- The Galaxy S25 Slim has been leaked again
- Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU and 12 GB of RAM expected
- The phone could launch later in 2025
Among the many Samsung Galaxy S25 leaks we’ve heard in recent months, there have been constant rumors about a fourth ‘Slim’ model joining the range, and benchmark scores for said phone have just appeared online.
As discovered by well-known tipster @Jukanlosreve, the phone appears with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12GB of RAM. The declared operating system is Android 15, which will be Samsung’s One UI 7.
The single-core and multi-core scores for the phone are somewhat disappointing, but that’s to be expected – work on software and hardware optimization is likely still ongoing, so the phone’s actual performance will be several levels above what is shown here.
There’s no doubt that the Snapdragon 8 Elite is an impressive piece of silicon and will power numerous flagship Android phones this year; Check out our OnePlus 13 review to read about the first of these.
How thin is thin?

As the name suggests, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be slimmer than the other models in the range. Previous leaks have suggested we’re looking at a thickness of between 6 and 7mm, front to back.
That’s significantly thinner than the 7.6mm thickness of the Samsung Galaxy S24, although of course we still don’t know the dimensions of the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus or Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Despite its thinness, the phone could well pack some high-end specs – we’ve heard the phone could have a better rear camera setup than the standard Galaxy S25, while this benchmark leak suggests a very decent.
Samsung has confirmed that its next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, January 22, and the invitation shows four phones, although there have been rumors that the Slim model will go on sale later than the others.
