Samsung spent much of 2025 slimming down its phones, and the results are hard to miss.\n<\/p>\n<p>Below are the thinnest Galaxy phones you can buy in early 2026. Last year, we only looked at devices under 8mm thick. This time, we\u2019ve tightened the criteria.\n<\/p>\n<p>The list now includes only Galaxy phones that are 7.5mm thick or thinner. There are far more slim Galaxy devices than there were a year ago, so we had to trim the fat to keep things focused.

It remains Samsung\u2019s slimmest slab phone to date.\n<\/p>\n<p>Foldables kept getting thinner too. The 3.9mm Galaxy Z TriFold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-z-trifold-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">takes the all-time thinness<\/a> crown outright. That said, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may be the more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">impressive achievement overall<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is not just absurdly thin when unfolded, it\u2019s also remarkably slim when folded. Not under 7.5mm, but far closer to slab-phone territory than any previous Galaxy foldable. That sweet balance is what makes it one of the most desirable Samsung foldables ever made.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767063488_53_google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Which Samsung phones are the thinnest in 2026?
