A survey suggested a few days ago that Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S25 series on January 5th, which would make it the earliest launch for a Galaxy S model in Samsung’s history. The Galaxy S24’s Unpacked happened on January 17th this past year.
That was just a survey. We pointed out at the time that nothing is official until Samsung makes it so. The Korean giant has not accidentally leaked the Galaxy S25 Unpacked date nor sent out press invites. But a new report from Korea gives another potential launch date for the Galaxy S25 series — along with a potential plot twist in Samsung’s launch strategy.
The Galaxy S25 Slim might be the surprise star of Samsung’s Unpacked event, which will reportedly happen on January 23rd. However, considering the time zone differences between Korea and the US, that could turn out to be January 22nd. The Galaxy S25 launch event might take place in San Francisco.
Korean site FNNews reported the January 23rd Unpacked event date. Max Jambor, a source that 9to5Google calls reliable, retweeted the date. Jambor later corrected it to January 22nd local time.
FNNews also says that Samsung is looking to finish the development of the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Slim in time for the Unpacked event. Previously, reports said the Galaxy S25 Slim wouldn’t be ready for the spotlight until sometime in April 2025.
The new report says the Galaxy S25 Slim could be the surprise at Samsung’s event. This year’s event also had a surprise at the end in the form of a Galaxy Ring teaser. After that, Samsung brought the ring to MWC but only gave the wearable a proper launch in July.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Slim will supposedly feature the same performance as the thicker Galaxy S25. This suggests the phone will run on the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip as the regular models.
