Continuing the trend of recent years, the next-generation Galaxy S series will include three models – Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Ahead of the event, Samsung has confirmed several details about One UI 7 and Galaxy AI. The Android 15-based user interface will introduce new features such as the “Now Bar” on the lock screen, which displays app activity tailored to user preferences and curated with AI assistance, as well as Google Gemini Live integration. The camera interface and system UI are also set to incorporate redesigned elements.

 

Regarding Galaxy AI, the company is expected to introduce AI-powered writing tools integrated into the system keyboard, offering text summarisation, writing style suggestions, spelling and grammar checks, and bullet-point formatting. Other anticipated AI-driven features include multimodal AI support for text, speech, and photo inputs; expanded language support for call transcription; and advanced video editing tools.  Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025: Livestream
