Samsung is expected to host its annual Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22 where he will launch the Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy Ring. The company may also unveil the Galaxy S24 Slim at the event.

In Short

• Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event likely on January 22
• Four new smartphones expected, including Galaxy S25 series
• Leaked blue variant for Galaxy S25 Ultra looks greyish

Samsung is expected to host its annual Galaxy Unpacked launch event next month. Rumours suggest the event will be held on January 22, as per some leaked documents. However, the company has yet to confirm the official launch date. At the event, the company is expected to launch four new smartphones: the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the new and highly-anticipated Galaxy S25 Slim. The latter may be revealed at the event but is expected to be made available later in 2025. Along with the smartphones, Samsung is also expected to release the next-generation Galaxy Ring at the event.

Ahead of things going official, there have been several leaks around the phones. The latest reveals a new colourway for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Shared by the popular Samsung leaker @iceuniverse on X (formerly Twitter), the phone will come in a new blue variant this time. But honestly, when we looked at the post, it took us a minute to understand things. The leaker has put up a picture of a grey colour swatch, but the post reads “S25 Ultra. Blue.” Had it not been for the text in the post, we would never have guessed it to be a shade of blue.

Anyway, nitty gritties of the post aside, the leaker suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be coming in a blue, almost-grey colour.

In the past, the smartphone has also been leaked in a space grey-ish colour, a deep blue, a light blue, and grey.

At this point, it’s hard to distinguish one from the other, but shades of grey and blue seem to be the general colourway for the phone. It’s unclear if these colors will also be available on other Galaxy S24 models.

There have also been other leaks regarding the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Recently, a report revealed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature 16GB of RAM, exclusive to its 512GB and 1TB storage variants. The base model with 256GB storage will come with 12GB of RAM. This configuration is a notable distinction within the Galaxy S25 lineup.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launch date, pre-order, sale details

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 in South Korea are expected to take place from January 24 to February 3, 2025, with deliveries and in-store sales beginning on February 7. In international markets, including the US, pre-orders are likely to follow a similar timeline, starting around January 22 or 23 and closing in early February. This schedule mirrors Samsung’s approach with the Galaxy S24, which was unveiled on January 17, 2024, with pre-orders starting immediately and the phone becoming available by January 31.
