2025: Samsung embarks on innovation
After a rather dull period, Samsung is preparing for a year 2025 marked by experimentation. According to certain information, the Korean giant plans to renew its image by moving its premium range away from the Galaxy name.
A new “thin” model for the Galaxy S25 series?
A new rumor, originating from Korean media outlet etnews (via regular leaker Jukanlosreve), suggests that Samsung is working on a “slim” model for the Galaxy S25 series. However, the latter would not be launched at the same time as the main series. According to the report, the Galaxy S25 Slim would launch later this year as a follow-up product.
Unnamed industry sources said: “It is possible that they will release it in small quantities to assess the market response and modify the range next year. »
Is Samsung aiming for head-on competition with the iPhone 17 Slim?
The report suggests that Samsung is considering a slim model in response to the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Slim. This latest model would replace the Plus model in Apple's iPhone range. Aside from being thinner, it could also feature a smaller 6.6-inch display.
Both Apple and Samsung have been in a race to produce thinner phones in recent years, with Samsung promoting the Z Fold 6 as one of its thinnest phones. Apple, for its part, did not hesitate to praise the thinness of the iPhone 16 series compared to the previous year's models.
A new hope for Samsung
Samsung needs to reinvent its phone business, and the more we learn about 2025, the more it seems the company is looking for new ways to woo buyers. The adoption of the Exynos 2400 chipset, despite the difficulties encountered by Samsung in launching the new generation of these chips, could be another key factor in this experimentation strategy.
In conclusion, 2025 could be a pivotal year for Samsung as it tries to restore its image and reinvent itself in the face of competition.
