The Samsung Galaxy S25 series could be unveiled globally on January 22, according to an X post by tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd). An earlier leak also claimed that the lineup could be announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025. The event is expected to be held in San Francisco, US. Owing to varying timezones, certain markets may see the launch on January 23, according to the earlier leak.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series phones are expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets. The base model has been tipped to get a 3,881mAh rated battery with a typical capacity of 4,000mAh. This is the same battery size as the current Samsung Galaxy S24.
