What to expect
Samsung has confirmed that it'll launch its new Galaxy phones during the event, but hasn't specified anything more than that.
It'll also "unveil a new chapter in mobile AI" and we fully expect it to focus heavily on the new Galaxy AI features coming with One UI 7 (which should launch on older handsets soon, too).
We are pretty sure that we'll be seeing the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra launched during Unpacked, but there might be something else too – in the form of a tease, perhaps?
The invite for the event shows the Galaxy AI logo cleverly made using the corners of four unannounced phones – four! With only three handsets expected to be launched, that leaves another unaccounted for.
It has been rumoured that a Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim model could be the mystery additional phone, but that's not tipped for launch itself. Instead, claims are that it will follow at a later date although Samsung might tease the device at the end of the show, much like it did the Galaxy Ring last year.
It is also rumoured that Samsung could tease Project Moohan, too. The Apple Vision Pro-like headset has been officially confirmed already, as part of a Qualcomm event at the end of last year, but we might find out a bit more.
Well just have to watch until the end to find out.
