Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim specs leak shows the iPhone 17 Air has a thing or two to learn

20 December 2024
Samsung's phone seemingly doesn't sacrifice a lot to achieve its slender profile.

Sort by:

Samsung isn't original enough to go down to 1 camera. As a result their thin phone will be thicker. Great

    Apple uses a small battery, small sensor AND their telephoto technology is quite efficient with the space. So no need to make excuses

The 13 Pro is significantly heavier than the 12 Pro and slightly thicker. The 16 Pro is wider and taller than the 15 Pro and heavier as well. If they included the bigger telephoto cameras immediately but wanted to keep the size and weight of the 12 Pro and 15 Pro, that would leave less space for battery and people would complain about battery life (which they already did on those mentioned phones). Because the 12 Pro and 15 Pro already got smaller than their predecessors, with the 12 Pro because of thinner design and the 15 Pro because of smaller bezels, Apple would not want to sacrifice even more battery for a bigger telephoto camera.

        It’s entirely possible that for example, this will be 6.9mm and about 200g while the iPhone could be 6.1mm and 150g. in this case, the iPhone would be in a different league of thinness. You can not compare specs with the current state of leaks because it’s so rough and so much is unknown.

          Around 4700mAh to 5000mAh on a body with under 7mm thickness? I'll believe it if Samsung adopts the silicon carbide battery type.

                  S24 FE has been a flop, dropped in price more than $150 in my country since launch,
                  Because of cheaper alternative like xiaomi 14t pro and iqoo13.

                    a one big list of complaints to save you the effort: too thin, too big, too heavy, underpowered and overpriced, big bezels, hole in display, no micro SD, no 3.5 jack, battery too small, does it overheat?-yes, it does!ok-i but ill buy iphone 11 instead because its on the similar price🙈

Like clockwork man no one comments on it but they just blindly eat it uplol

                        NeonHD, 21 Dec 2024The single camera was definitely a very conscious decision.... moreThis is typical pattern of Apple whenever they announce a new design. The focus will be on the design, with certain spec actually being scaled back. Then on the next iteration, they would bring back what the first gen lacks as an upgrade to entice enthusiasts to upgrade again.

                        Macbook Air 11", the first version came with Core 2 Duo chip. It's not until the 2nd version where Apple used the Core i series. iPhone 6/6 Plus, only had 1GB of RAM (the same as the 5s), "fixed" with the 6s with 2GB of RAM. I can go on and on.

                        Expect the 18 Air to come with ultrawide as they would laud it as a big deal.

                          Still waiting for the s25 pocket phat. 5" square screen with zero bezels and a 5000 mah battery.

                            CompactLover, 21 Dec 2024gonna need to see what is this "slim" competition... moreI have read a rumour that the s25 slim will be a test phone, which will help them decide the design and specs of the s26 series (I also read s26 series is in for a big change, but same was said for s25).

                              why are these dumbasses making the base phone bigger? the s23 was such a nice size. samsung is shooting themselves in the foot.

                                  They're going to launch a phone no one asked for, that no one will buy, just to try to copy Apple before Apple presents their own useless phone no one asked for.

                                  God, I miss DJ Koh...

The additional camera modules would take up a lot of space. Apple is prioriitising battery life in their phones now.

                                      days when google released a long line of single camera on pixel phones justifying their approch with computational photography.

                                      we could see similar thing with iphone 17 air as we're in ai-era. may apple have something that surprise everyone. as they've better track record than google on image processing.

                                      samsung is becoming better at software (flagship phones hardware are always good) compare to google android stock features.

                                      hoping in race of thinness they don't fall like note 7 fiasco.
                                      want samsung to lead android better than microsoft for windows.

                                      ps: may project moohan could be first step in that direction.

                                        Both copy each other. Not a bad thing overall. They improve a lot.
