Good news, Android fans: You’ve got just a few days left before the unveiling of 2025’s latest (and presumably greatest) new Samsung phones. The company’s first Galaxy Unpacked event of the year is slated for Wednesday, January 22 — and as in past years, you’ll be able to watch along from home.
Between credible leaks and historical precedent, we can reasonably assume that the event will include a new lineup of Galaxy S25 phones (including Ultra, Plus and regular models) at the very least. The new phones are more or less guaranteed to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and sport some amount of design tweaks, and new colors. And Samsung’s recent blog post effectively confirmed that its new One UI 7 — announced at a Samsung developer event in 2024 — will be part of the Wednesday reveal, so expect more details on how the operating system revamp will actually impact using the company’s new devices.
Beyond that, Galaxy AI will be featured prominently, based on Samsung’s original announcement of the event, and it seems possible the company could include an update on its wearables and more information about Project Moohan, the headset it’s developing for Google’s Android XR platform.
The event begins at 1PM ET / 10AM PT in-person in San Jose and online everywhere else. If you plan on watching, you can find a stream on Samsung.com, in Samsung’s Newsroom, or watch along right here in the YouTube video below. Tech Reader will also be liveblogging the event (we’ll add the link here once it’s live).
