A new leak has all but confirmed that Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S25 Slim globally. Arriving early next year, the Galaxy S25 Slim should be just as easy to obtain as the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus or Galaxy S25 Ultra.

In recent days, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published early documents that are believed to be the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. As is often the case, the US regulatory body did not reference the devices by their retail names.

Instead, it listed them as the SM-S931, SM-S936 and SM-S938, which a subsequent leak has reinforced are the model numbers for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, respectively. Now, a fourth Galaxy S25 series model has appeared online courtesy of Erencan Yilmaz on X (formerly Twitter).

As the image below shows, the device in question is the SM-S937, which was seen earlier this month as the North American-only model 'SM-S937U'. This time, an IMEI database has returned a result for the SM-S937B/DS, which should be the same underlying device as the SM-S937U. Based on previous leaks, both devices are variants of the Galaxy S25 Slim rather than a successor of sorts to the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus or Galaxy S24 Ultra (curr. $949.99 on Amazon).

While the new IMEI result does not provide any further insights into the Galaxy S25 Slim, the model number itself does. On the one hand, 'DS' stands for dual-SIM, which Samsung offers on many of its flagships. On the other hand, 'B' here refers to SM-S937B/DS being a device that Samsung plans to sell globally. In other words, there is no reason to suggest that the Galaxy S25 Slim will be a limited release like the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.
