The ball has been rolling on the Internet for weeks Samsung is reportedly working on a new phone that would join the Galaxy S25 series. If we don’t count the potential Galaxy S25 FE, this mysterious smartphone would be the fourth of the e family It would be located between the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Everyone popularly knows it as “Galaxy S25 Slim”, although only minor rumors have spread about it so far. However, this has barely changed.
A leak confirmed this The Galaxy S25 Slim exists and will be the fourth model of the Galaxy S25. How did you find out and how are you so sure it’s this phone? Because it has been officially entered into one of the most important databases in the world within this market.
The Galaxy S25 Slim has been detected in the GSMA IMEI database
You probably know this, but all cell phones in the world have at least two names which allow its recognition: the commercial name (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra) and the model number (SM-S928). The latter is the least known, but probably the most important for pre-launch rumors and leaks.
The reason? Why The model number is the one registered in large databases of the planet and in front of all the certifying bodies. The entire process happens before launch, allowing leakers to do their job.
An example of this is what the team of Smartprixwho revealed it Samsung has registered a fourth Galaxy S25 in the IMEI database of the GSM Association (GSMA). Specifically, The registered model is SM-S937.
How do we know it’s a new Galaxy S25? Why Samsung has already registered the other versions below the SM-S931 (S25), SM-S936 (S25+) and SM-S938 (S25 Ultra) models. It’s the same basic nomenclature and since the numbering is right between S25+ and S25 Ultra, it’s not hard to think of the much-rumored Galaxy S25 Slim.
The GSMA is the most important institution in the global mobile market, so it already is We can assume that the Galaxy S25 Slim will be a reality. Will it have that name? We don’t know, but it definitely exists.
Furthermore, the registration of these devices in the IMEI database sheds light on a possible launch window. The Galaxy S25 is expected to be presented between April and May 2025as Samsung registers its mobile phones approximately six months before their market launch.
Now, Is this the only thing we know about the Galaxy S25 Slim? There’s something else.
The Galaxy S25 Slim will at least have an “Ultra” camera.
In case you didn’t know, the “Slim” feature of this Galaxy S25 goes hand in hand with another rumor: anticipate the possible launch of the iPhone 17 Slim. However, the truth is that we know very little about what this device will look like.
If it is really a “Slim” model, the logical thing would be for it to be thinner. This usually involves sacrifices, especially on the battery, which is the easiest part to cut to save space. The batteries follow cameras, which tend to suffer large cutsbut it looks like that won’t be the case this time.
The famous and highly reliable leaker Ice universe revealed that the fourth Galaxy S25 would not suffer from this problem. He did this through his account on X, where he secured it The Galaxy S25 Slim will have an “Ultra” camera..
This doesn’t confirm that it will have exactly the same cameras as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the main one should. The Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra have a 200MP main camera, so we don’t expect anything different on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Therefore, the Galaxy S25 Slim is also expected to have a 200 MP main sensor.
This It would make a lot of sense to see the S25 Slim’s position in the catalog from Samsung, as the camera jump between the Plus and Ultra models tends to be huge. Now there will be a middle point, something that many will surely appreciate.
Has anything else leaked? Not at the moment, but we will be attentive to any news on this mysterious device.
