Samsung’s first Unpacked event of the year is just around the corner, set to take place on January 22. The firm will unveil the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra during next week’s event. It may also launch additional products, or at least tease a few. The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to make a cameo appearance at the event. A new report gives us a possible release timeline for this sleek flagship model.
Galaxy S25 Slim may skip a full launch at Unpacked
Samsung is preparing a “Slim” flagship this year. The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to offer top-tier specs, including Ultra-grade cameras, in a sleek profile. Leaks suggest it will share a lot with other S25 models but still have its specialties. However, there is some confusion regarding its launch. While some reports say Samsung will unveil the Slim model during Unpacked, others suggest it will arrive later.
Considering the lack of information about it, the theory of a delayed launch seems more likely. Samsung might briefly tease the Galaxy S25 Slim at next week’s Unpacked event but could hold off on a full launch. Adding fuel to this speculation, X user @ZionsAnvin recently suggested that the Slim model is expected to go official in May 2025. While the user didn’t disclose the source of this information, the claim appears plausible.
Launching the Galaxy S25 Slim at Unpacked could cannibalize Galaxy S25 Ultra sales. Samsung would want to give its regular flagships a free run in the market for a few months before introducing another flagship. It could reveal the release timeline for the Slim at Unpacked. We will keep you informed.
