If internet stories are anything to go by, it looks like 2025 could be the year of the ultra-slim phone. both of them Samsung and Apple is said to be working on an ultra-thin phone on its own, and although most of the leaks so far have been promising, some compromises will have to be made for the diet to work.

One trade-off for achieving the perfect supermodel waist is cutting down on carbs, and in our case, that means those sweet lithium-ion carbs, at least according to Digital Chat Station. In fact, the leaker says to expect much smaller batteries than expected for the device S25 Slim and iPhone 17 Air: Its batteries are said to range between 3,000 mAh to 4,000 mAh.

The post also suggests that the devices could be between 5.Xmm to 6.Xmm thick. We’ve already heard more concrete leaks about the two models, With the size of the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be about 6.4 mm, while The iPhone is rumored to be around 5.5mm thick.

We may have seen the trade-off in battery life coming, but it’s still disappointing. At least for me: Battery life is a big deal for me because I’m not a big fan of a phone with a battery that drains quickly.

The leaker did not specify which phone will have the exact battery capacity. I tend to believe it just because S25 Slim It will likely be thicker, and may have a battery cell closer to 4,000 mAh while the iPhone will likely lean towards the 3,000 mAh end of the spectrum.

Previous rumors about Galaxy S25 Slim He pointed to a battery cell closer to 5,000 mAh, but now that seems more like wishful thinking than it actually makes sense. Regarding the iPhone, no previous leaks have indicated what to expect in terms of battery, but iPhones tend to be very good at power management, so there is still some hope. As far as the earlier leaked details go,… iPhone 17 The air is still shrouded in mystery but we know some things – that It will likely replace the Plus model in the lineup and will likely be the thinnest iPhone yet. Another compromise to achieve the rumored thinness is the camera on the back.

Meanwhile, competitor from Samsung He’s expected to appear sometime in May (likely to be teased in the future). Galaxy event on January 22) and could come with a 6.7-inch display and a triple camera system.

I’m actually starting to wonder if this slim trend will ever be a thing or if it will just be hardware types. First, I know that using a smaller battery is a no-no for me, and I’m not even sure I want to use an ultra-thin device (mainly for fear of it falling). Anyway, we’ll have to wait and see how hot the battle between these two gets, and how many potential buyers will be interested in it.
