Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date: January 5th leak might be a mistake
Samsung Galaxy S25 series may not release on January 5, 2025. Recently, a wild rumor based on a retailer surface surfaced online claiming the next-gen Galaxies will go official on January 5th.
A retailer has recently conducted an online survey; asking shoppers their preferred timeframe to pre-order the 2025 Samsung flagships. The survey hinted at the possibility of the Galaxy S25 series release on January 5, 2025.
Samsung usually kickstarts pre-reservation around 10 days before unveiling flagship products. Once the product is officially unveiled, it goes on pre-order, which often lasts for a period of ten days to two weeks.
That said, the launch timeframe was aligned with December 25 – Christmas 2024. However, credible leaker @chunvn8888 having confirmed info revealed that January 5th is not the release date for the Galaxy S25 series.
The retailer’s survey has nothing to do with Samsung’s product unveiling schedule. The development renders the Galaxy S25 release date an ongoing mystery, which could only be solved if an authentic and genuine input appears.
The Galaxy S24 series was unveiled in mid-January and went on sale starting January 31. The company has pushed ahead the launch schedule from February (in 2023) to January (in 2024) to better compete with Apple iPhone models.
Galaxy S25 Series Key Specs and Price
Snapdragon 8 Elite could exclusively power the Galaxy S25 series. Samsung is unlikely to bring display or camera upgrades to the next flagships. However, there will be huge performance and battery efficiency improvements onboard.
Samsung Galaxy S25 could start at $799 for the base variant. The Galaxy S25 Plus could come with a starting price tag of $999 for a 256GB model. The S25 Ultra could be priced at $1399 for a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model.

Your Samsung Galaxy could soon let you launch Gemini AI through the power button. Currently, you can either launch Bixby or the power menu by pressing the side key.
AndroidAuthority discovered that Gemini AI may be linked to the power button on your Samsung devices. It will unlock fast and easy access to launch the new AI-powered assistant by Google.
Google app’s latest version suggests that the Gemini AI app could soon be triggered by long-pressing the power key on Samsung Galaxy devices.
Once released, the new feature will be displayed through the Gemini AI intro screen that’ll appear in the setup wizard for Samsung devices, informing users that they can “hold down the Side button to talk to Gemini.”
Similar to Google Assistant, Gemini can also be summoned by saying “Hey Google.” However, the power button feature will be a stunning integration, as part of improving user experience.
Since the launch, Google has been evolving the Gemini AI assistant. The platform has recently added a Gemini Live feature for Android users, letting them uniquely use AI magic.
Meanwhile, the power button feature won’t remain limited to just Samsung devices. More strings suggest that Android phones that use the term “power button” will also get the update.
Well, it remains to be seen when the update rolls out for Samsung devices. The Stable One UI 7 could activate the feature after possible unveiling with the Galaxy S25 series early next year.
