Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for January 22nd, revealing the Galaxy S25 series. While rumors hinted at a fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Slim, joining the lineup, new leaks suggest its launch may be delayed until May.
S25 Slim Launch Postponed
Rumors from China indicate the S25 Slim's release is pushed back to May 2025. While Samsung hasn't officially confirmed the existence of four S25 models, the Unpacked event poster teases four devices. This isn't the first time a delay for the Slim variant has been rumored.
S25 Slim Specifications and Competition
The S25 Slim is expected to be remarkably thin at 6.5mm, with a 6.6-inch AMOLED screen, over 1080p resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Its slim profile may incorporate silicon-carbon battery technology for increased capacity in a smaller footprint, potentially between 4,500 and 5,000 mAh.
