Samsung to launch Galaxy S25 Slim or slimmer S25 FE next year

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE October 2024 update

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could introduce an innovative Slim design. The company is considering a slimmer design for the next Fan Edition. It could be made possible by expanding the battery size to prevent any drop in capacity.

South Korea’s TheElec reports that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could feature a Slim design. The smartphone is expected to get a 6.7-inch display. The battery capacity could also be the same as the S24 FE, which is 4700mAh.

Reducing smartphone thickness is a pretty difficult task for manufacturers. A small change or micrometer difference requires a lot of engineering work. Well, Samsung seemingly found a way to make its future Galaxies slimmer.

The Galaxy S25 FE could get a slimmer and larger battery in size. The capacity could remain intact, and a reduction in the battery’s thickness will help Samsung achieve the goal of reducing the phone’s thickness to make it slimmer.

Samsung has recently released the Galaxy S24 FE. The new variant comes with pretty much upgrades over its predecessor. It has a larger display, bigger battery, and upgraded display – but with a price increase of $50.

Now, the company is unlikely to modify these aspects in the next model. The focus could be on further refining the overall design. The camera department could see an upgrade with the inclusion of a next-gen Telephoto sensor.

The Galaxy S25 series is expected to be announced early next year. The S25 FE is approx a year away from now as we got the S24 FE released last month. We will get to know even more about the upcoming products in the future.

Galaxy S25 Series Specs (Expected)

Samsung’s next flagship lineup will have three models: a 6.2″ vanilla, a 6.7″ Plus, and a 6.9″ Ultra. While Standard and Plus are the same in size, the S25 Ultra’s screen could go slightly larger, up from 6.8″ of the S24 Ultra.

The company will be using Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC. There are also rumors of MediaTek Dimensity 9400 use in the Standard model. However, things will be cleared sequentially as we approach the tentative January release.

Samsung is also exploring new designs for the S25 series. A major overhaul isn’t likely but the frame and rear sides going iPhone-inspired. The S25 Ultra could be Samsung’s sleekest and nice-looking Ultra flagship in recent years.
