Time is cyclical, and we’re already back to the part of the year where rumors of Samsung’s next big smartphone are clogging the airwaves. I’m still working hard with the latest versions of the Apple iPhone and Google Pixel, as I know I’ll be answering a lot of questions about them this holiday season. People will then wonder if it’s worth waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S25 until after Christmas.
When is Galaxy unzipped?
If you want the latest Samsung deals for bragging rights or because you needed to upgrade, you might as well wait until Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event. A concrete date for the event has not yet been set, but based on the programming of the last few years, January seems like the right month to bring home a new Samsung flagship. Hopefully, Samsung will pack enough into its new hardware to win you over with a pre-order deal it will inevitably offer until the Galaxy S25 launches.
What to expect from the Galaxy S25
Let’s talk: What do people expect from Samsung’s next flagship device? The company has already teased in a earnings report that new hardware is the trajectory. This includes the Galaxy S25 series, which typically has three phone sizes, and all subsequent foldables and tablets. The same press release also details what’s coming for wearables, but we’ll get to that in a bit.
The Galaxy S25 exists only in rumors, despite the official mention of its parent smartphone. Even before the fear inflated rates they began to loom over us, they were there relationships that Qualcomm’s chips and other parts of the Galaxy S25’s internal hardware would increase the cost of phones launched in 2025. Samsung’s Galaxy series will likely be the first to suffer this fate and will set a precedent for smartphone pricing for the rest of market. year.
The chip inside the Galaxy S25 will undoubtedly be powerful. Rumors had surfaced earlier in the year that it would be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which made sense considering the latest naming convention. But now that the Snapdragon 8Elite exists, there’s likely to be a collaboration between Samsung and Qualcomm on a chip that promises to loom over Google and Apple’s attempts in the artificial intelligence game.
Although I cringe when connecting to X, formerly known as Twitter, one of the industry’s trusted leakers published renders a few months ago suggest that the smallest Galaxy S25 offering will be exactly 6.2 inches. The huge Galaxy S25 Ultra is still set be the largest in the range with a 6.8-inch display, and so on will concentrate on thinness and weight compete with this year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Rumors are multiplying regarding other specifications. As we near the end of 2024, expect more details to emerge about the Galaxy S25’s internals. Samsung will opt for a absurd amount of memory in its flagships like the competition overseas? There’s also talk of the 360-degree camera capabilities, as if they wanted to compete with the iPhone’s spatial video offerings.
What to expect from Samsung wearables
After the Galaxy S25 smartphones hit the stage, Samsung will shift the spotlight to other aspects of its gadget business. Wearable devices have been a significant focus for the manufacturer, especially after the introduction of the Galaxy Ring. But it seems too early for Samsung to tease anything about the next generation of its digital gadgets. On the other hand, the company surprised us with the official presentation of the Ring on the Galaxy S24 Showcase not packaged.
Samsung might even beat Meta in the smart glasses hype. The company is working with Google and Qualcomm on a prototype for a pair of smart glasses. They could be what Samsung will surprise us with at the eagerly awaited Galaxy S25 event at the end of January.
We’ll update this page with more information on what’s coming from Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Galaxy Unpacked.
