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.

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.

Google Messages may soon let you check whether a photo in your chat is fully AI-generated, edited with AI, or shot straight from a camera with no software adjustments.

Google is building an AI image detection feature into Messages that would let users check whether photos shared in a conversation were created or edited using AI, according to Android Authority. The feature is not live yet, but code strings found in a recent beta release of the app point to a C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) Content Credentials integration.
