Anticipations for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Launch Event

Samsung is gearing up to unveil its Galaxy S25 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Here’s what to expect and how to tune in.

Mark your calendars for January 22nd at 1PM ET because Samsung’s dropping the Galaxy S25 series at their Galaxy Unpacked event. And let’s be real, it’s not just about the phones—though they’re stealing the show with their slick AI tricks. But hey, Samsung loves a good plot twist, so expect some unexpected goodies too.

Can’t make it? No sweat. Catch the live action on YouTube, Samsung’s website, or their newsroom page. They’ll be spilling all the deets in real-time, so you won’t miss a thing (unless your Wi-Fi bails, but that’s on you).

The S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra are the headliners. Word on the street is the S25 and S25 Plus are playing it safe with designs similar to last year’s models. But the Ultra? It’s getting a little nip and tuck—think rounder corners, because sharp edges are so 2024.

Here’s the kicker: Qi2 wireless charging is making its debut. But if you’re dreaming of a MagSafe moment without the case, you might wanna temper those expectations. A magnetic case could be your ticket to that sweet, sweet charging nirvana.

Under the hood, One UI 7 (Samsung’s flavor of Android 15) is serving up some tasty upgrades. There’s the ‘Now Bar’ (because why should iPhone have all the fun with Dynamic Island?), a camera app that’s had a glow-up, and the power to say ‘no’ to HDR content that blinds you on social media.

AI’s the name of the game, with Samsung diving deep into how it’ll make your phone smarter. But don’t hold your breath for a Galaxy S25 ‘Slim’ in the US. And keep an ear out for ‘Project Moohan’—Samsung’s peek into the VR world might just steal a bit of the spotlight.
