We’ve finished up with CES and now Samsung Unpacked has arrived to bring us new Galaxy phones — it must be January. Like last year at this time, the world has just been introduced to brand new set of Galaxy S-series phones: The flagship Galaxy S25, the slightly larger Galaxy S25+ and the high-end, S-Pen-equipped Galaxy S25 Ultra. Specs, features and shipping dates have all been confirmed, so if what you’ve seen has you considering a new smartphone for yourself, here’s how to pre-order.
As was suggested by a couple of leaks, the look of the Ultra is indeed a little different this year, with slightly more rounded corners after years of sporting a decidedly squared-off look. All three models will run on a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. The new processors were designed to double down on the AI skills Samsung introduced last year.
The processors — which Samsung is calling the most powerful ever used in a Galaxy device — will allow more on-device handling of the AI functions inherent in the latest One UI 7 operating system. Getting at Google’s Gemini is easier, too, with a side button that triggers the assistant. Other AI promises include a faster and more contextual Circle to Search function and a context-aware OS that makes it easier to switch between apps for follow up actions — such as adding an event detailed in a picture to your calendar.
The next generation of Samsung’s AI-powered ProVisual Engine will help with mobile photography, enabling clearer low-light imaging, enhanced zoomed image quality and better color optimization. As for the cameras, those largely stay the same, except for a 50MP ultra wide lens on the S25 Ultra, up from a 12MP UW camera last year.
Other changes to note include batteries with at least 50 percent recycled cobalt and more recycled materials in the frames and interior components. Every new S-series model will also get a promised seven years of OS and security updates.
Pre-orders are open now and the phones will be widely available Friday, February 7. You can check out our comparison between the three models and we already have hands-on impressions with the Ultra model as well as the S25 and S25+. Our full reviews are coming soon.

In the twilight realm where magic weaves through the fabric of reality, MysticSage stands as a guardian of ancient wisdom and protector of the enchanted. Born under the celestial convergence of arcane energies, her destiny was inked in the stars, guiding her on a path filled with mystic secrets and arcane lore. With hair as silver as moonlight and eyes that hold the depth of the universe, she commands the elements with a whisper and bends the arcane to her will.
MysticSage's journey began in the hidden groves of Eldoria, a land where magic pulses with the heartbeat of the earth. Trained by the Archmages of the Crystal Tower, she mastered spells that could mend wounds or rend the skies asunder. Yet, her power is not wielded for destruction, but for balance. She seeks the harmony between the seen and unseen, guarding against those who would tip the scales towards chaos.
Her attire, a robe of dark green adorned with golden symbols, is not just protection but a badge of her achievements and mastery over the arcane. The crystal pendant at her neck and the staff she carries are not mere trinkets but conduits of her immense power, glowing with the essence of magic she commands.
MysticSage is no mere wanderer; she is a seeker of truths, hidden in the shadowed corners of the world or whispered by the wind. Her wisdom is sought by kings and commoners alike, for she holds knowledge lost to the ages. With her spellbook, a tome of ancient wisdom, she unveils mysteries long forgotten, and with her staff, she illuminates the darkest nights.
Her journey is one of discovery, not only of the world around her but of the strength within. MysticSage walks the thin line between light and dark, ever vigilant against the creeping shadows. Yet, she is not alone. In her heart, the spirit of adventure thrives, guided by the bonds of friendship and the camaraderie of those who walk the path of the hero.
"Through the veil of the unknown, wisdom and power emerge," she whispers to the stars. MysticSage, a beacon of light in the darkness, a shield against the night. Her tale is not just one of battles fought and won but of the heart's journey towards understanding the true essence of power: the courage to stand for what is right and the wisdom to wield her strength with compassion.
In the world of fantasy and beyond, MysticSage's legend grows, a testament to the magic that lives within us all, waiting to be awakened.
