It’s official: Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked showcase is set for January 22, meaning we haven’t got long to wait before the curtain is lifted on what could be some of the most exciting (and bar-setting) consumer tech of 2025.
But what, specifically, are we expecting to see unveiled in San Jose this year? Naturally, Samsung itself hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, but countless leaks and rumors have got us excited for the potential reveal of new Galaxy phones, software features, and maybe even an all-new premium mixed reality headset.
Below, we’ve rounded up five of the biggest announcements to expect at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
At this point, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has been the subject of more leaks than the Titanic, and we’re fairly certain that this presumed successor to the Galaxy S24 Ultra will spearhead Samsung’s next flagship smartphone lineup.
As for what upgrades the Galaxy S25 Ultra could bring to the table, we’ve heard talk of a more rounded design (akin to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and iPhone 16 Pro Max), a 6.9-inch display, a new 50MP ultra-wide camera, 25W wireless charging, and a new 16GB RAM capacity (in the 512GB model, at least).
These upgrades will almost certainly be underpinned by the all-new (and all-powerful) Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which has already made a name for itself in the OnePlus 13 and Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro. Having put Qualcomm’s latest mobile silicon through a series of benchmark tests, TechRadar’s US Mobiles Editor, Philip Berne, said the Snapdragon 8 Elite “will change everything about smartphones,” so the Galaxy S25 Ultra looks set to be a very powerful handset indeed (expect it to dominate best Android phone conversations in 2025).
Samsung Galaxy S25
The Galaxy S25 Ultra won’t be the only new smartphone kid on the block this month. The new flagship model will almost certainly be joined by two base-level devices, which we’re expecting to be the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus.
