Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Top-End Variant May Be Limited to Asian Markets; Galaxy S25 Slim Availability Tipped

Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event on Wednesday. Ahead of the flagship phones’ debut, a tipster has suggested that the top-end variant of the purported Galaxy S25 Ultra may not be available in all regions. In fact, only four countries are expected to have this device in the market. Meanwhile, another report claims that the new Galaxy S25 Slim model may have a much wider availability than what Samsung offered with its Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Top-End Variant

According to tipster yawn’s (@chunvn8888) post on X (formerly Twitter), the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may offer 16GB of RAM with its top-end variant. However, there are questions over its wider availability. It is tipped to be exclusive to the Asian markets and may be sold in only four regions — China, South Korea, India, Vietnam.

The aforementioned model is said to be launched in 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB configurations. It is further suggested that the South Korean technology conglomerate may offer a free storage upgrade from 256GB to 512GB on pre-orders, depending on the customer’s location.

The purported Galaxy S25 Ultra, along with the base and Plus models, will likely be powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

Expanded Availability of Galaxy S25 Slim

A PhoneArena report, on the other hand, sheds light on the availability of Samsung’s newest model — the Galaxy S25 Slim. It will reportedly be launched in 39 countries, including Australia, India, Russia, the UAE, and the UK. It may be sold in the following countries:

1. Afghanistan
