Samsung is set to unveil its latest mobile AI experiences with the launch of its new Galaxy S series. The company has announced its upcoming "Unpacked" event is scheduled for January 22, where we’ll get a closer look at how its next generation of smartphones is aiming to make everyday tech smarter, simpler, and more connected. With artificial intelligence becoming a bigger part of our devices, this could mean exciting changes for how we interact with our phones.

The event will be live-streamed globally, so anyone can tune in to see what Samsung has in store. While details are still under wraps, the focus is clear—AI is taking center stage. This likely means better personalization, smarter tools for daily tasks, and a smoother overall experience for Galaxy users. Samsung claims that the new AI will be more natural and intuitive, as well as "set the bar for mobile AI experiences," so we are definitely excited to see what's next.

That said, the rumor mill has been churning for some time now on what we should expect from the Galaxy S25 series. Reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 could adopt a more iPhone-inspired design, featuring rounded corners and flat edges. Additionally, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is expected to power all three new S25 models, potentially enhancing performance and efficiency.

Camera setups on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus may remain similar to the Galaxy S24, but there are whispers about the S25 Ultra receiving significant camera upgrades, including a 50MP ultrawide lens and variable telephoto capabilities. Battery capacities are rumored to stay the same, with the possibility of Qi2 magnetic wireless charging being introduced.
