Galaxy S25 Slim: Samsung plans to respond to Apple's iPhone 17 Air (or the iPhone SE 4)

Samsung and Apple would have the same strategy on the smartphone market for 2025: a new compact format. According to an article fromET News published on October 31, 2024, the South Korean firm would adopt the approach of fineness of Galaxy Z Fold SE and would apply it to the Galaxy S25.

We would thus have a potential “Galaxy S25 Slim” during the year, which could also have consequences on the Galaxy S26 range. The South Korean media explains that several of its sources have recently highlighted that this version could “change the range next year [2026] after seeing the market response”.

This means that if the Galaxy S25 Slim is successful, there is a good chance that one of the traditional models in the range will disappear with the S26 generation. Previous rumors also mentioned the potential removal of the standard modelas Samsung was able to do this year by not launching a small tablet Galaxy Tab S10.

Besides testing consumer response to a thinner Galaxy S, Samsung would have excellent timing against Apple. According to Jukanlosrevethe Galaxy S25 Slim would arrive in April 2025, just after a iPhone SE 4 full of new features. This would thus cast a shadow over Apple, which would wait until the next school year to lift the veil on its iPhone 17 Airplaying on finesse like its latest iPad Pros.

Concerning the name “Slim”, the latter has not yet been confirmed. However, it is a safe bet that this model will ultimately materialize in the long-awaited Galaxy S25 FE. The latest rumors pointed to a launch in the spring or even its much finer format. Jukanlosreve also admits thatExynos 2400 would be therethe chip recently considered for the Galaxy S25 FE.
