New details about Samsung’s long-rumored Galaxy S25 Slim model have surfaced, leaving fans disappointed. Reliable leaker Yogesh Brar claims that the device may feature a less powerful processor than expected. Here are the details you need to know:
Will the S25 Slim Be a Letdown in Terms of Processor?
Initially expected to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the phone is rumored to come with a 7-core version instead. This would mean a slightly weaker version of the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite, which normally has one additional core.

The Galaxy S25 Slim generated a lot of excitement with its ultra-slim design. However, recent leaks suggest the device may not be as impressive as anticipated. First, rumors surfaced that its launch had been delayed to May. Now, there’s speculation that the device may not even make it to the U.S. market.
Additionally, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are also rumored to use this 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. While this version may offer better energy efficiency, it could also lag slightly in performance compared to the standard version.
These developments have significantly raised doubts about the Galaxy S25 Slim’s ability to deliver the high-level performance expected of it. Initially positioned as a competitor to the iPhone 17 Air, the model now faces criticism due to its downgraded processor, reduced battery capacity, and rumors of skipping the U.S. market altogether.
