Samsung Galaxy S25 FAQ

When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 come out?

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series — which is expected to include the new Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra — is likely to be announced during an Unpacked event in mid-January with an official street date later that month.

This prediction is entirely based on previous rollouts that we’ve seen from Samsung. The Galaxy S24 lineup, for example, was announced on January 17th, 2024 and subsequently released on January 31st. The Galaxy S23 series, on the other hand, was announced a bit later, with a February 1st, 2023, announcement and a February 17th release date.

How much will the Samsung Galaxy S25 cost?

While nothing has been confirmed quite yet, rumors from earlier this year suggest that the Galaxy S25 series’ Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset may result in considerably higher price tags than previous Galaxy S phones. While we wait for official news from Samsung, you can speculate a bit by considering the price tags found on the Galaxy S24 series.

The base model Galaxy S24 starts at $799 for the 128GB configuration, while the Galaxy S24 Plus costs $999 with 256GB of storage. The super-powerful Galaxy S24 Ultra is the most expensive of the bunch, with a starting retail price of $1,299 for the 256GB version. If the rumors are true, you can expect all of those prices to go up by $100 or so, which is all the more reason to look for a preorder deal when they become available.
