We’ve got our first big clue about the Galaxy S25’s arrival

by Yaron

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has had a tentative early 2025 launch date for months now, but we might finally have an actual date to look forward to. Samsung will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 23, according to FNNews, a South Korean website, with the Galaxy S25 series as the star of the show. It’s the most precise date we have seen yet for the speculated Galaxy S25 announcement.

Take this news with some skepticism, though, as Samsung has not confirmed any dates for its Unpacked event yet. The report also states San Francisco is “a strong candidate” for the city to host the event. The last Galaxy Unpacked event was held in Paris in July.

A solid January 23 launch date would be welcome after previous estimates only placed the potential launch anywhere between January and March 2025. The Galaxy S24 was released on January 17, 2024, while the Galaxy S23 and S22 had early February announcements during their respective release years.

Interestingly, the report also mentions a new S25 device referred to as the Galaxy S25 Slim. It’s supposedly practically guaranteed, with numerous sources saying it’s nearing completion, so Samsung should be in a position to have it finished in time for the January event. The model is said to have the same specs as a normal Galaxy S25, but with a thinner form factor.Samsung is aiming to capitalize on the recent success of the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy AI. The S24 remained on Counterpoint Research’s top 10 smartphone sell-through list even over the past three months — a rare feat, considering that’s when the new iPhones released — and several midrange Samsung models also claimed a spot on the list.The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is suffering

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra again for the last few weeks, and while I do think it continues to be one of the most versatile smartphones around, I quickly got tired of the shape and design.

I wasn’t the only one who had complaints about this aspect either, and it showed me thatSamsung really needs to think seriously about giving the Galaxy S25 Ultra a big boost to increase its appeal next year, particularly because the competition has really improved.

Less than a week ago, we covered a Samsung Galaxy S25 leak that hinted at its possible colors. Now that information has been corroborated and more from Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) on X (formerly Twitter). When that story went up, we didn’t have the color names. Now we do — and they’re sparkly.

According to Young, the base S25 will come in four colors: Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green. The Galaxy S25 Plus will come in five colors: Midnight Black, Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green.

The first Galaxy S27 details just leaked. Here’s what we know
samsung galaxy s24 fe review 18

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is due to release in January, and we’ve heard next to nothing about the Galaxy S26. Why, then, did we just get the first details on the Galaxy S27? The release is a full generation away, but Samsung is reportedly already working on the chipset.

Dubbed “Ulysses,” this new Exynos chipset is still in the earliest stages of development. Mass production is planned in 2026, but a lot can happen between now and then. Tipster Jukanlosreve first noticed the news on the Korean site SEDaily. The article is written in Korean, but I found the translation to be easy enough to understand. Fair warning: Google Translate doesn’t handle formatting well.
