Samsung has just unveiled its newest Galaxy S25 series at its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event. As expected, the lineup includes three flagship Galaxy phones: the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Pre-orders for all three devices begin today, January 22, and you can get handsome rewards and discounts when you lock in your order before the February 7 release date.
Like the iPhone 16 Series, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is the mantra for Samsung's new Galaxy S25 phones. The hardware remains unchanged. The S25 devices have the same dimensions and slim, lightweight construction as the previous S24 series. Only the Galaxy S25 Ultra gets slight upgrades on the outside, with more rounded corners and a more durable Corning Gorilla Armor 2 front glass panel.
