On January 22, Samsung will host its biannual Galaxy Unpacked Event where the company will announce its new line of 2025 Galaxy S smartphones. This is also when preorders go live. In advance of the event, you can place a reservation online in order to get some early bird perks if you end up placing a preorder. These include:

Galaxy Unpacked will take place on January 22nd and the company is emailing registered Samsung users a £50 ($62) voucher to use when buying Galaxy S25 if they answer a questionnaire. The quiz asks basic questions about your smartphone usage and what devices you’re interested in hearing about.

As for what upgrades the Galaxy S25 Ultra could bring to the table, we’ve heard talk of a more rounded design (akin to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and iPhone 16 Pro Max ), a 6.9-inch display, a new 50MP ultra-wide camera, 25W wireless charging, and a new 16GB RAM capacity (in the 512GB model, at least).

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might lose Bluetooth in its S Pen, which means many of the pen's best features are kaput.

When can Samsung's community expect to see the new Galaxy S25 Ultra, when will pre-orders open and when will the new OneUI-powered Android flagship arrive?

Samsung replaced its classic Galaxy Note devices with the Galaxy S Ultra models. The first two generations did not feature an S Pen slot, something the company fixed in later ones. Samsung has added some interesting features to the stylus to boost productivity.
