What to expect at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025
The main announcements we’re expecting at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 are of the Samsung Galaxy S25 itself, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Based on apparent leaks and rumors these might be similar in some ways to their predecessors, but key rumored upgrades include a bigger 6.9-inch screen and a new 50MP ultra-wide camera for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, a powerful new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for all three models, more RAM in the base and Ultra models, and better AI – including a ChatGPT-like upgrade for Bixby.
That upgrade is likely to come to some existing Samsung Galaxy phones too though, and that along with other new AI features are expected to be a big focus of the show.
Also on the software front, we’re sure to see Samsung’s One UI 7, which is the next version of its Android interface, and the one the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch with.
As for what else we might see, that’s less certain, but it’s possible that the rumored Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could get teased there – though we’re not expecting a full announcement until around May.
We might also see the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2, and there’s a chance that Project Moohan could make an appearance. This is Samsung’s mixed reality headset and it has already been announced, but big questions like how much this Apple Vision Pro rival will cost haven’t yet been answered.
