What Will Be Announced At Galaxy Unpacked 2025
Mobile news | by Charlotte Bolton | Jan 16, 2025
On January 22nd, 2025, it was reported that Samsung would hold its annual Galaxy Unpacked event. Whilst various Unpacked events are held throughout the year, a January event is always guaranteed. (This is because it is the biggest Samsung event that usually reveals the upcoming Galaxy phone.) Last year, in the July Unpacked event, Samsung released the big news that they were releasing a smart ring called the Galaxy Ring, could this year be beaten when it comes to innovative tech?
So let’s dive into what’s been predicted to be revealed, please note as of yet all information in this blog is based on rumours. Don’t take any details in this blog as 100% confirmed and true.

Is there a Samsung S25 coming out?
To begin, of course, we expect to hear about the iconic Galaxy phone release. This year, it will be the Galaxy S25, Plus and Ultra. There have also been some talks of a slim model released called the Galaxy S25 Slim. It will be very interesting if this rumour proves to be true considering Apple are also in talks of creating a thinner phone called the Apple iPhone 17 Air. It sure will be interesting to see how these two differ.
We assume the standard smartphone updates will be in place, with better battery life, improved performance, and stronger power. Make sure to check out our Galaxy S25 blog where we further dive into recent rumours and beliefs on the phone.
Previous Galaxy smartphone release dates:
- S24 - January 31st 2024
- S23 - February 17th 2023
- S22 - February 25th 2022
- S21 - January 29th 2021
- S20 - February 11th 2020
- S10 - March 8th 2019
Is Samsung coming out with a smart ring 2?
As we mentioned, last year Samsung released the Galaxy Ring. It was a smart ring that measured the user's health metrics helping improve their fitness and health levels. It really took off and was very popular. And whilst it’s only been 6 months since the original Ring was released (July 2024) many fans have been eagerly anticipating its second model's release. Could the time be now?
If we see a new Galaxy Ring release next week, spec updates could include an improved battery of up to 7 days without charge, improved accurate data sensors, 2 new ring sizes and stronger AI.
What is the new AI update for Samsung phone?
Along with the Galaxy S25, AI upgrades are a feature that is almost guaranteed to be mentioned. Now that Apple AI is here, Samsung and Google are desperately trying to keep ahead of the competition. It is believed features like AI relighting, Video Magic Eraser and AI Pet Photo Features could be included. Very much focused on the camera and photography when it comes to upcoming AI.
Is Samsung making a headset?
At the very end of 2024, we reported on Instagram that Samsung had announced that they are creating an Android XR Headset which will offer eye and hand tracking, and a virtual keyboard that allows users to interact with it by tapping the air. It sounds like a direct competitor to the Apple Vision Pro, and since that device was such a failure, it will be interesting to see how this model differs in popularity. We think although this headset has a chance of being revealed at the Unpacked Event, an actual release date is very, very unlikely.
Is Samsung coming out with smart glasses?
And finally, this is a prediction that we personally have come up with ourselves. With the increasing popularity of smart glasses and the amount revealed at CES 2025, it wouldn’t be a complete shock if we saw Samsung announce new smart glasses. Although there is no evidence or proof that smart glasses could be released, we think Samsung will release something unique and special, and if it isn’t the Android headset, it might as well be smart glasses.
