibly around June. However, recent leaks suggest a potential announcement alongside the S25 lineup in January, although actual availability might be delayed. This would be a departure from Samsung’s typical early-year flagship releases, with the summer timeframe aligning more with their FE releases, usually in September or October.
Potential Price Point

Pricing the S25 Slim is tricky. While FE models typically offer a more affordable option, rumors hint at upgraded specs for the Slim, potentially placing it closer to the standard S25 models in terms of performance. With expected price hikes across the S25 line (potentially $100 more than the S24’s $799/$999/$1299 price points), the S25 Slim could easily exceed $1,000.
Design and Dimensions

Unlike the other S25 models, concrete design details for the Slim remain elusive. No dummy units have surfaced yet, leaving its silhouette a mystery. However, leaks suggest a remarkably slim profile, potentially between 6mm and 6.9mm thick, significantly thinner than current Pixel and iPhone models.
