The Galaxy Alpha was Samsung’s first smartphone launched ten years ago. It was a slim, 6.7mm device that served as the inspiration for the Galaxy S6 design within a year. According to a Korean publication, ETNews, the company is planning to do the same thing again.
Samsung is expected to launch a slim version of one of the Galaxy S25 phones. In addition to the vanilla, Plus and Ultra models of the Galaxy S25 series, this will be a separate device that will launch later.
Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, the slender device will arrive a few months later. The main focus will be on making the device thinner. We don’t know which of the three Galaxy S25 models will serve as the basis for the Galaxy S25 Slim.
According to industry insiders, Samsung will use this method to gauge whether thin phones have a demand. It will incorporate those results into the Galaxy S26 design if it sees encouraging results.
As we’ve already seen from The Elec, Samsung plans to turn the Galaxy S25 FE into a slim model a few months after its main series launch. It also prevents the S FE models from cannibalizing sales of the Slim models, which is also an issue with the Slim models.
Additionally, Apple is rumoured to be planning a Slim model for next year to replace the struggling Plus model.
