Samsung Leaks Point To Galaxy S25 Ultra Release Date

Later this month, Samsung will host its latest Galaxy Unpacked launch event, and the Samsung community will get their first look at the presumptively-named Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. When can they expect to see the new handsets, when will pre-orders open, and when will the new OneUI-powered Android flagships reach them?

When Will The Galaxy S25 Ultra Be Announced?

It is widely assumed that Samsung will host the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22nd. This date was first mooted through leaked promotional images of an Italian launch event. The photos (which have since been taken offline, included the date of 22nd January 2025.

Since then, various tipsters have pushed the January 22nd date. While some have highlighted January 23 instead, a careful look at the timezones of all the reports points to a morning time slot on the West Coast of America on the 22nd.

When Will Pre-Orders For The Galaxy S25 Ultra Open

In previous years, the pre-order window for the new Galaxy S handsets has opened at the end of the event, allowing those watching the livestream to sign up immediately. The current information is that pre-orders will launch two days after the event, on Friday January 24th, and remain open until Tuesday February 4th.

If Samsung follows the same pattern as in previous years, the pre-order window will have several offers to encourage consumers to sign up. These have included discounts on accessories (including the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds), a bump up to the next storage level, and web-exclusive colors only available through Samsung’s website.

When Will The Galaxy S25 Ultra Go On Sale?

Following the pre-order window, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, along with the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+, will go on sale on Friday February 7th. This sticks with Samsung’s traditional two-week gap from the opening of pre-orders to the handsets going on sale in various regions around the world.
