Well-known and trusted tipster Max Jambor shared a mysterious post on X that simply reads “22.1.” Although the message doesn’t directly mention any specific device, it seems to point towards the Galaxy S25 series launch date. If the leak holds up, Samsung could be unveiling the new phones – and possibly the Android 15-based One UI 7 update – at an Unpacked event on January 22, 2025.
So, overall, though various rumors toss around different dates, one thing seems pretty clear: Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S25 series in January. And I believe it won’t be long before we get the official confirmation of the exact date.
Now, what can we expect from the Galaxy S25 series, no matter when it drops? Well, for one, the entire series in the US is likely to come with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. In regions like Europe, though, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus might feature the Exynos 2500 instead, although there’s been some back-and-forth on that front lately.
The Galaxy S25 series will run on One UI 7, which is based on the upcoming Android 15. One UI 7 is shaping up to be a major update, with some notable changes to both the design and interface. Expect a revamped lock screen, a split Notification Panel and Quick Settings, a refreshed overview screen, a new battery icon and features, and some exciting AI enhancements. On top of that, the Galaxy S25 series could be Samsung’s first flagship to support seamless A/B software updates. This means smoother updates with minimal disruption, allowing users to keep using their phones while the system updates in the background.
