S25 Slim... Is Thinner Really Better?

So, it seems like the S25+ could have had better camera specs if it were a bit thicker, but Samsung chose to cut costs instead.

Yeah, they’re messing up their other phones for this slim gimmick.

I don’t get it, they’ve been using the same camera hardware for years now.

Doesn’t even look that thin.

Is it unpopular to want a thicker phone? Like 10mm thick? That would give them more room for better stuff like:

  • Thicker selfie cam
  • More battery
  • Better cooling
  • Bigger speakers
  • More space for top-tier sensors

Why are they going backwards? Am I the only one who thinks this?

I care more about durability and functionality than having a phone that’s paper thin.

I always use a case anyway, which makes it feel like a brick.

I prefer using cases, not skins, because I dislike how thin phones are.

I wouldn’t mind a little more thickness if it were a flip phone.

I like the comfort of flip phones, but I need durability. Maybe if there was a case to keep it secure in my pocket, it could work. I’d just use Galaxy Buds for calls.

I just wish they would make an S25 Plus with ultra specs, minus the S Pen. The phone is thin enough already. I just want a smaller screen and size.

Isn’t this basically just a thinner S25+? A few millimeters thinner, that’s all.

13

In a world where other brands are using better batteries and sensors, Samsung is sticking to just making a thin phone. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this is silly?

It’s out in the second half of the year.

Jerry’s about to find something new to break again.

This is literally just the S25 Plus with a different name.

Better camera setup though.

But any Chinese flagship will probably be cheaper and better in every way. :smirk:

So this is their excuse for not increasing the battery like their competitors?

Wait, so this is just a thinner S25? Aren’t phones already thin enough?
