There’s still plenty of uncertainty about the mysterious Galaxy S25 Slim and its release, but it appears the device believed to be the S25 Slim is still being tested out, as evidenced by a discovery made in an unreleased version of Samsung’s One UI 7 software.

Spotted in a test build of One UI 7 — which is currently in beta — is a reference to the SM-S937B, a model number which has been associated with the Galaxy S25 Slim. Regulatory submissions have helped us identify the model numbers for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra models, which all neatly continue on from the model numbers used for the Galaxy S24 series.

This is why the SM-S937B stands out as unusual. It fits in-between the model numbers used for the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, singling it out as a distinct model in the S25 line-up. The details in the software don’t reveal much else, aside from the devices being tested being made for the European, Indian, and various other regions. A version made for the U.S., normally identified with the letter U at the end of the model number, was not seen in this version of the software.

Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S25 series during its Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, and for a while the Slim version was expected to be on stage, but more recent information has pointed to a later announcement, potentially around May 2025. However, i’s entirely possible Samsung may use the January Galaxy Unpacked event to tease the Galaxy S5 Slim.

The final version of One UI 7 will almost certainly be installed on the Galaxy S25 series, and based on videos about Galaxy AI, experiences with the beta version, the exciting new Now Bar, and information leaked about Galaxy AI, it’s going to be pivotal to the phone’s success. We’ll learn all about it, and possibly the Galaxy S25 Slim, on January 22.

With the Samsung Galaxy S25 series now available, the company's attention is turning to its next handset, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The phone is expected to be a game-changer and will likely be marketed against Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air. Now we know better when the Samsung phone could be released.

According to tipster Max Jambor (via Android Headlines), the new phone should be available for purchase during the year's second quarter. Previous rumors suggested the phone would be available sometime around April, so the tip seems to confirm this.

Android Authority discovered that one of those new features is “suggested replies.” The feature, available for the Samsung Keyboard, uses on-device AI models to offer potential responses to messages you receive.

This is why I love Circle to Search on the Galaxy S25 series

Since the Galaxy S24 series was launched last year, phone makers have focused heavily on adding AI to every facet of their smartphones. Apple launched Apple Intelligence last year — which brought a different, more personal, approach to AI with the iPhone 16 — a few months after Google unveiled Gemini for Android.

Despite Google waiting to launch the full suite of Gemini features for a few months, one of the key features had already launched on the Galaxy S24. Circle to Search allows you to search for anything displayed on your screen using AI, and as I discovered when selling my mother’s home last year, it makes it super easy to understand the value of items without needing to search for them by name.
