Samsung Galaxy S25 series allegedly set for January 22 Unpacked event

Reports surfaced earlier this week hinting at Samsung potentially readying the Galaxy S25 series for an early January launch. Those reports now look to have been wide of the mark, in light of new information from typically reliable quarters.

As revealed by leaker Max Jambor, Samsung's next Unpacked event is scheduled for January 22. While the leaker doesn't explicitly mention Unpacked, other sources have shared identical information, with the consensus being a January 23 launch date in Korea. Seeing as Samsung's home market of Korea is about 9 hours ahead of mainland Europe, the discrepancy in dates can be chalked up to time-zone differences.

As it stands, Samsung will likely present the Galaxy S25 series alongside new Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy Watch 8 series at Unpacked. The company is also reported to have the Galaxy S25 Slim in the works. It's unknown if that device will be unveiled along with its siblings, however. Word on the grapevine leans strongly towards the negative, though, and it's likelier the S25 Slim launches later in the year—perhaps around July, at the same time as the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.
