Highlights

• Samsung might release its Galaxy S25 series in the first week of January 2025.
• A recent Vietnamese retailer survey leaked the pre-order date for the Galaxy S25 series.
• The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
• The Galaxy S25 and S25+ may feature Samsung’s Exynos 2500 or MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

We all know that Samsung Galaxy S25 will be eyeing a January 2025 launch, based on Samsung’s usual release calendar.

However, what most in the industry are expecting is a launch date sometime in January’s second half considering that’s when Galaxy S24 was unveiled this year. But a more recent leak now suggests it might come sooner than that.

It appears Samsung is gearing up for an early launch of its Galaxy S25 series potentially releasing it in the first week of January 2025.

If this turns out to be true, Samsung will be unveiling its new flagship lineup including the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra right before CES 2025.

This timeline would be unusual in the smartphone market if we consider the previous big brand’s flagship device launch dates.

Notably, the chances of the Galaxy S25 Slim model joining the January release date are less and it will most likely arrive later in the year.

The leak about an earlier-than-expected launch is coming from a recent Vietnamese retailer survey.

The survey hinted that pre-orders for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series could start as soon as January 5.

This early pre-order date along with discount offers for those participating in the survey adds credibility to the rumours of an accelerated launch.

However, Samsung has not confirmed an official date and may clarify this timeline in the coming weeks.

The retailer’s survey has asked users about issues they’d like Samsung to improve such as gaming performance, smoother interfaces, overheating, camera quality, battery life and charging speed.

It also explores users’ interest in AI-powered features for the Galaxy line including custom emoji creation, media-sharing experiences, creating photos and videos from text and recovering old images.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series – What to Expect?

Recent leaks reveal some design and performance details for the S25 series.

Aluminium dummy units show slimmer, sleeker profiles across the models, and close-up renders highlight the Ultra model’s design and possible colour options.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor worldwide, promising significant performance boosts: 45% faster CPU, 44% better power efficiency and a 40% improvement in GPU performance.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models are rumoured to carry Samsung’s Exynos 2500 or MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

We can expect official details to come out as Samsung inches closer to its 2025 flagship lineup release.
