Samsung is reportedly considering a return to its slim phone roots. Ten years after the Galaxy Alpha, the company is eyeing a new “Slim” variant of one of its upcoming Galaxy S25 models.
Galaxy S25 Slim: Details, release date
This dedicated Slim model, expected to launch a few months after the main S25 series, will prioritize a sleek and slender design. It’s unclear which of the three S25 models (vanilla, Plus, or Ultra) will serve as the base for this device.
By releasing a Slim variant, Samsung aims to gauge consumer interest in thinner smartphones. If the market response is positive, the company may incorporate these design principles into future Galaxy S series devices, potentially influencing the Galaxy S26 lineup.
This strategy is similar to the approach taken with the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which focused on a slimmer form factor. Additionally, Samsung is considering transforming the Galaxy S25 FE into a Slim model, further emphasizing the company’s dedication to this design philosophy.

Apple is also rumored to be exploring a Slim model for its iPhone lineup next year, as the Plus model has struggled to gain traction.
However, the question remains: is there a genuine demand for thinner phones in today’s market? Samsung’s experiment with the S25 Slim will provide valuable insights into consumer preferences and shape the future of smartphone design.
