Samsung Galaxy S25 series could get a ‘Slim’ model, seamless updates, thermal throttling control | Tech Tips

We have a series of interesting news to share about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup. Despite reports of poor yields, Samsung confirms it will continue shipping Exynos 2500 SoC, possibly in the S25 series. Meanwhile, a trusted tipster has also claimed the Galaxy S25 series could support seamless updates. We also get details about new OneUI 7 features including Galaxy AI and thermal throttling control.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series: Exynos or not? 

While the 3nm Exynos 2500 SoC has been reported to have low yields compared to its competitors, Samsung’s foundry arm, the System LSI Business unit has said that it will be “supplying SoCs for flagship products of a major customer (likely Samsung) while preparing for next-generation 2nm products”.

Meanwhile, as per the Korean publication Chosunmedia, the company is also sunsetting its manufacturing units for 4nm, 5nm, and 7nm processes. It has already discontinued over 30 percent and could shut down about 50 percent of the production capacity by the end of this year.

The company is also said to reappoint TM Roh as the Samsung Mobile Division’s chief. 

Samsung Galaxy S25 series: seamless updates

As per tipster Chun Bhai on X, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series (and Galaxy A55) will sport seamless updates, which means the updating will take place in the background while the user can continue using the device. Once the update is installed, the user will prompted to restart the device.

}

This saves the user’s time as they don’t have to wait for the lengthy installation process. This would be a neat quality-of-life feature.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim (rumoured)

Like the rumoured iPhone 17 Slim (or Air), Samsung is also said to release a Galaxy S25 Slim model. As the name indicates, the phone could have a slender profile and could boast ergonomics as a differentiator. If such a model gains traction, then Samsung could release a Galaxy S26 Slim edition too.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series: hot One UI 7 leaks

The same tipster has shared a screenshot of the new thermal throttling setting on One UI 7 (developer options). This is a hidden toggle that disables performance throttling (reducing processor clock speed) when the device temperature rises.

A recent hands-on evaluation (by Android Authority) of a phone equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, has highlighted significant thermal issues. And since at least some if not all variants of the Galaxy S25 series are expected to feature this chip, thermal throttling could be a concern.

Other One UI 7 details revealed by the tipster include NowBar (lock screen live activity), and an iOS-inspired AI notification summary.
