Samsung could launch Galaxy S25 Slim in limited quantities next year. The company is reportedly considering a slimmer S25 model ahead of a possible Galaxy S26 revamp. We previously heard S25 FE could be marketed as a Slim variant.
ETNews reports that Samsung is planning to launch a Slim mode under the Galaxy S25 series. The additional variant will feature a slimmer form factor. It could be introduced by the end of next year, keeping the S25 lineup intact.
Next year, Apple and Samsung could compete over Slim smartphones. Both phone makers are said to be working on a flagship model with Slim design. Samsung is said to be having different long-term goals leading it to launch an S25 Slim.
The Korean tech giant could test market response with the slim model. If the response is favorable, it may consider changes to the Galaxy S26 lineup in 2026, while falling short of expectations would help it design future flagships accordingly.
Multiple industry insiders stated, “Samsung recently added a ‘slim’ version to the Galaxy S25 lineup,” and “they plan to release it in small quantities to gauge market response, with the possibility of altering the lineup in 2026.”
Galaxy S25 Series
While a Slim is rumored to join the lineup, other models will remain intact. The company will launch Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra next year. The slimmer variant would be announced “a few months later” to gauge demand.
Apple iPhone 17 Air/Slim
Apple could launch a slim model instead of a Plus model in the iPhone 17 series. The slim variant is expected to be thinner and have a screen size of around 6.56 inches, slightly smaller than the current Plus (6.69 inches).
Samsung and Apple seemingly brought Slim phones to the table as a breakthrough, attracting attention to the competition. The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to launch in the second quarter, and the Apple iPhone Slim in the third quarter.
Galaxy S24 and S23 series are seemingly One UI 7 Beta phase I devices in the US. Samsung could release the Beta Program after two weeks. But recently, Samsung published One UI 7 Beta forums on the US community for the Galaxy S24 and S23 series.
It has been discovered that Samsung has published the One UI 7 Beta forum for the Galaxy S24 and S23 series in the US. It’s a big development, hinting at the imminent Beta Program launch for the corresponding models in phase I.
Recently, tipster IceUniverse revealed that the Beta may take two more weeks before release. It seems Samsung has entered the final phase of testing. The company may finish testing Beta 1 of Galaxy S25 by mid-November.
The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get One UI 7 Beta this year. Meanwhile, we could see a swift expansion, covering select older flagships such as the Galaxy S23 series. Recent foldable models would also enjoy the Beta experience.
Publishing a Beta forum isn’t a quite new development by Samsung. The company publishes respective landing pages on the community every year. The forums will keep Beta participants aware of the latest news and updates.
Recently, we revealed the possibility of One UI 7 Beta debut after November 21. Samsung will hold SDC24 Korea on the 21st, where it could also announce the Beta Program release or drop some good news about the same.
After Beta testing this year, the final version will be introduced early next year. The new software will debut alongside the Galaxy S25 series. We expect the flagship launch in January and the One UI 7 rollout to start in February next year.
Samsung announced its Q3 2024 earnings with consolidated sales of 79.1 trillion won ($57.2 billion) and an operating profit of 9.18 trillion won ($6.6 billion), down by 1.26 trillion won from the previous quarter.
The MX (Mobile) Division saw a 13% improvement from the previous quarter given the launch of new Galaxy phones. The DS (semiconductor) division grew 3% from the previous quarter due to an increase in high-end memory sales.
The Korean tech giant also revealed that sales increased by 7% QoQ, achieving record-high quarterly sales. Gross profit reached 30 trillion won, slightly up from the previous quarter due to the expansion of flagship sales in MX.
Samsung continued its active R&D investments, recording an all-time high of 8.87 trillion won in quarterly R&D expenses. DS Division’s one-time expenses were larger than the gap between Samsung’s operating profit and market consensus.
Key Details:
- Memory Business: Profits decreased due to a reduction in inventory evaluation recovery, one-time expenses like incentive provisioning, and currency impacts from a weaker dollar.
- System LSI: Sales increased through maximizing revenue and minimizing inventory, although performance declined due to increased one-time expenses.
- DX Division posted sales of 44.99 trillion won and an operating profit of 3.37 trillion won.
- VD posted increased sales and profit from both the previous quarter and the same period last year.
- Home appliances improved performance year-over-year.
Galaxy S25 Series
Apart from earnings results, Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S25 series will launch in the first half of next year. The company vowed to introduce an enhanced Galaxy AI experience for consumers to elevate their everyday tasks.
