The S25 series launch will happen on January 22!
The stage is set for Samsung to unveil its latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S25 series during the company’s first Galaxy Unpacked of 2025. It's all happening and slated to kick off on Wednesday, January 22 at 1 PM ET, and we’ll have boots on the ground at the event.
So buckle up, because it looks like Samsung is looking to make a huge splash and put the rest of the market on notice.
Here's our Samsung Galaxy S25 ultimate guide which we will update as often as possible!
Samsung will livestream the launch on its official website and YouTube platforms.
For now, stay tuned; we're going to keep updating this live blog with everything we know so far!
One of the big questions was whether Samsung would opt to stick with Qualcomm for the Galaxy S25 series, or if we would see Exynos chips. According to a report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Samsung’s production of its latest Exynos SoC ended up with a “lower-than-expected yield.”
Because of this, Samsung would instead rely on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which turned out to be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This initial report was corroborated by a separate rumor, which also suggested Samsung would opt for Qualcomm across the board, instead of utilizing its Exynos chips in certain regions.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at everything that has been leaked or rumored about Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones. Starting out with the Galaxy S25, the rumor mill didn’t really start picking up until the second half of the year.
Before that, a rumor back in June suggested that the regular Galaxy S25 wouldn’t see any meaningful camera upgrades. This would mean that the Galaxy S25 would sport a 50MP main lens, along with a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto sensor offering 3x optical zoom.
If you already know that you’re going to pick up one of the new Galaxy S25 models, you don’t have to wait just to save some money. All you have to do is head over to the Samsung Galaxy Reserve landing page, enter your information, and voila! You’ll save $50 right off the bat, but will also be able to save an additional $1,250 when trading in your old phone.
