Hours before the official event, the Galaxy S25 puzzle is complete. What to expect — and what it changes for your purchase.
The date
Samsung goes official at the end of January — a one-week slip from habit. First availability follows within 2-3 weeks.
Specs confirmed by leaks
- Snapdragon 8 Elite across the lineup — the Exynos lottery ends
- 12 GB RAM base, even on the compact
- S24 screens carried over, brightness up
- Galaxy AI 2.0 as the central argument
