hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Continuing from the previous post, this article would like to share news regarding the release date of the Galaxy S25 series.
Galaxy S25 Series Release Date and Unpacked Event Latest Updates and Outlook
Galaxy S25 series release date expected
According to a recent local media report, a release date for the Galaxy S25 series seems to have been confirmed. According to an exclusive report by Financial News, the Galaxy Unpacked event for the first half of 2025 will take place on Jan. 23. This is about two weeks later than previously expected on Jan. 5. Also, Max Jambor, a reliable IT leaker, claims to be Jan. 22, which is the same as Financial News’ report given the time difference between the U.S. and Korea.
Earlier, IT media outlet Phone Arena released a screenshot of an online survey conducted by Samsung Electronics that included information on the release date of the Galaxy S25 series. Therefore, it was rumored that it would be released on Jan. 5, but Jan. 5 is Sunday. Considering that it is the beginning of the new year, most media outlets are closed due to the weekend, and previous unpack events were mainly held on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, the rumor of a January 5th release seems unlikely.
Galaxy S25 series pre-order and schedule schedule
According to reports, the likely location for the Galaxy Unpacked event will be San Francisco, USA. Therefore, we expect that this Galaxy Unpack will be held on January 22nd in the US local time and on January 23rd at 2 a.m. in Korean time. And if the unpack date is correct on January 23rd, pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 series are expected to start from Friday, January 24th and run until Thursday, January 30th, so the official launch will take place in the first week of February.
Galaxy S Series Market Reaction and Forecast
And as I mentioned in the previous post, in the latest third quarter smartphone sales rankings, the Galaxy S24 series re-entered the top 10 list for the first time since 2018, ranking 10th. With sales of the Galaxy S series now increasing again, Samsung is expected to expect this Galaxy S25 series to continue its recovery as well.
All models of the Galaxy S25 series will be equipped with Snapdragon chipsets, which is expected to further improve performance. However, since the price of the Snapdragon has been increased, it seems that the Galaxy S25 series will also be a stumbling block to the recovery in sales if the price increases.
Galaxy S25 slim model teaser expected to be released
Also of interest is whether the Galaxy S25 Slim, a new derivative of the Galaxy S25, will be unveiled briefly at the unpack event. The Galaxy S25 Slim focuses on a thin and light design, and although we don’t know how much information about the model will be released, we think it will be a brief introduction similar to the Galaxy Ring, which was introduced as a teaser in the unpack earlier this year.
Key expectations from the Galaxy S25 unpack event
Taken together, next January’s Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to take place around January 23 rather than January 5, and will likely highlight the new design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra model and the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It’s also likely that Samsung’s next-generation AI capabilities will be a major theme.
Galaxy AI is expected to dramatically improve the user experience, and I think the demonstration and detailed explanation will take place at the event, and I’ll let you know as soon as I get any additional news.
