A thin smartphone is always a trade-off between beauty and practicality. Designers race to make devices as light and elegant as possible, while engineers have to trim batteries, cameras, and cooling systems. In autumn 2025, the market brings several models that genuinely impress with their profiles. The Pepelats News editorial team picked four smartphones already on sale that deserve a closer look.
Thickness: 6.6 mm
Infinix managed to stand out by releasing an unusually thin smartphone for its price tier. The HOT 60 Pro pairs a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and a 5,160 mAh battery—impressive for a body that’s just 6.6 mm thick. The upside is the striking design and hardware that comfortably handles everyday tasks. The downside is a 50 MP camera and the Helio G200 processor: fine for basic use, but not the best pick for heavy gaming.
Thickness: 5.64 mm
Apple leaned into elegance and minimalism with the iPhone Air, the thinnest iPhone the company has ever made. At just 5.64 mm, it still packs a 120 Hz OLED display and the latest A19 Pro chip. The appeal is a no-compromise design and seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem. The trade-offs are a smaller battery and no optical zoom, so fans of mobile photography may prefer other models in the lineup.
Thickness: about 5.8 mm
Samsung pursued ultra-thin design with the premium Galaxy S25 Edge. A titanium body, flowing lines, and flagship performance in a razor-thin frame. Users praise its premium build quality and high-brightness display. The drawbacks are predictable: a compact battery limits endurance, and the high price makes it a niche choice for those who put style first.
Thickness: 5.95 mm
Tecno continues to surprise. Despite coming in at under 6 mm, the Pova Slim carries a 5,160 mAh battery—rare for this class. The strengths are an appealing balance of battery life and design, a comfortable in-hand feel, and an accessible price. On the flip side, performance is average and the cameras are modest: fine for everyday photos, less so for enthusiast-grade shooting.
All four models opt for style and elegance, each striking a different balance. The Infinix HOT 60 Pro suits those seeking a slim mid-range phone. iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge set the standard for premium design, though they sacrifice some battery life. Tecno Pova Slim proves thin can also mean affordable. When shopping for a slim smartphone in 2025, it’s worth remembering: beauty comes with compromises. But if looks matter as much as features, you’ll likely find a favorite here.
