The Samsung Galaxy S25 is just a few months away from launch, and we’ve been closely following its development and relaying any news we can get our hands on about what Samsung’s next flagship has in store. Well, now we have another exciting detail: there might actually be four phones in the S25 lineup, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.

The story broke on the South Korean news site ETNews but was shared with us by tipster Jukanlosreve on X (formerly Twitter). The S25 Slim, if it exists, isn’t likely to be released at the same time as the rest of the S25 lineup. Instead, it’s far more likely that Samsung will launch it a few months after the S25, maybe around April.

According to South Korean media, Samsung has decided to release a slim model as a follow-up to the Galaxy S25 series. If the response is positive, they are considering lineup changes for the S26 series.

I believe this will involve the adoption of the Exynos 2400 and a launch in…

While the news is somewhat surprising, it isn’t as much of a shock as it could be. With the recent Apple rumors that an iPhone 17 Slim might also be on the way, it’s natural that Samsung would look into creating a competitor of its own.

So, how thin might the S25 Slim be? That’s unclear, but considering that the Galaxy S24 is 7.6mm thick, it’s a safe assumption that the S25 Slim would be quite a bit more narrow. There’s another possibility that the S25 Slim might actually just be the S25 FE, but with a smaller frame.

We already know quite a bit about the S25’s specs and potential price, but there are still a lot of details that remain to be seen. There’s no guarantee the S25 Slim will come to fruition, especially if it’s the first in a new product line. Samsung might release it in only a few markets to measure how interested people are, but if it’s a success, the Galaxy lineup could look a lot different than it does now.

I've found it a little absurd that health apps from different companies and service providers refuse to communicate with each other, even when you're the one who owns the data. Google just took one small yet important step toward fixing it. 

Google Health version 5.05 started rolling out today. And compared to the last several releases, this one's fairly light, especially since it follows four crucial updates packed into June and July.

Google can’t catch a break as the Pixel 11 Pro leaks once again
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Google's Made by Google 2026 event is just around the corner, but at this point, it feels like the company has very little left to surprise us with.

The latest leak brings what appear to be official marketing renders of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, offering perhaps the clearest look yet at Google's upcoming flagship phones. Shared by well-known leaker Evan Blass, the images don't just show off the hardware — they also hint at camera upgrades, AI features, and the next-generation Tensor chip powering everything under the hood. While none of the images reveal anything dramatically unexpected, they do suggest Google is paying attention to one design complaint Pixel fans have had for years.

Samsung’s risky move with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is paying off threefold
Samsung’s passport-shaped Fold is leaving last year’s bestseller in the dust

For a brand that's stuck to safer updates for most of its annual updates, Samsung’s odd new passport-shaped foldable was a surprisingly risky move--and it seems like that gamble is paying off. Early demand suggests the company may have underestimated just how many buyers wanted something different.

According to a BusinessPost report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling at roughly three times the pace of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 during the comparable early sales period. Demand has reportedly caught Samsung off guard, leaving the company working to increase production and get more units into stores.
