Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S25 Slim, the thinnest model in the S25 lineup, with a limited global release. Pakistani Samsung fans can rejoice as the S25 Slim is confirmed to be available in Pakistan, though it will skip major regions like the U.S., Canada, and several European countries.

S25 Slim Availability Details
The Galaxy S25 Slim will be available in the following locations:
Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, France, India, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Türkiye, the UAE, the UK, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and the Caucasus region.
Key Markets Missing
Surprisingly, some major markets will not receive the S25 Slim, including:
- United States
- Canada
- China
- Germany
- Italy
- Spain
- South Korea (Samsung’s home country)
This means the S25 Slim will not be launched with U.S. carrier partnerships and will be unavailable in key regions. The reason for this restricted release remains unclear.
Delayed Launch Timeline
Rumored to measure only 6.4mm in thickness, the Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be the sleekest model in the S25 lineup. However, it will not launch alongside the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, which are set to debut at Samsung’s Unpacked event on January 22, 2025.
The S25 Slim’s launch is expected to follow later in the year, possibly in May 2025.
Focused Market Strategy
Despite its limited availability, the S25 Slim will be launched in more markets than the regionally restricted Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. Samsung seems to be targeting markets with a higher demand for ultra-thin smartphones, aiming to cater to niche preferences with this focused approach.
Conclusion
The Galaxy S25 Slim represents a bold step in Samsung’s product lineup, emphasizing sleek design and strategic regional availability. Further details are anticipated at Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event.
