Galaxy S25 Slim not teased at Unpacked 2025 image, confirmed
Samsung has published a teaser image for the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event to be held in San Jose, California, USA. This image shows the corners of four phones. At first, we thought they could be four different phones, and the fourth device could be the Galaxy S25 Slim, which has been rumored several times in the last few months. Now, a a leaked promo image shows the four models of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series including the fourth show their front side, but it does not include the Galaxy S25 Slim.
Insider Evan Blass has revealed a promotional image of all three models of the Galaxy S25 series, revealing four devices, three of which show their rear panels, while the fourth shows their front. Previously, Samsung fans thought this front-facing device could be the Galaxy S25 Slim, but that’s not the case, as we discussed here.
If you look closely at the Samsung Galaxy S25 leaked promo front side image, an S Pen slot can be seen at the bottom left of the device, indicating that this may not be the Slim variant. The S Pen slot is a feature primarily found in the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra, not the other including Galaxy S Slim.
Apart from the S Pen slot, at the bottom, the S25 Ultra has a SIM card tray, a mic hole, a USB-C port, and a single slit speaker opening, similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In addition, this image also shows the back design of the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. It gives us a look at the camera modules and overall back design of these models, as well as the Ultra with S pen.
This famous leaker raised an interesting point about the Galaxy S25 Slim in his recent X post yesterday. He reminded Samsung fans that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition was also rumored to be named Z Fold 6 Slim, but that never happened. Why would it be different for the so-called Galaxy S25 Slim?
The Galaxy S25 Slim is rumored to have an ultra-thin design, measuring 6.4mm. It is expected to sport a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB RAM, 200MP primary rear camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, and 4,700-5,000mAh battery.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next flagship S series smartphones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, and now we have the latest “possible” look via unofficial leaked renders, showing the phones in black from different angles.
Certain tipsters have suggested the design of the new Galaxy S26 series way before its launch. Some said that it could bring a vertical pill shape bump in the base layer, encompassing three rings on the back, just like its predecessor, while others are now hinting at a box-like imaging system.
Amid this confusion, alleged renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra are emerging from YTECHB, showing what the devices could actually look like. It may adopt stunning dynamic shades this time: Black, showing the device from all angles.
Looking at the renders in detail, the biggest design change is the rear camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Instead of the old separate rings, it now features a single camera island inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, giving the back a clean, modern look.
With the launch approaching on February 25th, official renders of the Galaxy S26 series have leaked, and we expect more interesting leaks to emerge soon. Samsung has also started taking pre-reservations for it in many countries, including the US and India.
Here’s how it looks.
Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S series phones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, later this month. We’ve already seen numerous leaks and rumors about these devices, detailing their specifications and indicating that the launch is imminent. Now, a reliable industry insider has provided new information about 4 design changes coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Leaker “IceUniverse” has shared new information about four design changes for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have slightly more rounded corners, giving it a softer overall look.
Regarding the second change, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger front camera cutout. This is due to the front camera’s wider field of view, which should allow more people to fit into group selfies.
Furthermore, there is no difference in the bezel width between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Fourth, and most importantly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger display. It measures 6.89 inches, compared to the 6.86-inch display of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Recently, disappointing news for fans has emerged from an online listing. It appears that Samsung has not included Qi2 magnets in the device. Users will need to purchase compatible accessories to utilize Qi2 charging.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will be officially launched on February 25th. The event will take place in San Francisco, and an official livestream will be available for fans. More details will be revealed as the launch date approaches. Stay tuned.
Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G are well-loved smartphones in the Galaxy S series that have now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that Galaxy users of these Galaxy flagship devices will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.
The Korean tech giant recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, with the February 2026 security patch, and the Galaxy S22 series has been placed in the quarterly update category.
The Galaxy S22 still performs very well, and with the latest Galaxy AI features recently added via the One UI 8 update, it remains up-to-date. Furthermore, it will receive One UI 8.5 later this year, which will likely be the final One UI upgrade for the S22.
How many more updates will the Galaxy S22 get?
If you need a reminder, your Galaxy S22 series is eligible for Samsung’s four-year Android upgrade policy and will get four major OS upgrades. These phones launched with Android 12 and One UI 4.1 and have already received Android 16, along with their respective One UI updates.
Coming to the topic, although the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 5G will continue to function properly, the change in the quarterly update schedule means that users will not receive the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.
If you own a Galaxy S22 series phone and are considering an upgrade, you might want to check out newer Samsung models like the Galaxy S26 series. These devices will launch later this month with new features in One UI 8.1, ensuring you stay up to date with the latest technology.
