Samsung has a big announcement to make.

How to watch Galaxy Unpacked 2025
Samsung is broadcasting Galaxy Unpacked live from San Jose on its YouTube channel and website. The stream is set to kick off at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, and you can watch it on any device capable of playing a YouTube video. I’ll have it fired up on my TV to see what Samsung has up its sleeve this time around.
What to expect at Unpacked
Samsung is widely expected to announce the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra at its event today. There have been a lot of rumors around a Galaxy S25 Slim as well, although it doesn’t seem like it’ll make its debut today considering current rumors suggest it won’t ship until May. Still, Samsung might tease the device as a sort of “one more thing” surprise.
As for the three other phones, the Galaxy S25 series is expected to come with tweaked designs with flatter edges than before, similar Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays, and improved camera quality while retaining the same hardware as the S24 lineup (at least for the most part). They’ll be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, plenty of RAM (we’re hearing 16GB for the S25 Ultra), and - potentially - Qi2 wireless charging. The S25 Ultra may also set a new record for smartphone bezels thanks to how thin they are.
In addition, the phones will be powered by One UI 7 with Samsung’s Galaxy AI onboard. Battery life is expected to increase across the lineup, and each phone will come in a variety of new colors.
We could also see some surprises during Samsung’s event, although it’s unclear what those surprises could be. We’ll have to tune in to find out.
