Are you waiting for those thin and light smartphones that fit perfectly in your hand? Then there is good news for you! Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, formerly known as S25 Slim, made a grand entry at the 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event. Along with this, flagship models like Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra were also launched. Now news is coming that brands like Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are also preparing to launch their thin smartphones in this direction.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Design and Features
Talking about its design and features, Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is going to be the thinnest variant of the Galaxy S25 series. This phone will come with a 6.7-inch flat screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC processor and 3,900mAh battery. Its design will be quite stylish and premium with 8.3mm camera module and 6.4mm thickness.
Let us tell you that a popular tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has revealed that Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are preparing to launch “ultra-thin” smartphones in 2025. These phones will be launched in the mid-range and sub-series categories.
The special thing is that the batteries of these phones will be better than the thin phones of Samsung and Apple. According to the report, these phones can come with a battery capacity of 4,500mAh or more.
iPhone 17 Slim
There is also news that like Samsung, Apple is also working on its iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17 Slim variant. This model will be the thinnest variant of the iPhone 17 series. However, talking about the battery, it can be between 3,000mAh to 4,000mAh.
Thinner design means less battery space. This is why phones like Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 17 Slim can come with smaller battery sizes. But Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo can win in this case, as their phones are likely to be given bigger batteries.
Launch date
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Expected to launch in May 2025.
- Ultra-thin phones from Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo: May launch by the end of 2025.
