When is the Next Samsung Event? Galaxy Unpacked 2025 Date Confirmed

Samsung unveiled several new products in the previous year. However, when is the upcoming Unpacked event and what can we expect to see launched?

In 2024, Samsung’s major releases included the flagship Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 foldable phones, as well as wearable devices like the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Ring.

Now, Samsung’s attention is turned towards the 2025 releases, particularly the Galaxy S25 series, which is anticipated to be unveiled at the first Unpacked event of the year.

Here’s a rundown of what we know about the event and the potential announcements:

When does Samsung typically host events?

Samsung is renowned for its high-profile Galaxy Unpacked events where new products are showcased. These events usually occur twice a year, featuring premium phones, tablets, and smartwatches.

Traditionally, Samsung holds Unpacked events at two main times during the year:

• January/February: Typically, the Galaxy S phones
• July/August: Typically, the Galaxy Z foldables, Galaxy Tab S tablets, and Galaxy Watch smartwatches

However, the unveiling of the Galaxy Tab S10 series in September 2024 broke away from this pattern, indicating that the schedule is not set in stone.

When is the next Samsung event scheduled?

Samsung has officially confirmed that the next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on 22 January 2025.

What will Samsung reveal at the upcoming event?

Samsung has teased the announcements for its next Galaxy Unpacked event, hinting at the unveiling of up to four new phones.

Galaxy S25 series

The Galaxy S25 series is set to launch early in 2025, featuring the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. These devices are expected to be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering enhanced performance and efficiency compared to the previous series.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to come with upgraded camera sensors and improvements in design and AI capabilities, particularly with Bixby.

The introduction of a rounder body design and Qi2 wireless charging is also anticipated, bringing Samsung closer to Apple’s charging ecosystem.

Galaxy S25 Slim

Samsung may also introduce the Galaxy S25 Slim, a thinner version of its flagship phone, potentially featuring a 200Mp main camera like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Rumors suggest this device could launch alongside the S25 series or at a separate event later in the year.

Galaxy Z Flip FE

Reports have hinted at the possibility of more affordable Samsung foldables. While previous speculation focused on a Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, attention has now shifted to a Galaxy Z Flip FE, aimed at providing a budget-friendly alternative to the flagship flip phone.

Specific details about the Galaxy Z Flip FE are scarce, but it is rumored to debut in 2025, possibly later in the year rather than at the January event.

One UI 7

One definite feature of the Unpacked 2025 event will be the introduction of Samsung’s One UI 7 interface, launching alongside the Galaxy S25 series. This software update, built on Android 15, is anticipated to bring new features and enhancements.

A beta version of One UI 7 was released in December, offering advanced writing tools, support for call transcripts in multiple languages, and security upgrades.

The lock screen has also been updated with the ‘Now bar’ feature, providing live updates similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island feature.

Galaxy Ring 2

Samsung released its first smart ring in July 2024, making a sequel unlikely in the near future.
