The Galaxy S25 Slim, or whatever the final name is, may launch in 39 markets, according to a historically reliable source.

We can't help but note that the United States isn't mentioned among the territories. Of course, this isn't an entire list. 

Friday delivered a significant shocker: the Galaxy S25 Slim may not only be 'delayed' until May, but it may never come at all, at least in the United States. Rumors about this phone have been circulating for months, generating a lot of excitement, but it appears that its small, stylish form will not be available to everyone who has been anxiously awaiting its arrival.

According to the source, the Galaxy S25 Slim or Special Edition may be offered in 39 countries and territories, including:

• Afghanistan
• Australia
• Austria
• Brazil
• Caucasus
• Croatia
• Egypt
• France
• India
• Iraq
• Ireland
• Israel
• Kazakhstan
• Kenya
• Libya
• Malaysia
• Mexico
• Morocco
• Nigeria
• Pakistan
• Philippines
• Poland
• Portugal
• Russia
• Saudi Arabia
• Senegal
• Serbia/Montenegro
• Singapore
• Slovenia
• South Africa
• Srilanka
• Switzerland
• Thailand
• Tunisia
• Turkey
• UAE
• United Kingdom
• Uzbekistan

Previously, comparisons were drawn between the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which is exclusively available in South Korea (and China with cosmetic tweaks and a different name), and the S25 Slim. The S25 Slim may thus appear as a Special Edition or anything similar. So, if you're lucky enough to reside in one of the mentioned nations, the news above is certainly cause for celebration.

The Galaxy S25 Slim, also known as the Special Edition, has caused considerable controversy despite this, as have some of its leaked details. The reason for this is that it may not be significantly thinner than the standard Galaxy S25 devices that will be unveiled on Wednesday. According to rumors, the Galaxy S25 Slim will have a thickness of 6.4mm and will be priced and marketed in the same areas as the Galaxy S25 Plus and Ultra.

At first, it was anticipated that the Galaxy S25 Slim would compete with the speculated iPhone 17 Air, a very thin handset that would only be 5.5 mm thick. Both phones' smaller-than-expected batteries, a trade-off for their tiny profiles, will probably disappoint people who are anxious to show off their svelte, thin designs. Or who knows. It's possible that Samsung and Apple may surprise everyone by using silicon carbon batteries in their phones, a move that was inspired by the OnePlus 13.

Only a few days remain until Samsung's Galaxy S25 series launch, which is set for coming Wednesday. We could get a teaser for the Slim Galaxy, but I'm starting to doubt that we'll even hear about it at this point.
