That\u2019s according to South Korean site FNNews (via @Jukanlosreve), citing \u201cindustry sources.\u201d It\u2019s a date that makes sense, since based on past form we always expected to see the Galaxy S25 range appear in either January or February.<\/p>\n
The site adds that the launch event is likely to happen in San Francisco, and that \u2013 surprisingly \u2013 the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim might be unveiled at the same time.<\/p>\n
An unexpectedly early arrival for the S25 Slim<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve heard rumblings that Samsung was working on a \u2018Slim\u2019 model, but most leaks so far have suggested this thinner phone would arrive two or three months after the rest of the line.<\/p>\n
Apparently though, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is in the final stages of development, and Samsung is hoping to have it finished in time for a January 23 launch, so that it can have as much of a head start as possible on the slim iPhone 17 Air that\u2019s rumored to be landing later in 2025.<\/p>\n
It sounds then like there\u2019s a chance the Galaxy S25 Slim won\u2019t be ready in time, though perhaps in that case Samsung will still announce it on January 23, with the phone then going on sale later than the rest of the Galaxy S25 models.<\/p>\n
We\u2019d take all of this with a pinch of salt anyway. This is the first real Samsung Galaxy S25 release date leak we’ve seen, so until other sources start agreeing or disagreeing it\u2019s hard to say how likely this all is.<\/p>\n

I reiterate that all versions of the Galaxy S25 series in the world adopt Snapdragon 8 Elite, and will not adopt Exynos.November 13, 2024<\/p>\n
In other Samsung Galaxy S25 news, leaker @UniverseIce has reiterated their claim that every model in the line will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, everywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s an unusual approach for Samsung, which typically uses its own Exynos chipsets in some regions, but this seems to be the consensus among leakers now, so we\u2019d say it\u2019s likely that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will indeed be used everywhere.<\/p>\n
That should be good news, as typically Samsung\u2019s Exynos chipsets can\u2019t quite match the Snapdragon alternatives for performance.<\/p>\n
