Good news, Android fans. We’re only days away from the announcement of the latest (and perhaps best) new Samsung smartphones of 2025. The company’s first Galaxy Unpacked event of the year is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22nd, and like every year, you can watch from home.
Between reliable leaks and historical precedent, we can reasonably assume that at least this event will include a new lineup of Galaxy S25 phones (including Ultra, Plus, and regular models). The new phone is more or less guaranteed to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with some design tweaks and new colors added. And Samsung’s recent blog post effectively confirmed that the new One UI 7 announced at the 2024 Samsung Developer Event was part of Wednesday’s announcement, so the operating system refresh is indeed the company’s Further details are expected on how the use of the new device will be affected.
In addition, Samsung’s initial announcement at the event said Galaxy AI would be featured heavily, and the company would also provide updates on its wearables, as well as more information about Project Moohan, the headset it’s developing for Google’s Android XR platform. There seems to be a possibility that it will be included.
The event begins at 1pm ET/10am PT in person in San Jose and online elsewhere. If you plan on watching, you can find the stream on Samsung.com or Samsung’s Newsroom, or you can watch along in the YouTube video below. Engadget will also be live blogging the event (we’ll add a link here as soon as it’s live).
