The biggest phones of 2024 have all now launched, but we probably won’t have to get far into 2025 before we see another major handset – in fact, three of them should land all at once, early in the year, in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S25, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

This trio of high-end phones are likely to be the best of Samsung’s non-foldable phones for the year, and based on past form will probably rank among the absolute best phones from any brand.

While we don’t know exactly when these handsets will launch, we can take an educated guess based on rumors and tips, and Samsung’s typical release date patterns. Below then, you’ll find the predicted announcement date, our prediction for the pre-order date, and when we think these phones will actually go on sale.

We’ll also update this article whenever we hear any credible release date news or rumors, so make sure to keep checking back.

Samsung Galaxy S25 announcement date predictions

We've heard two credible release date leaks so far, one of which suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be announced on January 23 and the other points to a Galaxy S25 announcement on January 22. However, with the first leak coming from South Korea and the launch event likely happening in the US, it's very possible due to time differences that both are correct, but for our purposes then the January 22 leak would be more likely.

Beyond that, another Samsung Galaxy S25 announcement date hint comes in the form of a Vietnamese survey, shared by @pnk505 on X. This states that on January 5, respondents will get a 10% discount off the next Galaxy S models.

So you might assume January 5 would be the announcement date of these phones, but that’s a Sunday, which is not a day Samsung is likely to use. Still, the discount code needn’t necessarily be sent on the announcement date, so if the survey is genuine then we could still see these phones get announced in early to mid-January, or indeed on January 22, as mentioned above.
