Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim plans hit a roadblock

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim

Samsung is reportedly facing technical hurdles in Galaxy S25 Slim development. The company is said to be having issues with supply chain and components partners, leading it to end up skipping the adoption of evolving technologies.

According to the info, Samsung could skip adopting the next-gen PCB in Galaxy S25 Slim. Meanwhile, a new kind of battery is rumored to be used in the limited edition smartphone, while capacity improvements are unlikely.

The source disclosed that Samsung may not be able to bring a planned battery upgrade to the Slim variant. This is because of the delay in mass production of the substrate by applying new materials and techniques.

The reason is that thinner circuit boards could not be commercialized next year. Samsung has allegedly planned to reduce the S25 Slim by using a thinner PCB plate and a slimmer battery with increased height and width.

The battery aspect could see a revamp from the conventional solution. It is reported that the S25 Slim’s battery could feature a different form of cell and material. It will help Samsung marginally reduce the phone’s overall thickness.

Previous Reports

Galaxy S25 Slim may not replace Samsung’s next Fan Edition smartphone. The S25 Slim is said to be produced in limited quantities. There’s no genuine data on what sleek the phone would be in terms of dimensions.

The S25 Slim may not be released alongside the Galaxy S25 series early next year. Samsung may opt for a mid-year timeframe to bring the slimmer model. That said, the S25 lineup will continue the legacy with three models.

A tipster claimed that the S25 Slim will feature a 200-megapixel camera. The other camera specs could be equivalent to the S25 including a 12-megapixel ultrawide, a 10-megapixel telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel selfie snapper.

itel launches S25 Ultra clones before Samsung even drops the real thing

iTel S25 Ultra

itel just launched Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra clones before Samsung drops the real thing. The next-gen Galaxy flagships will be announced early next year. Meanwhile, itel tried to gain some attention on the name of Samsung’s flagships.

The Galaxy S25 series will be equipped with top-notch hardware capabilities. Advanced Galaxy AI features will help them stand tall against rivals. Copying the name is easy but there’s no comparison between itel and Samsung’s S25 Ultra.

Last year, itel launched the S24 series in certain markets. Now, the company come up with the S25 and S25 Ultra, which even cost less than Samsung’s affordable phones. itel copied the possible camera arrangement and brought a curved screen.

iTel S25 Ultra

itel S25 and S25 Ultra come with flat AMOLED and curved AMOLED screens, respectively. The phones get a 50MP main camera, 32MP selfie snapper, 5000mAh battery as well as IP54 splash resistance.

The itel S25 and S25 Ultra models are available for purchase in the Philippines. The S25 starts at PHP 5,799 (~ $110), while the S25 Ultra starts at PHP 10,999 (~ $210) for 8GB RAM + 128GB/256GB storage configuration.

People may find the itel S25 and S25 Ultra good deals in the budget segment. The company managed to steal the design aesthetics very well this time. However, it will still feel far from the real thing that Samsung may bring in 2025.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Release

Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 Ultra in January 2025. The flagship will be equipped with a high-profile display, Qualcomm’s most powerful processor, an upgraded ultrawide camera, new Galaxy AI features, and a refined design.

The Note-like boxy appearance will be ditched in the S25 Ultra. Rather, Samsung is reportedly opting for a Note 20-like design approach with minimal rounds on corners. The camera rings may also be inspired by the Z Fold 6’s.

Samsung Tri-Fold phone won’t remain a dream

Published

Huawei Mate XT Tri Fold Phone

Huawei recently launched the world’s first tri-fold smartphone with dual folding screens. Samsung is also working on its tri-fold phone, which will be released internationally, unlike the China-exclusivity of Huawei’s Mate XT smartphone.

Samsung seemingly speeding up its work on the tri-fold phone. The company has got approval on a patent in the US Patent Office, as spotted by MSPoweruser. The move suggests that Samsung wants to commercialize a tri-fold in the future.

The patent teases what a triple-folding Galaxy device might look like. Notably, the company submitted a patent application on date backing in July 2021. The authority has now approved the submission and published it on the database.

Samsung’s potential Tri-Fold phone could open once to a small tablet size and then extend again to reveal an even larger display. The aim is to offer the experience of a regular bar phone, a tablet, and a laptop through a single handset.

Samsung Tri-Fold

Simply put, the Galaxy Tri-Fold could be a replica of the Huawei Mate XT in terms of form factor and functionality. As Samsung is entering the market late, it’s working on an even more flexible panel with increased durability.

The work to lessen strain is also underway, to this end, the panel could get an anti-reflective layer. It may help with visibility and incorporating “at least one of stainless steel, invar, glass, and a titanium alloy” which could potentially help with durability.

At CES last year, Samsung Display showcased several prototypes with innovative form factors. The array also included a tri-fold device referred to as Flex S. Approval on the patent should finally bring the dream Tri-Fold Galaxy to reality.
