Samsung will liven up the year 2025 from January by presenting its new range of smartphones. The launch of the Galaxy S25 is approaching and a recent leak has just revealed the date of Galaxy Unpacked 2025. Samsung would organize its first meeting of the year on January 22, 2025, if we are to believe the leaker Alvin (@sondesix on X ). He specifies that the conference will take place in San Jose, California (United States), at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT), or 7 p.m. in mainland France. The brand has still not confirmed its event and the information should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, all indicators are counting on an official presentation on this date.
The South Korean giant’s announcement will be an opportunity to lift the veil on its new series of high-end smartphones. Samsung is due to present its Galaxy S25 range consisting of three versions: Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra. This vintage will further emphasize Galaxy AI, the manufacturer’s suite of AI features, and will provide a technical update.
The spearhead of the series, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, would benefit from a new, less angular design. It should also update its cameras, in addition to welcoming the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite from Qualcomm. To accompany this chip, certain variants would increase to 16 GB of RAM compared to 12 GB of RAM on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Last year, Samsung had already presented its Galaxy S24 range in January in order to get ahead of these main competitors. For 2025, the rapid announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite has pushed many manufacturers to bring forward the presentation date of their respective devices.
A teaser of the Samsung headset is expected
During its event, the manufacturer should also discuss its famous “Project” Moohan. This project has already been made official by Samsung and Google, but many details are missing. For now, we know that it will run under the Android XR platform and will benefit from extensive Gemini integration. The headset should not be officially launched during this event, but later in 2025. This delay allows us to keep all the light on the Galaxy S25 and create anticipation around the headset, while still fine-tuning the final details before launch. This rival to the Apple Vision Pro could be shown during Galaxy Unpacked 2025 and wait until summer 2025 to offer a complete presentation.
Expected to be more accessible than the Apple Vision Pro, it will mark the Korean firm’s return to the mixed reality headset market. Samsung tried its luck a decade ago with the Gear VR.
Quid du Galaxy S25 Slim ?
In 2025, a new Galaxy model could appear under the name Galaxy S25 Slim. This ultra-thin smartphone could become a competitor to Apple’s future iPhone 17 Air, but it should not be launched at the same time as the other Galaxy S25s. The Korean news agency Yonhap indicates that Samsung could present the Galaxy S25 Slim in the second quarter of 2025. The smartphone would be offered in limited quantities, at 3 million units.
