Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Slim is set to debut in the second half of 2025, which promises a significant leap in camera technology while emphasizing a sleek, thin form factor. According to recent leaks from Ice Universe and Sanju Chaudhary, the S25 Slim will offer flagship-level camera capabilities potentially positioning itself as a mid-season upgrade to replace the S25 FE
Camera Specifications
- Main Camera: A 200MP ISOCELL HP5 sensor is expected, with conflicting reports about its size (1/1.56″ vs. 1/1.3″). The HP5 has also been linked to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7.
- Ultra-Wide and Telephoto Cameras: Both will reportedly use the 50MP ISOCELL JN5 sensor (1/2.76″, 0.64µm pixels).
- Telephoto Zoom: Features 3.5x optical zoom using Samsung’s innovative All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) design.
ALoP Telephoto Design
Samsung’s ALoP technology flips the traditional periscope design by placing the lenses in front of the prism rather than behind. This innovative approach makes the telephoto module shorter and thinner, aligning with the S25 Slim’s emphasis on a compact and lightweight build.
Position in Samsung’s Lineup
The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to fill the gap left by the S25 FE, offering high-end features in a more accessible package. Its success could shape the design and features of the S26 series, hinting at a broader trend toward slim and lightweight flagships with cutting-edge features.
The combination of advanced imaging hardware, sleek design, and Samsung’s push for innovation makes the Galaxy S25 Slim an intriguing addition to their portfolio. More details are expected as its launch approaches.
