It's January, which can only mean one thing: a new generation of Samsung Galaxy smartphones is likely Only around the corner. Samsung has already teased the next devices in the series with an interesting reservation campaign and announced that the next Galaxy Unpacked keynote will take place on January 22nd.
The Samsung Unpacked event traditionally presents the next generation of devices. So if you're interested, it's time to prepare for an upgrade.
As TechRadar's deals editor, I've covered the launch of every generation of Galaxy devices for over four years, so I'm well-equipped to tell our readers what to expect. In short, it's almost certain that the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra (if the devices are called that) will get discounts of up to $1,000. Several major airlines may also entice would-be upgraders with free offers – which I'll discuss in more detail below.
Note that I will report on the best deals as soon as they become available here locally. So don't hesitate to stop by after the keynote for recommendations. You can also check out this week's best cell phone deals. If you want promotions, you can buy them now.
Reservations for the next Galaxy device are online
I predict the Galaxy S25 deals later this month
When will pre-orders go online?
In general, Samsung usually starts pre-orders for new phones right after the keynote reveal; Therefore, there is a high probability that the next range will be available from January 22nd.
Samsung opened pre-orders for the Galaxy S24 in January and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in July 2024 right after the keynote, so I expect the same scenario for this upcoming event. If you recall, pre-orders also went live on Verizon, AT&T, and other major carriers on the same day, so we'll likely have plenty of options for pre-order deals.
