Fans of ultra-thin smartphones will have the choice between two models in 2025: the Galaxy S25 FE or the iPhone 17 Slim. Except that according to new rumors, Apple’s phone could do very badly to Samsung’s in terms of price list.
- The price of the iPhone 17 Slim would start at $899, an advantageous price compared to Apple’s policy
- The ultra-thin smartphone could therefore stand out against the Galaxy S25 FE which also focuses on finesse
- The iPhone 17 Slim would be thinner than the Galaxy S25 FE which will focus on photography
The iPhone 17 Plus has solid arguments if we are to believe its technical sheet even if, unfortunately, it will be necessary to ignore certain major features of the Pro versions. According to the Wall Street Journal, It is in terms of price that Apple’s smartphone will do a lot of harm to the Galaxy S25 FE.
The price of the iPhone 17 Slim would really hurt the Galaxy S25 FE
The very informed Wall Street Journal explains that the iPhone 17 Slim could create a surprise with a starting price of $899. Which is not surprising since this smartphone would be designed to replace the Plus version. This is an attractive price based on Apple’s policy. Obviously, it could overshadow the Galaxy S25 FE. Particularly because the Cupertino company offers long-term monitoring for its phones which have a long life expectancy.
However, as explained previously, this attractive price for the iPhone 17 Slim is accompanied by a more modest technical sheet, particularly in terms of the camera. We talk a single 48 megapixel sensor and it is at this level that the Galaxy S25 FE will have solid arguments.
Its camera module is announced more efficient than the iPhone 17 Slim which would have better finesse. According to rumors, this model would be the thinnest in Apple’s history but as explained previously, with compromises to accommodate all the technology necessary for its operation.
iPhone 17 Slim or Galaxy S25 FE, you will have to make your choice
For fans of ultra-thin smartphones, it will be a difficult choice in 2025. One UI 7 or iOS 19? There too, operating systems will make the difference. While the iPhone 17 Slim will be presented in September if the Apple schedule is respected, ET News explains that the marketing of the Galaxy S25 FE is set for April or June 2025.
For all we know, the Galaxy S25 FE would have a 6.66-inch screen which would bring it closer to the dimensions of the Galaxy S25 Plus. So it seems that, as always, Samsung is offering a premium alternative without compromising the user experience. All in a refined format. See you in 2025 to learn more.
