Please request them to make a phone that doesn't create green line issue in display. Hard earned money is wasted.

If S25+ was like 8.5mm, then a 6.5mm version for example would be attractive.
But down from 7.3?
Waste of resources.

When Slim phone is not slim enough to justify its nameplate....What an irony!
All this with significantly compromised battery & somewhat average overall specsheet.
Hope this shit fails miserably or their entire board of Chairmdn fall on their heads so that they can return to their senses.

Fire Smeller, 17 Jan 2025This is solely because a major competitor is doing it, and ... morecorrect, Samsung trying to be androids version of apple.. which for me at least is driving me back towards apple coming from the s23 as no one wants the cheaper replica (imo at least anyways)..
and this thin phone you LITERALLY wouldn't notice the difference unless being told prior.. i almost feel embarrassed rocking a Sammy phone these days. far out..

samsung has already been releasing the world's slimmest flagship for years. why do they want to make them even slimmer, instead of fitting bigger batteries and camera sensors in the extra internal space they created?

It being slim isn't really a selling point, and it's not even slim enough compared to the other devices in the S series, but it's likely going to have terrible battery life, and it will be extremely expensive. Truly pointless.

More Battery would be so much more useful than this thin-trend.
Even 9mm thickness is fine if the rear edges are curved (e.g. OnePlus Nord 2 5G) and the phone will be in a case anyway and has a protruding camera assembly.
Dear Manufcturers: please ensure
- sufficient battery to go 24h at Battery EOL (80%) with a real heavy usage profile:
--- 3-4 hours of GPS navigation at full brightness,
--- a few hours Videos /Scrolling apps
--- constant BT music
--- all on 5G at bad reception (not wifi)
- rounded rear corners and not too much width for easy grip
- camera bump placement so the phone doesn't wobble when it's lying on the table and you're typing
This thinness is such an annoying feat to achieve.
@GSMArena: Updating your battery tests to the mentioned 'real heavy usecase' would be cool :) (even if it's hard to create a reproduceable 5G situation; maybe use metal coated glass (thermo-windows) as a box to simulate it).

My S24+ is already super thin at 7.7mm, I am even nervous to hold it without a case. Having something even thinner is crazy!

The slim model should have had fast charging, as a compensation for lower battery capacity.

Jzgerardus, 17 Jan 2025Cant wait for the S27 Thicki genuinely am onboard with this idea, would love a thick phone that's packed to the brim with battery and top tier camera hardware. Like 9-12 mm. The camera bumps are huge anyways, why not fill it up with battery yk?

So much hype for literally nothing. Doesn't even justify removing the audio jack.
