Samsung Galaxy Ultra S25 Launching at Unpacked Event on January 22

Samsung has officially set the date for its eagerly anticipated Winter Unpacked event, where tech enthusiasts will likely witness the unveiling of the latest additions to the Galaxy line. Scheduled for January 22 in San Jose, California, this event promises to bring exciting new advancements in mobile technology.

• Date: January 22, 2025
• Location: San Jose, California
• Highlight: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The company sent out its invites on January 6, coinciding with the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. While Samsung will have a significant presence at CES 2025, it seems unlikely that hardware previews, like last year’s private meetings during the event, will occur this year.

New Galaxy Phones Expected

Anticipation builds surrounding the new flagship Series of Galaxy smartphones, particularly the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here’s what we can expect:

• Design: Rumored to feature a new, curvier design.
• Screen Size: Expected to have a larger screen.
• Processor: Likely powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Mobile Editor Phil Berne had the opportunity to test early systems equipped with this new mobile CPU during the last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, remarking that the performance was impressive.

Beyond just hardware specs, Samsung aims to enhance the user experience with upgrades to its AI capabilities, promising a “more natural and intuitive Galaxy AI” that will significantly change how users engage with their devices. Following positive impressions of the AI features seen in previous models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, expectations are high for what’s to come.

Potential Surprises on the Horizon

The January 22 event may also bring forth surprises beyond the standard smartphone lineup. Speculation is rife regarding the possible showcase of Project Moohan, an exciting new mixed reality headset. Jointly developed by Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm, this device is still in development stages but promises an innovative experience that could rival existing products like Apple’s Vision Pro.

Samsung’s strategy suggests that this mixed reality experience will leverage AI technologies, potentially leading to unique offerings not available on competitive platforms. As for other products like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Buds 3 Pros, and the Galaxy Ring, updates or announcements seem less likely given their recent launches.

TechRadar will have a presence at the event, providing coverage and early insights into all new gear unveiled during the event. Samsung plans to livestream the event on various platforms, including the Samsung Newsroom, Samsung.com, and the company’s YouTube channel starting at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series represents a new chapter in mobile technology, emphasizing enhanced performance, increased capability, and sophisticated AI integration, setting a high bar for competitors in the smartphone landscape. As we approach the Winter Unpacked event, excitement grows around the innovations that Samsung has in store for its loyal customers and tech enthusiasts alike.
