The next big thing in traditional smartphone design will be a significant reduction in thickness, something we’ve already witnessed with foldable devices. It’s happening next year, with the iPhone 17 Air being the ultra-thin phone that keeps appearing in leaks and rumors.
But we won’t have to wait until September to see an ultra-thin phone in action. Samsung has probably heard the rumors, too. Unsurprisingly, a Galaxy S25 Slim is coming. The thinner Galaxy S25 flavor will be unveiled at Unpacked if recent rumors are accurate. But it might not hit stores until the second quarter of 2025.
By the time the iPhone 17 Air actually launches, Samsung will be able to brag that it was the first to launch an ultra-thin, non-foldable flagship phone. Of course, this is the same company that could not make an ultra-thin foldable until this fall.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Slim might turn out to have a massive advantage over the iPhone 17 Air, one that some buyers might appreciate. The ultra-thin phone might feature a multi-lens camera, while the iPhone 17 Air is said to have just a single rear-facing lens.
