Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could have a huge advantage over the iPhone 17 Air — here’s why

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra cameras close up.

If you want to see a study in contrasts in how two different phone makers can approach the same concept, look no further than the rumors surrounding the Galaxy S25 Slim and the iPhone 17 Slim (aka (iPhone 17 Air). Both rumored devices sound like they're going to emphasize thin frames that make it easier to tote around a big-screen handset, but early reports suggest there may be more substance to what Samsung's working on.

That's the impression I get after hearing new reports about the cameras each device could feature. While things are far from official, it sounds like Samsung is looking to mimic the camera setup of its best camera phone with the Galaxy S25 Slim. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air/Slim's focus on thinness may limit what Apple can actually include on this new phone — and that covers the cameras as well.
