Samsung’s exciting new flagship launch is just a few weeks away, and promises an Android upgrade that’s the closest we’ve seen yet to iPhone, at least from a security and privacy perspective. Android 15 which hit Pixels late last year has already raised the bar, but Samsung will take this further when its One UI 7 is released alongside the S25.

Samsung will launch its Galaxy S25 lineup on January 22, featuring the S25 Ultra with a 6.9-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a 200MP camera. The S24 Ultra, released last year, has similar specs but a slightly smaller display and different chipset.

Previous rumours had suggested Samsung might announce a Galaxy S25 Slim model alongside the other S25 devices during Galaxy Unpacked. However, that speculation has now been squashed. It's now claimed the Slim could launch in May instead.
