iPhone 17 Air isn’t even out yet, and Samsung Galaxy S25 model already working on a competitor
A super-thin version of the Galaxy S25 might be in the works
The battle for the thinnest flagship phone has, apparently, begun.
Late last month, Korea’s ET News published a report that Samsung is working on a slim smartphone that could launch “several months” after the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, which is likely to happen in the first quarter of 2025.
It appears that the report was accurate, as Smartprix (via MacRumors) has discovered a mysterious new Galaxy S25 model, listed in the GSMA IMEI database under the model number SM-S937U. The phone is listed under the Galaxy name, and there’s no mention of it being called “slim,” but there’s a good chance that this is an entirely new Galaxy phone model, developed alongside the already existing new Galaxy phones.
Why would Samsung be working on a “slim” variant of its Galaxy flagship? Well, rumors say that Apple plans to launch a super-thin and light version of the iPhone, potentially under the name iPhone Air or iPhone 17 Air.
The new iPhone, which might be a replacement for the iPhone Plus variant, could have a 6.5 to 6.6-inch display, and a far thinner profile than any other existing iPhone.
