Samsung has announced its plans to launch the Galaxy S25 on January 22nd, following months of discounted sales for the previous model. The company is sending £50 ($62) vouchers to registered users who answer a questionnaire about their smartphone usage and interests.
The pre-order offer includes $1,250 in “additional savings” and enhanced trade-in values. Samsung is emphasizing its focus on high trade-in prices for new phones from Apple and Samsung, but also notes that old handsets may be valuable.
One of the main features being touted is the “next evolution of Galaxy AI.” A short video teaser shows a talking chatbot powered by Bixby, an in-house AI tool that’s been refreshed. According to reports, Bixby can understand complex natural language requests and answer follow-up questions without context.
The integration of this AI technology with the Galaxy S25 could offer unique features, such as using AI to navigate through a smartphone or explain complex features. Samsung will host its “Galaxy Unpacked” event on January 22nd, where these new features and more information about the Galaxy S25 will be revealed.
