The launch of the Galaxy S25 was expected at the end of January 2025, but according to a new leak, Samsung does not want to wait that long and is working on launching this new family of smartphones on January 5, 2025that is, in the very first week of the mentioned month, which coincides with the week before CES.

This date was obtained from Samsung’s official research and is related to Galaxy S25 pre-orders, so general availability may be a week later than we’ve seen with previous launches. If confirmed, we’ll have to wait to buy the Galaxy S25 without going through pre-order until January 14.

If we compare with the Galaxy S24, we can see that Samsung has moved forward. These terminals They were presented on January 17 of this yearon that date, pre-sales were already open, but general availability did not occur until January 24. The difference is not very big, but it shows a clear tendency on Samsung’s part to push forward with the launch of its new flagship terminals a little more each time.

Samsung should launch a total of three Galaxy S25 models this year, standard, “Plus” and “Ultra”. I already talked about them in depth in this article, so I invite you to the review if you want to dive into its possible design, its specifications and its possible selling price. All indications are that they will all use the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, but this is not confirmed.

There are also rumors that Samsung might launch a Galaxy S25 Slim. It makes sense, as this terminal would serve Samsung as a competitor to the Apple iPhone 17 Air, but even that is not confirmed. The latest we know is that its launch may have been pushed back to mid-2025, and that its specifications may differ from those of the models arriving in January of that year.

Although none of what was said has been confirmed by Samsung and won’t be for obvious reasons, everything makes sense. The company launched the Galaxy S24 in January, so it makes sense that it wants to repeat the launch of its next generation in that month. It also makes sense that you want to go for a slightly earlier launch to compete with the iPhone 16 as soon as possible.

The Galaxy S25 series will launch on January 5, according to an online customer survey for the promotion, when it’s up for pre-order. pic.twitter.com/SGmM3NNQho
