In terms of sheer power, Samsung has already confirmed that it will use the top-of-the-range Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in future products, so it seems like a shoo-in for the S25 range. The same chip can be found inside flagships from Asus, Oppo, and Xiaomi.

If you’re looking forward to picking up a new Samsung Galaxy S25, we’ve got details on when to expect the Android flagships to arrive.

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S25 series on January 5, 2025, according to a leaked survey. The timing of this launch is earlier than expected, as the Galaxy S24 launched in late January,

Samsung could pull a similar trick with the Galaxy S25 family, namely release the three expected handsets—the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—in mid-January and hold back the presumptively named S25 Slim for a few months.

According to the report, the Galaxy S25 Slim would launch later in the year as a follow-up. Rumors claim the slimmer S25 will be an experimental launch to gauge public interest. If the device succeeds, we might see a Galaxy S26 Slim added to the lineup in 2026.

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch the Galaxy S25 series on January 23, 2025. This is likely the global launch date, so the device could arrive in India at the same time.

According to an X post by the user named pnk505, Samsung might open pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 series as early as January 5, with the product launch scheduled for the third or fourth week of January.
