And now Smartprix has shown the listing for a smartphone with the market name “Galaxy” and model number SM-S937U in the GSMA IMEI database. Smartprix says Samsung typically adds smartphones it’s working on testing internally to the database before launching it six to seven months later, and this model number lines up with others that line up with the usual Galaxy standard, Plus, and Ultra phones.
Other details are unknown, besides that the U indicates it should see a release in the US. The iPhone’s slim variant, however, could debut in the third quarter and cost more than even Apple’s current most expensive model, the iPhone Pro Max, with a 6.6-inch display and just one rear-facing camera, according to reports from The Information and others.
Samsung might have to change a few parts to accommodate a different design, so it’s possible a slim Galaxy could cut back on the processor, display, battery, and camera capabilities. So, if the AI features in the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 16 weren’t enough to make you upgrade, maybe next year we’ll find out if making it really thin can do the trick.
