The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup could arrive earlier than usual
Samsung typically launches its latest Galaxy S series phones in late January or February. The South Korean tech giant is yet to reveal a possible date for the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, but a new leaked study suggests we’ll see the phones earlier than usual this time. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series in January this year. Last year’s Galaxy S23 series was unveiled in February. Samsung’s new non-folding flagship range will likely include the standard Samsung Galaxy S25, alongside the Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra and a fourth Slim variant.
Evidence for early launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 is mounting
A leaked promotional survey from Samsung, spotted by X user IMEI Pham, points to an early January release for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra. According to the survey screenshots (translated from Vietnamese), users who complete the promotional survey on “January 5” will receive a “10 percent discount” on the 2025 Galaxy S series, which indicates that Samsung will be updating the lineup on that could announce date.
The January 5 launch window would be earlier than Samsung’s usual launch timelines. This year’s Galaxy S24 series was launched on January 17 at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California. Pre-orders for the phones opened that same day with a retail sale date of January 31st. The Galaxy S23 series was unveiled on February 1, 2023 and went on sale from February 17.
Samsung recently announced that the Galaxy S25 series will be officially launched in the first half of next year. The Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra models are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and are likely to come with new Galaxy AI features. The alleged fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Slim, will reportedly be added to the lineup later.
According to previous leaks, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra will be released in seven colorways and the Galaxy S25+ in eight color options. They are also said to be available in three online exclusive shades.
