Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Likely to Miss Early 2025 Release

Published

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.

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.

Samsung Health Monitor Android 11 support

Samsung has announced that the Health Monitor app will no longer work on Galaxy smartphones running Android 11 or earlier. This change will take effect from 23 December 2024, when the next version of the app (1.4.1) is released.

After this date, users with smartphones running Android 11 or older will no longer be able to use some important features, especially when paired with a Galaxy Watch. These features include blood pressure, electrocardiograph (ECG) readings through the app, and more.

The fresh update of the Health Monitor app arrives with version 1.3.6.001, which includes a notification letting users know about this change. While the current version of the Samsung Health Monitor will continue to work on phones running Android 11 or older, users won’t get any new features or updates.

However, to access the full functionality of the Samsung Health Monitor app, including new features, will need to upgrade their phones to Android 12 or newer.

Samsung’s limited support for Android 12 and above shows the company is focusing on keeping the app compatible with newer hardware and software for optimal performance and security. Users with older phones are encouraged to update to a newer version of Android to continue using the full range of health features in the app.

If you’re using an older Galaxy phone and want to keep using the Samsung Health Monitor with all its features, you should consider upgrading your device. Samsung also recommends updating your Galaxy Watch to the latest software version for the best experience.

For users who can’t update their devices, the app will still work with limited features, but no further support or new features will be available.

Typically, the latest flagship models like the Galaxy S series (Galaxy S24 and S23) and sometimes newer foldable (Fold6 and Fold5) devices are included in the initial rollout of the One UI beta program. Older flagships and some mid-range models might also join the beta program later.

The beta program often starts in select regions with countries like the US, South Korea, India, and Germany being among the first to receive access. However, no exact schedule is provided for when each country will join.

Specifically, the One UI beta program in the US has been available through select carriers. T-Mobile often participates in Samsung’s One UI beta programs. It is among the first carriers to support beta versions in the US.

Additionally, unlocked Samsung Galaxy devices in the US can join the beta program. Other carriers like Verizon and AT&T don’t offer the beta program for the carrier-locked Galaxy devices. However, unlocked models on these networks can still participate in the beta program.

For the US, you can sign up through the Samsung Members app, which is necessary for participation. To get the beta, you need to follow this:

1. Download the Samsung Members app from the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store.
2. Log in with a Samsung Account.
