Next month, Samsung is holding its Galaxy Unpacked event to announce the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, as well as a few other potential surprises. According to a new report, preorders for Samsung’s newest phones might not go live until January 24 — two days after Galaxy Unpacked.

Preorders will also reportedly last until February 3, and anyone who preordered will receive their device on February 4, with the Galaxy S25 coming to the larger market on February 7, according to FNNews. The report also corroborates that the Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on January 22, something that has been consistently stated across a wide variety of sources.

That’s an earlier timeframe than 2024’s Unpacked, which fell on January 31. The Galaxy S25 will see upgraded storage capacities, more RAM, and a new processor that will make it lightning-fast even when utilizing the onboard Galaxy AI features. There are also suggestions that the Galaxy S25 Slim could appear at Unpacked, although it isn’t expected to be available until the middle of the year or later.

Unfortunately, these improvements might come with a price hike. A combination of factors, including the current economic climate, South Korea’s government upheaval, and increased cost of production, could result in an increase to the Galaxy S25’s price. How much of an increase isn’t clear yet, but it’s expected to be around $100.

Other reveals at Unpacked might include the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2, as well as the company’s rumored smart glasses. While we can’t state with certainty what the event will hold, it’s unlikely to be boring. Look for the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra — and keep your fingers crossed for the S25 Slim.

These Prime Day charger deals are the ones I’d recommend before prices go back up
Prime Day brings big discounts on Anker, Ugreen, and Belkin charging gear
Ugreen Wireless Charging Stand

Prime Day is a great time to upgrade your charging setup, especially if you are still using old power bricks, slow adapters, or separate chargers for every device. This year’s deals include compact GaN chargers, high-power laptop bricks, desk-friendly charging stations, and foldable stands for phones, earbuds, and wearables. I would not buy every charger just because it is discounted, but these are the deals I’d actually consider for a cleaner desk, better travel kit, or faster everyday charging.
