Samsung plans to unveil the slim Galaxy S25 Slim in May 2025. A tech portal, iXBT, relays this news, citing an insider known as Instant Digital. The report suggests Samsung aims to pair a compact frame with flagship-level performance, delivering an experience that stands out in a crowded market.
The same source indicates pre-orders would open immediately after the official reveal, with the device set to join the June wave of promotions during China’s 618 shopping festival. That timing could help gauge consumer demand while maximizing initial visibility in key markets.
While the flagship Galaxy S25 family is scheduled to debut at Galaxy Unpacked on January 22, the S25 Slim is described as a separate introduction, leaving room for questions about the scheduling strategy. Analysts will be watching for how Samsung positions the slim model within a family known for premium features and high demand.
Industry chatter places the S25 Slim on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy platform, paired with 12 GB of RAM, and a One UI 15 user experience built on Android 14. Geekbench listings reportedly show single-core scores around 3000 and multi-core results near 6900, underscoring an emphasis on brisk performance and efficiency.
The device is also said to sport a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and vibrant visuals. A 200 MP main camera targets high-resolution photography, complemented by a telephoto lens with about 3.5x zoom and an ultra-wide module for expansive landscapes and creative framing.
Earlier this year, Nubia introduced the Flip 2, a budget-friendly foldable that adds competition to the foldable segment while appealing to price-conscious buyers seeking innovative design without breaking the bank.
