Yep they sure are. Also very pleased to see the ridiculous fixation on cameras taking a break as well.

No, it's going to have thermal management issues.

No, stop with the thinning trend of the phones. Make it thick so the camera bump disappear and the phone is usable while laying flat on the table. Who really cares about 1 or 3 mm extra thickness. Put bigger battery in.

Prefer better battery life, don't even mind phone becomes a little thicker.

Even before Apple released the iPhone 16, rumors were swirling about an alleged iPhone 17 Slim or Air. It should be an underpowered model with just a single camera and a much slimmer design than other modern iPhones. The shocking part of these reports is that the slim iPhone 17 will be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.


New rumors say that Samsung plans to follow suit with a slim Galaxy S25. The phone will be based on Samsung’s flagship models but should have a slimmer body. It is not yet clear how its specs would compare to the top dogs, but it is possible that they’ll be worse. After all, the focus is on a slim design, so some corners must be cut.


That raises many questions. Do we need slimmer phones right now? Would people be ready to pay more for underpowered devices only because of better design? Are the tradeoffs of a slimmer and lighter smartphone worth it? Even if Apple can pull this off, is it smart for Samsung to do the same? Share your thoughts, and what device would you prefer to get instead of an iPhone or a Galaxy Slim?


We want large batteries, not thin phones. Also, I'm not buying a smart watch until the battery can last a full weekend fri-monday.

"ridiculous fixation on cameras" is a stretch.

What do you think of touch screen gloves while using mobile? They make a person look stylish and also protect hands from cold in winters.
