Samsung is preparing to try a different approach with the new Galaxy S25 Slim model. The model, which is still in the rumor stage, will appear as a thinner version in addition to Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series. The existence of this model, which was recently reported by ETNews, has now been further confirmed with two new model numbers (SM-S937U and SM-S937) appearing in the GSMA IMEI database. Here are the details

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim once again confirmed to be on the way

Judging by the numbers revealed, we can expect two separate versions for the US and international markets. With the Galaxy S25 Slim, Samsung wants to take a careful step against the iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone Air, which will be included in Apple’s iPhone 17 series expected to be released next year.

While it is known that Apple will offer a more compact version in the iPhone 17 series consisting of four models, it is quite remarkable that Samsung wants to experience a similar approach for the Galaxy S25 series. However, Samsung is adopting a more cautious strategy compared to Apple.

After introducing the standard S25, Plus and Ultra models in January, it plans to launch the new model, which will be called Slim or Special Edition, in the second quarter of the year. It is stated that this device will be produced in limited numbers and may be offered with a wider marketing strategy in the Galaxy S26 series according to user response.

We can say that the Galaxy S25 Slim will be a rare “compact flagship” in the Android world. Although Samsung, like Apple, has not offered such a slim model before, it is cautious due to the low interest in compact devices in the Android ecosystem.

If the Slim model is successful, it is possible that Samsung will develop this model more comprehensively in the coming years and provide leadership in this segment. Once the Galaxy S25 Slim’s features and release date are finalized, its impact on the market will become more evident.
