Jan 8, 2025, 3:54 PM UTCShare this storySamsung announced its first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2025, which its historically used to introduce the latest flagship Galaxy smartphones. That would be the Galaxy S25 family if our count is right, including the base model, the expected Galaxy S25 Ultra, and whatever else falls between. Well know for sure before too long with an unveiling scheduled for January 22nd.RelatedBut before the company even confirms what were getting, you can already place a reservation to preorder the device. If you sign up at Samsungs website or the Shop Samsung app by January 22nd at 1 PM ET (which only entails submitting your name and email address) and later place your pre-order, youll get a $50 credit thats good toward any additional devices or accessories youre purchasing alongside it. That sadly means you cant use the $50 toward the device itself. The fine print also mentions that you can get a $100 credit toward your pre-order of a qualifying 2025 TV (perhaps some of the models it announced at CES) or audio device using the same email address, hinting that we may see more than just smartphones at the event.As for what to expect from the Galaxy S25 family, they could be some of the first Qi2 Ready devices, which would mean theyll support the wireless charging standard, but require cases to use them with magnetic Qi2 chargers. A recent video leak suggests the Galaxy S25 Ultra may get a slight redesign with a curvier chassis. We may even get a Galaxy S25 Slim to turn the de facto trio of flagships into a quartet.And we didnt need to see the letters AI in Samsungs teaser to know that would be a central selling point for its latest devices. Weve already seen Galaxy AI deployed in several of its devices over the last couple of years, which includes features like Circle to Search, computational photography and video tricks with generative photo manipulation, summarized notes and transcriptions, and live translations. Samsung will presumably continue building that experience out as part of One UI 7.Most PopularMost Popular
