Galaxy S25 Slim to see limited launch, as Samsung tests the waters
The iPhone 17 Air has appeared in reports even before the iPhone 16 came out, and it looks like Apple is making a thinner iPhone than any of its predecessors. Apple has not confirmed anything, but the rumors haven't disappeared. It's very likely the iPhone 17 Air is real and coming in September.
Naturally, if Apple does something, Samsung is bound to attempt to replicate it; just look at what has happened in the past six months. The Galaxy Watch Ultra, the new Galaxy Buds, and Project Moohan are new Samsung products that look too much like their Apple equivalents. Even One UI 7, the Android 15 update coming to Samsung devices after the Galaxy S25 launch, looks a lot like iOS 18.
That's why we're getting a Galaxy S25 Slim next year, the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 variant that will compete against the iPhone 17 Air. Samsung will not wait for the iPhone 17 series to come out before it launches a Slim flagship. The Galaxy S25 release date is set for the second quarter of 2025, several months before Apple unveils the 2025 phones.
That will give Samsung bragging rights, as the Galaxy S25 Slim will precede the Air. But Samsung will reportedly take a cautious approach with the Galaxy S25 Slim, giving the phone a limited production run.
