The wait is almost over! The tech world is buzzing with anticipation for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. Following recent announcements at CES, Samsung is set to unveil its latest devices. The key question on everyone's mind: What can we expect from Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025, and how can we watch it? Let's take a closer look.
What to Expect from Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025
Samsung Galaxy S25 Lineup:
As is customary, the Galaxy S25 family will likely take center stage at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025. The lineup is expected to include the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. However, rumors suggest Samsung has a surprise in store: a new, slimmer variant, the Galaxy S25 Slim. This phone is rumored to be teased at the event, similar to the Galaxy Ring's preview at Unpacked 2024, with a potential release sometime in May 2025. This is one of the most exciting Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 leaks so far.
The Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra are expected to retain similar screen sizes to their predecessors, ranging from 6.2 to 6.7 inches. A key design change anticipated is rounded corners and thinner bezels. This design shift has gained credibility from leaked renders shared by Android Headlines, further supported by an alleged hands-on video of a dummy unit posted by a Reddit user. These leaks add weight to the rumored design changes and are a hot topic in Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 leak discussions. The Galaxy S25 Slim is also rumored to have a similar size to the S25. The S25 Ultra also expected to come with most awaited Satellite Connectivity feature.
On the camera front, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to receive the most significant upgrade within the S25 family. Reliable tipster Ice Universe suggests the Ultra's ultrawide camera will jump to 50MP from the S24 Ultra's 12MP. The other cameras are expected to remain the same, featuring a 200MP main sensor, a 10MP 3x zoom, and a 50MP 5x zoom. The Galaxy S25 Slim is also expected to feature an upgraded ultrawide camera. This is a key detail for those looking at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 what to expect regarding camera improvements.
After a year's break, Samsung is reportedly returning to a unified processor strategy for the entire S25 family. The entire lineup is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 globally. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has shown promising benchmark results, with single-core scores around 3,127 and multi-core scores around 9,509. It's important to remember that benchmarks don't always perfectly reflect real-world performance, which can be influenced by factors like software optimization and thermal management. This news is relevant to searches regarding Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 what to expect in terms of performance.
Continuing the focus on AI, the Galaxy S25 series will likely heavily feature Galaxy AI, building upon the foundation laid by the S24 series. The Galaxy S24 series was among the first to introduce widespread AI features on mobile devices, inspiring other manufacturers to follow suit. Galaxy AI is powered by Google Gemini and includes features like Circle to Search and live call transcription. Ice Universe has hinted at new, unrevealed Galaxy AI features for the S25, generating anticipation for what Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 has in store regarding AI advancements.
Beyond Smartphones: Galaxy Ring 2 and Samsung XR
But the Galaxy S25 lineup isn't the only exciting prospect at Unpacked 2025. Rumors point towards potential announcements or teasers of other innovative devices.
The Galaxy Ring, which was teased at Unpacked 2024, may make a comeback with the Galaxy Ring 2. Reports suggest the second-generation wearable health tracker will offer a more inclusive fit with two additional sizes, enhanced AI capabilities, updated sensors for improved accuracy, and an extended battery life exceeding the original model's seven-day maximum.
Samsung is also reportedly co-developing an Galaxy XR (extended reality) headset—codenamed Project Moohan—alongside Google and Qualcomm. This "lightweight" and "ergonomically designed" headset is rumored to boast a "state-of-the-art display," passthrough video, and natural multi-modal input. Google's renderings depict a wearable reminiscent of Apple's Vision Pro. However, with Google recently releasing a developer kit and API for the platform, any Unpacked appearance would likely be a preview rather than a full-fledged launch
