Samsung Galaxy S25 Leaks: Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch a fresh model in its Galaxy S25 lineup — a new “Slim” edition that will join the standard Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models. If the reports hold, the Galaxy S25 Slim could make its debut several months ahead of Apple’s rumoured iPhone 17 Slim/Air, giving Samsung an early edge in this segment.

Rumours surrounding the Galaxy S25 lineup indicate that the company will introduce two eye-catching new colours for the S25 and S25+ models, referred to as “Sparkling” hues. As Samsung's official reveal approaches, leaks and details have been steadily surfacing, building anticipation around the upcoming flagship series.

Here’s what we know so far about the Galaxy S25 lineup:

• The standard Galaxy S25 models reportedly carry the model numbers SM-S931 (Galaxy S25), SM-S936 (Galaxy S25+), and SM-S938 (Galaxy S25 Ultra).
• Smartprix suggests a fourth model, SM-S937U, which is thought to be the Galaxy S25 Slim’s US variant.

• This new model, allegedly with the model number SM-S937U, appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. However, its full name remains unclear as the database lists it simply as “Galaxy” — possibly to prevent leaks on Samsung’s part.
• According to reports, this device could be the U.S. version of the Galaxy S25 Slim, though no official confirmation on the model’s name has emerged.

Expected Launch Timeline

Samsung typically registers its devices in the GSMA IMEI database about six to seven months prior to their market launch, allowing ample time for testing. Reports suggest the Galaxy S25 Slim will launch in the second quarter of 2025, potentially between April and June, following the main Galaxy S25 lineup. If this timeline is accurate, the Galaxy S25 Slim will compete with Google’s Pixel 9a and Apple’s anticipated iPhone SE 4.

Ultra-Level Camera Features

Though specific details are sparse, well-known tipster Ice Universe hints that the Galaxy S25 Slim might feature an “Ultra” camera, possibly delivering a setup close to that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra or even surpassing the optics of the standard S25 models.
