One of the long-awaited models for Galaxy users is the launch of the smaller and more powerful Ultra model. Just like the iPhone’s Pro model and the Google Pixel’s high-end model, there has been a steady demand for both portability and performance for the Galaxy.
On the other hand, the current Ultra model has the drawback of being less portable due to its large size, often exceeding 6 inches, and heavy weight. This inconvenience has forced many users to choose between performance and weight. Therefore, if the Galaxy S25 Slim is released, there is a high expectation for it to come with Ultra-level performance. However, there has been some promising news recently.
Galaxy S25 Slim Confirms Official Model Release With GSMA Registration
According to a report by SamMobile, the Galaxy S25 Slim will feature key camera features of the Ultra model intact. Samsung was reportedly working on the Galaxy S25 Slim after rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim surfaced a few months ago.
Rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim have been circulating for a few months now, and Samsung is also said to be rushing to develop the Galaxy S25 Slim to respond. Recently, it was confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Slim model was registered in the GSMA database, and the S25 Slim model is now more available. Rather than remaining just a rumor, it has been confirmed as an official model expected to be released. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether the Ultra’s camera functions are applied as is or only partially applied.
The possibility of a slim model with an ultra-camera
If equipped with all of the Ultra’s camera capabilities, it is likely to establish itself as an ultra-premium smartphone, such as the Galaxy Fold Special Edition. On the other hand, with only a few features and reduced weight and thickness, as a model that balances portability and performance, it looks more like the Ultra with enhanced portability and spec modules that many users have been waiting for.
Comparison of Galaxy S25 Slim and iPhone 17 Slim
According to what is known so far, the iPhone 17 Slim will be made of thin, lightweight aluminum, with only one rear camera.
It seems to be a model that focuses on extreme portability, which is clearly different from the professional model. On the other hand, the Galaxy S25 Slim is likely to feature the Ultra’s 200-megapixel main camera if it comes with the Ultra’s camera capabilities. However, I don’t think it will feature all the Ultra’s camera capabilities as it is.
The model number of the Galaxy S25 Slim is SM-937, a number that indicates its position between the Plus model and the Ultra model. Looking at this, it is likely that it will have a different configuration from Ultra. In this case, while the iPhone 17 Slim is expected to be equipped with only one camera, I wonder how many cameras the Galaxy S25 Slim will be equipped with.
Galaxy S25 Slim, a small ultra to look forward to?
The Galaxy S25 Slim is attracting attention as a model that maintains the performance of the existing Ultra model while further enhancing portability. If some of the key features of the Ultra Camera are adopted and the weight and thickness are reduced, it is likely to meet the needs of users who want a compact and powerful Galaxy model. We are very excited to see what kind of performance and design Samsung’s new attempt, the Galaxy S25 Slim, will hit the market with.
