Apple iPhone 17 Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim More Details Shared: Are These Devices Practical?

While Chinese smartphone makers are reportedly working on small-screen devices, the Cupertino-based Apple and South Korea-based Samsung are expected to unveil ultra-thin form factor devices in their upcoming flagship series. Following the previous update, an X tipster has shared more details concerning the Apple and Samsung ultra-thin smartphone models, raising concerns on whether they are practical or not.

Here’s more about it.

Apple iPhone 17 Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim – Practical or Not?

Based on the previous update that was shared, both the iPhone 17 Air and Galaxy S25 Slim are suggested to arrive with batteries that have capacities ranging in between 3,000 to 4,000 mAh, and are going to have a body thickness in between 5.xmm to 6.xmm. However, the tipster @Cartidise raises the question whether these two devices are practical or not.

As per what has been shared by the tipster, no one really cares about how slim a smartphone is and 8mm or 8.5mm are both still thin. However, compromising on battery capacity to offer an even more slim form factor is impractical in his opinion. He also notes that Apple and Samsung are likely not expected to bring Si/C batteries in the first iteration of these thin phones.

Furthermore, he adds that their positioning is also confusing. For instance Samsung as already-known will be unveiling four new smartphone models in its Galaxy S25 series this time, and without dropping the plus model, the brand is planning to sell the slim model alongside it. Probably, the slim model could be priced USD 100 lesser than the ultra model or USD 100 more than the plus model. Apple on the other hand has decided to not release a plus model, and it is said to be replaced with the iPhone 17 Air.

It still remains to be seen whether the tech world would welcome the upcoming iPhone 17 Air and Galaxy S25 Slim ultra-thin smartphones or not, because so far there seems to be no demand for such devices when compared with the demand for small-sized phones. And on top, compromising on battery life is emphasized as a huge compromise by the tipster, which might probably backfire for the two brands.
