- New renders show the potential design of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim
- We’ve also heard some possible specs, including a worryingly small battery capacity.
- Despite its name, the Galaxy S25 Slim may not look much slimmer than the rest of the S25 series.
At this point, it seems like we know almost everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. But what about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim? This long-rumored model remains a relative mystery, at least until now.
Reputable leaker @OnLeaks has now shared, in collaboration with SmartPrix, numerous renders supposedly depicting the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim. These renders show a phone that looks a lot like what we’ve seen from the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus.
The model in question has a flat screen and frame, small bezels, and a triple-lens camera on the back. The source also claims that the Galaxy S25 Slim measures 159 x 76 x 6.4mm (increasing to 8.3mm if the camera bump is included), with a 6.7 to 6.8-inch display.

The phone’s frame is apparently metal, the back is said to be glass, and it reportedly has a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12GB of RAM. This source also echoes another in saying that the S25 Slim’s cameras will likely include a 200MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP telephoto lens, with 3.5x optical zoom.
That telephoto lens is said to have an ALoP (All Lenses on Prism) design, which should help keep it slim.
This all sounds pretty impressive, but leaker @UniverseIce has shared an image showing what the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim will look like from the side compared to the rest of the Galaxy S25 line (if the dimensions we’ve heard for these phones are accurate ). As you can see in the X post below, the visual difference between the 6.4mm Galaxy S25 Slim and the 7.2mm Galaxy S25 (or the 7.3mm Galaxy S25 Plus) is almost non-existent.

A thinner battery too
So, the Galaxy S25 Slim’s main selling point might not be a big selling point after all. In fact, it could even damage the phone; Leaker Digital Chat Station, posted on Chinese site Weibo, claims that due to limited space, both the S25 Slim and the rumored iPhone 17 Air will have batteries between 3,000 mAh and 4,000 mAh.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, which has a similar screen size to what we expect from the Slim, has a 4,900 mAh battery.
Now, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could at least be closer to 4000 mAh than 3000 mAh, as the source of the previous renders claimed that its battery was “significantly” larger than the Galaxy A8’s 3050 mAh battery ( which is currently Samsung’s thinnest). phone). But even 4,000 mAh would be worryingly small for a device with such a large screen and such a powerful chipset.
Of course, we’d take all of this with a grain of salt for now, but all of these sources have a decent track record when it comes to leaks. We’ll probably know for sure in May, as that’s when the source of these renders claims the Galaxy S25 Slim will launch, although they add that teasing may occur during the Samsung Galaxy S25 launch on January 22.
