In the quiet months before the new year, Samsung appears to be repositioning itself at the front of the smartphone calendar. A leaked customer survey suggests the Galaxy S25 series will be unveiled on January 5, 2025 — nearly two weeks ahead of the schedule set by its predecessor — with a major software update expected to debut alongside it. Whether driven by confidence in the product or a desire to outpace rivals in the competitive early-quarter market, the move signals that Samsung is not content to follow its own rhythm when the stakes are this high.
