Samsung and Apple are both working on even slimmer versions of their flagship phones. The Galaxy S25 Slim and iPhone 17 Air are expected to be the latest models. Both phones will offer thinner designs for those who think current phones are too bulky.
However, according to tipster Ice Universe, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Slim will do more than just shrink the size.
The S25 Slim will reportedly have a much better camera than the regular S25 model, with a “Ultra camera” packed into a thinner body. This camera setup is said to be similar to the Vivo X200 Pro mini, which is powerful yet compact.
In contrast, reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will be more about looks than performance. It is rumored to have weaker specs compared to the standard iPhone 17 models, but will be priced higher due to its design.
While the exact details of both phones are still unclear, Ice Universe suggests that the iPhone 17 Air will focus mainly on its slim “Air” design, with no major benefits over other iPhone 17 versions. There is concern that the iPhone 17 Air’s price could be too high, much like the Apple Vision Pro.
Samsung is expected to reveal the Galaxy S25 Slim in January 2025, alongside the regular S25 models. However, it is unlikely that the S25 Slim will launch at the same time, and may only be shown as a preview.
Both phones are expected to be marketed as premium, slim models, but how much thinner they can get remains to be seen. For now, the focus is on how both companies will balance design with performance.
