CES 2025 is a great opportunity to showcase technological innovations. Rather than mobile, Samsung prefers Home AI and appliances to be showcased at the exhibition. It solidifies the Galaxy S25 unveiling to happen separately.

Samsung could introduce the new flagships in late January next year. Korean media reported that a Galaxy Unpacked could be held on January 22. The next-gen Galaxy flagships are expected to gain a positive response in the market.
