synopsis

Samsung's eagerly anticipated Galaxy S25 series will ship in a few days. On January 22, Samsung will launch its Galaxy S25 range, which will comprise the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is one new model, though, that has been making the rounds online due to leaks and rumors. The Galaxy S25 Slim, as its name implies, will be a stylish smartphone with all the flagship features found in other Galaxy S25 versions.

However, rumors about a thinner iPhone, known as the iPhone 17 Slim, have been around for a while. If rumors are to be believed, Apple may introduce this new model with the iPhone 17 series, replacing the Plus variant. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to make its debut in September of this year, based on Apple's iPhone launch schedule. But if there are so many leaks coming out, something's cooking! Neither Apple nor Samsung have said anything about these rumored devices, though!
