Those who are in search of a top-tier camera that is both compact and sleek might have stumbled upon the Vivo X200 Pro Mini, although it seems unlikely that it will be released globally. On the other hand, the Oppo Find X8 Pro has also aimed for the thinnest design possible. However, the real contenders in the race for slimness aren’t expected to be unveiled until 2025.
Upcoming iPhones
For several months, there have been whispers and speculation from analysts regarding Apple's future slim model, potentially named the iPhone 17 Air, which is set to replace the iPhone 16 Plus next year. Reports from the South Korean publication ETNews indicate that making the device thinner will be a major focus. The report also mentions that the telephoto lenses will be exclusive to the two Pro versions of the iPhone 17 in 2025, meaning that both the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Slim will not feature a dedicated zoom camera.
Samsung's Plan
Samsung is also gearing up to emphasize thinner designs for its premium smartphones in 2025. Earlier insights suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a marginally reduced thickness. Instead of a direct upgrade to the Galaxy S24 FE (currently available on Amazon), it appears that Samsung is likely preparing to introduce a "Galaxy S25 Slim" in the upcoming year, which will still boast a flagship camera, as noted by the reliable leaker Ice Universe.
