Samsung is set to unveil its new Galaxy S25 models on January 22, 2025, featuring artificial intelligence (AI) features. The company introduced features like Circle to Search and Live Translation last year under the Galaxy AI suite. The Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event is expected to feature a new smart ring and other surprises. Techopedia provides more details on the upcoming event.
When is Galaxy Unpacked 2025?
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is set for January 22, starting at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm GMT / 7 pm CET, and broadcast live on Samsung.com and YouTube channel in San Jose, California, exclusively for media, super fans, and industry experts.
What can we expect from Galaxy Unpacked 2025?
Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 series, including the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, along with updates to its AI suite and potential XR/VR glasses as a potential competitor to Apple’s Vision Pro.
Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra
Samsung has not yet announced the Galaxy S25 series, but rumors suggest that all three models will share a design similar to the previous year. Possible modifications include a more rounded, palm-friendly design, a departure from the crisp, Note-like appearance of recent Ultra-branded smartphones, and possibly a thinner 8.4mm appearance.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S25+ will maintain their 6.2 and 6.7 inch screen sizes, while the Ultra will have a slightly larger 6.9 inch display. The upcoming flagships will run One UI 7, built on Android 15, and feature heavy AI integrations, with more details expected to be revealed during the Galaxy Unpacked event.
AI Features
Samsung’s event titled “The Next Big Leap in Mobile AI Experiences” features premium Galaxy innovations aimed at providing seamless convenience in every moment of life. The Galaxy S25 models will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, renowned for its AI prowess, bringing some neat features.
Qualcomm’s chip features an AI engine capable of generating personalized assistants, enabling on-board interaction with objects through cameras or microphones. It also supports AI-driven photo editing, Video Magic Eraser, and AI pet photo-taking. Samsung is expected to incorporate these features into upcoming phones and may collaborate with Google to bring their AI innovations.
Samsung XR, AR glasses, and the Galaxy Ring 2
Samsung launched its first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, at Unpacked in January 2024, followed by its second launch at MWC in February and July, and a potential follow-up could be unveiled at Unpacked 2025.
Samsung may unveil the Galaxy Ring 2 and smart glasses at an event, but these are expected to be previews and not immediately available in the market. Samsung previously showcased “Project Moohan” and Android XR but has not yet showcased smart glasses. Samsung Fold series fans typically expect these products to be unveiled in the second half of the year.
Is It Possible to Watch Samsung Unpacked Online?
Samsung Unpacked, a physical event for media, celebrities, and influencers, will be streamed online. Fans can watch the event on Samsung’s official website or YouTube channel or stream the embedded YouTube video from the page.
The Bottom Line
Unpacked 2025 is a significant smartphone event that showcases the best of Android. Despite recent refinements in Samsung phones like the S series and foldables, the focus is on what 2025 will bring.
