Here is everything that you need to know about the upcoming Galaxy S25 series including its release date, expected pricing, features, specs, and everything else in between.

Since Samsung hasn’t revealed any of the information officially, take all of this information with a generous amount of salt.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date

Looking at how Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series in January, you can expect Samsung to do the same with the Galaxy S25 series. Supporting this, a recent leak from renowned tipster Evan Blass (aka Evleaks) reveals a poster for the Galaxy Unpacked event, indicating a potential release date of January 22.

You will see the same pattern: delivery of pre-orders followed by a generally global sale at a later date. Samsung’s first Galaxy Unpacked event for 2025 will take place on the 22nd of January, 2025. Along with the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, we will see the official release of One UI 7 based on Android 15 as well as the new XR headset from Samsung called Project Moohan.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Rumored Specs

Samsung as usual will equip the Galaxy S25 series with Snapdragon’s latest 8 Elite SoC. Now, whether this will be a special Galaxy edition, only time will tell. While the US got the whole Galaxy S24 lineup with the Snapdragon SoC, other regions only got the Ultra with the Snapdragon chip; the base, and plus models were released with the Exynos SoC. If Samsung wants to bring success to the Galaxy S25 series this year, shipping the Galaxy S25 with the Snapdragon SoC will give Samsung a big win.

Samsung will continue to go ahead with the anti-reflective display that was previously seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It would be meaningful if Samsung brought the same anti-reflective screen to the base and plus variants too. Screen sizes and display resolutions will likely be similar to the previous Galaxy S24 series.

We can also see the camera rings are now black, unlike the chrome rings seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, shared by u/GamingMK on Reddit. Samsung will continue with the flat screen display instead of the curved display. Regarding front and rear protection, the upcoming flagship is expected to feature Gorilla Glass Armor, which helps reduce scratches.
