Samsung usually launches its latest Galaxy S series phones in late January or February. The South Korean tech giant is yet to reveal a possible date for the launch of the Galaxy S25 lineup, but a newly leaked survey suggests that we may see the phones earlier than usual this time. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series in January this year. Last year’s Galaxy S23 series was unveiled in February. Samsung’s new non-foldable flagship lineup is likely to include the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 alongside the Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra and a fourth Slim variant.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Lineup Early Launch Evidence Is Growing
A leaked Samsung promotional survey, spotted by X user IMEI Pham, points to an early January release for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra. As per the screenshots of the survey (translated from Vietnamese), users who complete the promotional survey will receive a “10 percent discount” on the 2025 Galaxy S series on “January 5,” hinting that Samsung could announce the lineup on that date.
The January 5 launch window would be earlier than Samsung’s usual launch timelines. This year’s Galaxy S24 series was launched on January 17 during the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California. Pre-orders for the phones opened that same day with a January 31 in-store sales date. The Galaxy S23 series was unveiled on February 1, 2023, and went on sale from February 17.
Samsung recently revealed that the Galaxy S25 series will go official in the first half of next year. The Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra models are expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and are likely to ship with new Galaxy AI features. The purported fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Slim, is rumoured to join the lineup later.
As per past leaks, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra will be released in seven colourways and the Galaxy S25+ in eight colour options. They are said to be available in three online exclusive shades as well.
