Samsung’s next Unpacked event sets a date to unveil the Galaxy S25

Samsung has announced that it will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET on January 22 in San Jose, California. Samsung will stream the event on YouTube, its website, and its editorial page. According to its invitation, the company is preparing to showcase its upcoming Galaxy S devices, along with new Galaxy AI features.

Rumors suggest that Samsung’s next phones will include a redesigned Galaxy S25 Ultra with more rounded corners, making it visually more in line with its lower-tier phones while retaining trademark features like the Galaxy S Pen. There are also rumors that a Galaxy “Slim” phone is in the works, although this isn’t expected until later in the year.

Finally, the rumor suggests that Samsung is adding Qi2 wireless charging to the Galaxy S25 lineup, but would not put magnets in the phones, instead relying on magnetic cases. Earlier Monday, the Wireless Power Consortium cited Samsung as saying it would support Qi 2 with new Galaxy devices this year while introducing “Qi2 Ready,” a special certification for phones requiring a magnetic case to fully support the norm.

If you know you’re going to upgrade to a version of the Galaxy S25 phone, the company is offering $50 credits if you reserve a spot to pre-order it.
