Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Likely to Miss Early 2025 Release

Published

on

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

Samsung may not release the Galaxy S25 Slim early next year. The company could stick to its usual launch strategy of introducing new Galaxy S flagships. The additional Slim-branded variant could come out a few months later.

According to MaxJambor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim won’t release alongside the Galaxy S25 lineup. The source confirmed that the S25 Slim “exists behind closed doors,” suggesting that the phone is still under consideration.

Apart from this, Max also claimed that the Galaxy S25 Slim won’t replace the Galaxy S25 FE. That said, pro-grade hardware specifications are highly likely on Samsung’s rumored Slim-branded flagship smartphone.

Max Jambor on Galaxy S25 Slim debut

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim exists behind closed doors, but if it’s set to launch at some point, it won’t be released alongside the rest of the S25 lineup.

IceUniverse recently revealed that the Galaxy S25 Slim could pack an “Ultra” camera. The cryptic X post hints at a 200-megapixel sensor on the S25 Slim. However, the other camera specifications remain yet to be known.

Recently, Samsung’s SM-S937U was spotted on the GSMA IMEI database. The model number hints at a fourth Galaxy S25 variant that could be Slim or Special Edition. The phone is said to feature a thinner design than the other S25 flagships.

Samsung is considering bringing the Galaxy S25 Slim to compete with Apple’s iPhone 17 Air. It is reported that Apple has finalized the iPhone 17 Air with a slimmer design and single camera, but it could replace the iPhone 17 Plus.

The South Korean tech giant might drop the first hint at the Galaxy S26 design with the Galaxy S25 Slim. Korean media reported that the S25 Slim’s market response will decide how Samsung will design the Galaxy S26 series to be released in 2026.

TSMC’s 3nm price hike set to impact Android flagships in 2025

Published

on

Snapdragon 8 Elite

Most upcoming Android flagships will use Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Qualcomm switched to a 3nm TSMC process node for the Snapdragon 8 Elite this year, and the chip production cost may further increase in 2025; impacting Android flagships too.

Recently, a Chinese tipster revealed on Weibo that TSMC will raise N4 and N3 process prices in 2025. Increased 3nm and 4nm TSMC chip costs could put pressure on Android flagships slated to come out in late 2025 to be pricey.

TSMC’s N3 (3nm) and N4 (4nm) processes could rise by 4%. As Qualcomm and MediaTek manufactured their latest flagship SoCs using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process, their product prices have risen significantly compared to the last year.

Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite cost increased by 15%, reaching $180. MediaTek has also produced the latest Dimensity 9400 on TSMC’s 3nm process node, however, the price is yet to be known.

If TSMC continues to increase production costs, all Android vendors in the cost aspect will also bear greater pressure, which possibly cause them to continue to adjust the smartphone’s selling price or adjust other aspects.

It’s worth mentioning that the Vivo X200 series starting price rose $41.90, the OPPO Find X8 series starting price rose $27.93, the Xiaomi 15 series starting price rose $69.83, Honor Magic 7 series starting price rose $13.97.

Samsung Foundry

Samsung will also utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite across the Galaxy S25 series. The company has been facing yield rate issues with its 3nm process. As a result, it’s nearly impossible to commence mass production that’s far below the threshold.
