Samsung Galaxy S25 release date confirmed (for the full range)

As predicted, Samsung has given us around two weeks to pre order their new phones before they actually hit the shelves and pre order deliveries go out.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 release date, Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus release date, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra release date have all been confirmed as Friday 7th of February, 2025.

You can now (following the end of the presentation) pre order all three phones from the Samsung store and get access to additional pre order bonuses.

Samsung Galaxy S25 specs, Galaxy S25+ specs & Galaxy S25 Ultra specs

Samsung has now confirmed (most of) the specification details of their new phones at their Galaxy Unpacked event, and it turns out the leaked specs were entirely correct. As you can see below, all three phone types are tipped to come with the same latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same 12GB of RAM as standard, and all with a maximum 120Hz refresh rate. The main differences in the Ultra version are the better cameras and WiFi 7 support, plus higher starting amount of storage (before any upgrades).

Samsung Galaxy S25 price (for the full range)

Despite fears that the Galaxy S25 lineup might come with a higher price tag than the S24 line did when they were initially released, it seems that Samsung has decided to keep their pricing exactly as it was before, and we are not complaining!

Below is the starting price / MSRP of each of the variants in the range, obviously adding more storage to your phone will cause the price to increase, and the retailer price may differ somewhat depending on your region.


When can you pre-order the Samsung S25 Ultra?

As predicted, Samsung stuck to its usual pattern of smartphone releases and allowed you to pre order the Samsung Galaxy S25 series as soon as the Galaxy Unpacked presentation ended on Jan 22nd. Pre orders are now live so be sure to not waste time and miss out on your potential pre order bonus. As we detail in our Samsung Galaxy S25 pre order bonus guide, there are various ways you can save some money if you buy within this time window.

How fast can the S25 Ultra charge?

Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery just like the previous generation, which hwe assume also comes with 45W fast-charging (though this particular details hasn’t yet been confirmed). In the S24 Ultra this enabled the phone to reach approximately 70% charge (starting from 0%) in about 30 minutes time, so we can probably expect similar results with the latest S25 Ultra model.
