Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim Appears Online
The regular Galaxy S25 models reportedly have the model numbers: SM-S931 (S25), SM-S936 (S25+), and SM-S938 (S25 Ultra). Smartprix notes the company is working on a fourth new smartphone with the model number SM-S937U, where the ‘U’ at the end could mean it will be the US version.
The model number has appeared on the GSMA IMEI database. The database listing mentions the market name as just Galaxy, possibly because the company doesn’t want the actual name to come out. The Samsung SM-S937U is said to be the Galaxy S25 Slim US variant, although the moniker is not officially confirmed.
The report suggests that Samsung usually registers its devices in the GSMA IMEI database 6-7 months before the launch. This will give the brand enough time to test before officially launching. Smartprix notes the alleged Samsung S25 Slim will be announced in Q2 2025. This is months after the regular Galaxy S25 launches.

Apart from the Galaxy S25 Slim, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ are said to get two new colors: Sparkling Blue and Sparkling Green.
