    Signs of the end.
    LG before they close shop announced ThinQ.
    Samsung following suit with SXX Slim.

      Minu, 13 Jan 2025Also, they should make the change to Si/C batteries instead... moreThat's why I've decided to go with the OnePlus 13 instead, my first OnePlus phone since the OP 7 Pro.

        mawlki, 13 Jan 2025More and more people around me go s24 size for a phone, so ... moreAlthough I personally like smaller phones, I doubt people getting the regular Galaxy S for the size. Most people I've seen got the regular Galaxy S because it's the cheapest from the lineup. If they were given the option of larger screen for the same price, they would opt for larger screen.

        There are even rumors that Samsung would discontinue the regular Galaxy S model starting with the S26, meaning the "smallest" option would either be the S26+ or S26 slim. It's sad, but unfortunate reality.

Samsung is perceived by the public as the flag bearer of Android, the main competitor to Apple. As such, Samsung has to maintain product and feature parity with Apple. If not, people will wonder "what? How come Samsung didn't do that?", and it will hurt Samsung's brand value.

          And that's a good thing. It's called competition. We are at peak smartphone. It's easy to just pack in everything including the kitchen sink into a big and bulky phone. But put a limitation on it, ie thinness, and innovation will arise. Look at the Macbook Air. When Jobs announced it at the first time, it was laughed at. People were saying "who wanted something that thin?" Fast forward, it jumpstarted the ultrabook initiative, forcing AMD to improve efficiency (forget intel, they sucked), forcing Apple to innovate with Apple Silicon, and now we have Snapdragon X Elite. Somebody had to take the first step.

            How come even their marketing ends up being stark copies of each other?
            Isn't there any other innovation except being slim? Don't these similarities (in a gap of mere days) shock you?

            Either what I said, or, they have spies working for each other. Kinda feels odd.

              Pesugihan Cabir Pro, 13 Jan 2025Even with boasting said slimness, most of the regular peopl... moreA slim phone + case will still be thinner than a regular phone + case.

                Lister, 13 Jan 2025This is the solution to the year on year incremental update... morePeople have not been doing yearly upgrades for years. It's not a new trend. Any flagship within the last 5 years are fine doing regular tasks today. We are at peak smartphone in terms of the minimum required performance for regular tasks have been greatly exceeded.

                  Sam N8 808 owner, 13 Jan 2025I for one think that the entire mobile industry is controll... moreLoosen up your tin foil hat. It's called natural progression of the tech. New battery tech has been demonstrated by Vivo where you can pack in higher density cells into a thinner chassis. Apple design is obvious, when there's a way to make something thinner, they will. As the main perceived competitor, Samsung has to do feature parity, thus they have to offer a slim phone as well.

                  If you want bulky and heavy phone, then stick with Samsung A or FE series.

                    I for one think that the entire mobile industry is controlled centrally, and they're doing a very bad job at hiding this.

                    Last year, both iPhone and Samsung flagships were crazy for satellite communication.
                    Suddenly this year, both are crazy for "thin" phones.
                    Next year, maybe both will be crazy for lighter weight, who knows?

                    This is despite the fact that it takes months to develop a product.. and customers have preference differences, they're not alike.

                    What the hell is happening? Who's controlling them, NSA? USA? Illuminati?

                      mrkubix, 13 Jan 2025No one wants a smaller phone, that's the marker realit... moreMore and more people around me go s24 size for a phone, so under 150mm. Granted that is a whole lot bigger then the iphone mini format. I think it is an excellent balance between visibility and portability. Really a lot of people didnt ask for 16 cm tall and 76mm broad phones. It is fun to play around with these large screens and for some people it is kinda a daytime job.. Many now feel like its enough give me a smaller one and other productive stuff id rather do on a laptop or tablet with an actual physical keyboard and GET THINGS DONE and stop playing around with these clumsy behemoths of phones, which are still just toys.

                        This is the solution to the year on year incremental updates every phone manufacture offers?
                        No wonder people don't upgrade so often now.
                        I feel the new think craze will take some time to be worth upgrading too, a bit like foldables (which I think still need some work)

                          What to expect? Easy answer.

                          I expect Galaxy S25 Slim to be sold with higher units than any mediocre chinese flagship.

                            Zendroid, 13 Jan 2025What to expect? Easy 'will it bend' fail. It is not an iPhone. Samsung has engineers with proper education.

                                        People prioritize battery and performance over thinness. This device is bound to suffer in stamina and thermals. For what? This is the creatively bankrupt Samsung trying to leapfrog Apple before they release the 17 Slim.
