Samsung is set to launch its flagship Galaxy S25 series this month, bringing upgrades in performance, display, camera, and more. Rumors indicate that Samsung might also introduce a new Galaxy S25 Slim variant during the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event. Despite the potential addition, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here’s everything we know so far about the S25 Series, including its specifications, price, and launch date.
After focusing heavily on Galaxy AI features for last year’s Galaxy S24 lineup, Samsung is expected to continue refining these capabilities with the Galaxy S25 series, including the S25 Ultra. One of the key areas of improvement is likely to be the camera, as Samsung aims to solidify its position as the leader in smartphone photography and challenge Apple for the title of the best camera phone. With these updates, Samsung will likely focus on advancing both hardware and software, delivering superior image quality, enhanced AI-driven photography, and cutting-edge video features. We’re eager to see how this year’s model compares to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which received widespread praise for its upgrades.
Models

Display and Design
- The Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with higher refresh rates (up to 120Hz) and improved HDR10+ support for a stunning viewing experience.

Galaxy AI
- The launch of the Galaxy S24 Ultra was closely tied to Galaxy AI—Samsung’s push into generative AI software—and the entire S24 lineup became the top-selling “AI-powered” smartphones in the first half of 2024. This helped Samsung establish the commercial foundation for generative AI in the industry, following Google’s earlier introduction of AI features with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

However, if the rumors hold true, the price might see a slight increase due to potential updates and enhancements. We’ll have to wait until Galaxy Unpacked 2025 for the official pricing of the Galaxy S25 series.
When Can We Expect the Galaxy S25 Ultra?
- Samsung is anticipated to host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025, with pre-orders expected to begin shortly after the announcement. The S25 series is then likely to start shipping on February 7th.
