Samsung has formally unveiled its Galaxy S25 vary of flagship telephones however one anticipated mannequin was lacking: the S25 Slim.
As anticipated, the primary massive Unpacked launch occasion of the yr unveiled the S25 collection however the closely rumoured Galaxy S25 Slim was a no-show.
This appears odd for a few causes. The primary is that rumours within the smartphone world don’t are usually mistaken. Second, Samsung’s teaser invite for Unpacked confirmed the corners of 4 handsets assembly, suggesting that 4 fashions could be introduced.
An unveiling would have meant that Samsung was out of the gate forward of Apple, whose personal slim flagship – the iPhone 17 Air – is rumoured to reach this yr.
What’s the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge?
Nonetheless, as we suspected may occur, Samsung did do some ‘yet another factor’ teaser on the very finish of the Unpacked occasion, because it did with the Galaxy Ring a yr in the past.
So though it appeared that there have been solely three S25 fashions unveiled, Samsung merely held the fourth one again till we thought it was throughout.
As a substitute, we received a fast glimpse however no dialogue of the Galaxy S25 Edge. This could be the S25 Slim below a special model identify, though it solely has two rear cameras, in comparison with the rumoured three.
It does appear to have a equally skinny profile however resurrecting the ‘Edge’ branding from telephones of outdated, together with the Galaxy S7 Edge from 2016, is complicated as these fashions had been notable for the curved screens at their sides.
Will Samsung nonetheless launch the Galaxy S25 Slim?
The truth that the Galaxy S25 Slim didn’t make an look at Unpacked doesn’t imply it can by no means occur.
As talked about above, it appears that evidently it would merely have been renamed the Galaxy S25 Edge as an alternative. It appears just like the Slim leaks, regardless that Samsung solely confirmed a really temporary glimpse of it on the finish of the presentation.
It’s clear that the S25 Edge is coming later as a result of Samsung didn’t even say a phrase about it on stage, as an alternative merely ending Unpacked with the quick Edge video.
In any case, the FE ‘fan version’ fashions at all times arrive many months later, so this one might as properly. We wouldn’t be too upset if it changed the troubled FE vary.

I believe it’s attainable Samsung determined towards the ‘Slim’ branding as a result of it’s merely not slim sufficient when in comparison with the opposite S25 fashions.
The S25 is available in at simply 7.2.mm, with the S25+ and S25 Extremely measuring in at 7.3mm and eight.2mm respectively.
The S25 Slim (or maybe S25 Edge now) is rumoured to be round 6.4mm, so is that basically sufficient to warrant the identify?
Particulars in an unique from Cellphone Enviornment may properly help the concept that the Slim would be the Edge. In accordance with the article, the Slim might by no means arrive within the US, following information that it might be delayed till Might. The article nonetheless lists 39 markets the place it can launch, together with the UK.
We are going to, in fact, replace you after we hear extra concerning the Galaxy S25 Edge.
