Faced with little technological progress in terms of components, one of the main cell phone manufacturers worldwide seeks to completely innovate in the design of your next premium family. Apparently, Samsung I would be behind a phone Galaxy S25 “ultra thin”as a pilot test for a possible redesign of the model that will hit the market in two years.
According to the Korean specialized media ETNewsthe Korean brand could launch a slim version that would integrate the next line of telephones Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus y Galaxy S25 Ultra.
It should be noted that it will be a independent device which will be released later; Galaxy S25 series expected to go on sale early next year.
Samsung’s first attempt with “thin” cell phones was almost ten years ago, when it launched the Galaxy Alpha in 2014. This phone was the thinnest of its time, only 6.7 millimeters thick, and would serve as inspiration for the design of the Galaxy S6, launched the following year.
But ahead of next year’s launch, this slim cell phone would only be available after the Galaxy S25, in a move similar to the announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition last October. And, as with this one, the main focus will be on demonstrate the thinness of the device.
What is not clear from the information leaked by the Korean media is which of the three Galaxy S25 models will serve as the basis for the Galaxy S25 Slim, if the technology company finally decides to call it this way.
The rise of ultra-thin phones
On the other hand, industry experts mobile They claim that in this way Samsung can begin to take its first steps in another segment little explored by its rivals -Apple, Motorola or Xiaomi, among others-, and if it has encouraging results, it could even appear in the future Galaxy S26.
The Korean news site The Elec directly points out that Samsung will turn the future Galaxy S25 FE into a Slim model. These kinds of Fan Edition teams are usually released a few months after the main series. This helps prevent them from monopolizing phone sales. Ssomething that is also supposedly a concern with the Slim model.
Galaxy S25 Ultra: everything we know so far
While waiting for the definitions from Samsung, the specifics regarding the next launches are in the Galaxy S25. A phone that would apparently move away from that very rectangular that they adopted since their merger with the Galaxy Note in 2019, especially the Ultra model, to adopt now more curves in favor of ergonomics with more rounded edges like those of the iPhone 16 Pro.
Samsung prepares a Galaxy S25 Ultra with dimensions of 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 millimeters. This means that the next Korean tank will be thinner than its predecessors, since the Galaxy S24 Ultra had a thickness of 8.6 millimeters and the models from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Galaxy S20 Ultra had a thickness of 8.9 millimeters.
Another of the rumors that is gaining more and more strength is in the connectivity of the S25 Ultra, in particular, if this edition will finally be the first to have satellite functions. Yes, as its main rival Apple has had for two years.
The next question to resolve would be whether it would be a differential feature of the Ultra model or, on the contrary, it will be available in the entire Galaxy S25 family. All this will be revealed when Samsung holds its traditional event, possibly at the end of January as happened with the Galaxy S24.
