The wait for the first Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event of the year is almost over. On Wednesday, January 22, you’ll be able to watch Samsung announce its newest devices. Based on the combination of recent history and credible leaks, you can safely assume that the event will include an updated lineup of Galaxy S25 phones (including Ultra, Plus and regular models) at the very least.
The new phones are more or less guaranteed to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and sport some amount of design tweaks, and new colors. And Samsung’s recent blog post effectively confirmed that its new One UI 7 — announced at a Samsung developer event in 2024 — will be part of the Wednesday reveal, so expect more details on how the operating system revamp will actually impact using the company’s new devices.

Beyond that, Galaxy AI will be featured prominently, based on Samsung’s original announcement of the event, and it seems possible the company could include an update on its wearables and more information about Project Moohan, the headset it’s developing for Google’s Android XR platform.
The event begins at 1PM ET / 10AM PT in-person in San Jose and online everywhere else. If you plan on watching, you can find a stream on Samsung.com, in Samsung’s Newsroom, or watch along right here in the YouTube video embedded above. Engadget will also be liveblogging the event, with the countdown starting a full two hours before showtime (we’ll add the link here once it’s live).
