Samsung revealed the Galaxy S25 series along with some intriguing new AI features at its eagerly anticipated “Galaxy Unpacked 2025” event. The official teaser for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a svelte smartphone with flat sides and an incredibly thin profile, was the highlight of the event, though.
Leaks
But Samsung isn’t the only one ready to dominate the slim phone market. According to leaks by popular tipster DigitalChatStation on Weibo, brands like Vivo, OPPO, and Xiaomi are gearing up to introduce their slim smartphones in 2025.
Slim Smartphones Launching
Major smartphone manufacturers including Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO may soon introduce their thin phones to rival Samsung, according to hints made by DigitalChatStation. Although there aren’t many specifics available, these phones are anticipated to be in the mid-range bracket, in contrast to the high-end Galaxy S25 Edge.
Adding to the excitement, there are rumors that Apple is developing a very thin iPhone 17 Air/Slim that will just be 5.5 mm thick. Accordingly, 2025 is looking to be the year of stylish cellphones as competition intensifies everywhere.
Battery Capacity
Battery capacity is one area where Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO are probably going to shine. According to reports, these companies might include larger batteries—more than 4,000mAh—in their thin phones. They would have an advantage over the next models from Apple and Samsung, which are expected to have batteries with capacities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 mAh.
Galaxy S25 Edge
What we now know about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is as follows:
Display: 6.7-inch screen with straight borders on four sides.
Processor: Driven by the 4.47GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset.
Battery: 3,786mAh battery rating (normal capacity: 3,900mAh).
Year of Slim Smartphones
The rivalry from Vivo, OPPO, Xiaomi, and even Apple will further increase the excitement in this market, as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is setting the standard for incredibly thin smartphones. Although leaks give us an idea of what’s to come, we won’t know how these brands compare until official announcements are made.
