First of all the date for the event has finally been confirmed. The leaked date of January 22 was indeed correct. Galaxy Unpacked will take place shortly after president elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. I suppose Samsung considers two days enough for the mainstream media to move on from that to the company’s newest phones.
Now come the more interesting bits of the poster. There are four smartphones being shown off here. We’ve known about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim for a while now but no one expected it to be launched alongside the other S25 phones. I’d wager that the Slim will only be announced on January 22 with a release date set later in the year and is only featured on the poster because it will be present at the event.

Lastly there is the arrangement of the phones themselves. With the light shining through, the space between the four phones is clearly meant to represent the Galaxy AI logo. That makes sense as Galaxy AI is expected to be a major focal point at the event. Samsung has revamped Bixby as an LLM (Large Language Model) AI and has seemingly beat Apple to the AI features it promised.
Now we know that some of the best phones of next year are coming out on January 22, 2025. The S25 Ultra in particular is going to get many people’s attention with its Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16 GB of RAM.
But it also might be worth waiting for the Galaxy S25 Slim to come out.
