Samsung Galaxy S25 series: Early preorder dates, release schedule and specifications leaked

Korean tech giant Samsung could host its highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22nd (January 23rd in some regions), where the company is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series. Leaked invites for the event have already suggested the date, while also hinting at the potential reveal of a fourth smartphone during the event.

According to a recent report from Korean news outlet Fnnews, the Galaxy S25 series will be available for purchase in South Korea on February 7th, 2025—two weeks after the Unpacked event, reported Android Police.

This release schedule aligns with Samsung’s typical pre-order window for new Galaxy devices, making the February date seem highly plausible. Preorders for the devices in South Korea will reportedly open from January 24th and continue until February 3rd.

The report added that international markets, including the United States, are expected to follow a similar preorder timeline, with availability likely in early February. This is in line with the release schedule for the Galaxy S24, which was available from January 31st following its Unpacked event on January 17th, 2024.

Notably, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be available with 16GB of RAM, though only the 512GB and 1TB storage variants will likely feature this capacity. The base 256GB model is expected to come with 12GB of RAM. The Galaxy S25 and S25+ models are also expected to feature 12GB of RAM as standard, a significant upgrade over their predecessors.

In an intriguing twist, the tech company is rumoured to also unveil a Galaxy S25 Slim at the Unpacked event. This model is expected to stand out for its ultra-thin design, potentially measuring less than 7mm in thickness. While the Slim version will likely be teased during the event, its full release is not expected until later in 2025.
