Galaxy S25 Slim Sneak Peek: First look at Samsung’s first Slim flagship
Following the lots of leaks and rumors of Galaxy S25 Slim, a reliable tipster OnLeaks in collaboration with Smartprix has now offered us the first look at Samsung’s first Slim phone – Galaxy S25 Slim, through high-resolution renders and 360-degree View.
Galaxy S25 Slim first look
The Galaxy S25 Slim smartphone’s first look is impressive in the grey colourway, it will measure 159 x 76 x 6.4mm. Although it is impressively thin, the device is still not the thinnest phone we have seen from Samsung to date. For your information, this title is held by the Galaxy A8 which was launched in 2015 and was just 5.9mm thin.
Samsung’s modern flagships aren’t very thick by any means. For reference, the Galaxy S24 and S24+ are just 7.6 and 7.7mm thick. Hence, the Slim will be at most 1.2mm thinner than the base model of the Galaxy S24.
Galaxy S25 Slim has a display of about 6.7 inches, with a punch-hole camera in the middle at the top and low bezels. At the same time, there is a power button and volume rocker on the right side of the device. Also, the camera layout is identical to the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models leaked in promo images a few days ago.
On the top, there are two antenna bands. Whereas, the bottom part of the device houses a USB-C port, primary speaker, SIM tray, and microphones.
Based on previous leaks, the Galaxy S25 Slim will offer a 6.7-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness. Under the hood, the smartphone could run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, with various memory and storage configurations.
Talking about optics, despite its slim structure, the phone is likely to have big camera specs including a 200mp main camera, 50mp ultra-wide angle, and 50MP ALoP camera system. It is also said to feature between 4,700mAh and 5,000mAh battery pack.
The Slim device of 2025 is also expected to offer 7 Android OS upgrade support and some AI features, to offer users a more relevant and optimized experience. Accordingly, the smartphone is expected to be teased on January 22 at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California.
