Samsung fans, get ready for an exciting start to the new year as the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series prepares to make its grand entrance at the Unpacked event on January 22nd. While initial buzz suggested the release of the elusive Slim model alongside the rest of the series, recent leaks seem to paint a different picture. Still, the latest One UI 7 firmware leak indicates promising progress.
The latest insights come from a leaked test build of One UI 7, discovered by an observant user online. This build, labeled with model number SM-S937B, is believed to represent the global version of the Galaxy S25 Slim. Parallel reports have identified a similar model number on Geekbench, hinting at the existence of a US version.
These revelations suggest that the Galaxy S25 Slim will house the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, aligning it with the performance specifications of its peers in the S25 series. What makes this model stand out is its impressive slim profile at just 6.4mm thick, slightly thinner than other devices in the lineup.
Despite its thin design, the Galaxy S25 Slim won’t claim the title of the thinnest phone. Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air is said to measure a mere 5.5mm thick, reminiscent of the sleek design of the latest iPad Pro. Even so, Samsung isn’t compromising on features, with the Galaxy S25 Slim expected to mirror the aesthetics of the Plus version and boast a flagship camera setup. This includes a remarkable 200 MP primary camera, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 3.5x telephoto sensor powered by cutting-edge ALoP technology.
As far as the launch is concerned, reports suggest that Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy S25 Slim in May. There’s a possibility, however, that the company will offer eager fans a glimpse of the device at the upcoming Unpacked event.
With all the anticipation building around the Galaxy S25 series, tech enthusiasts are in for a thrilling ride as Samsung unfolds its newest innovations.
