We're going to get our first official look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 very soon, with credible rumors pointing to a Galaxy Unpacked 2025 launch event later this month. And once that event happens — whether it's on January 22 as rumored or at some later date — we'll finally find out if Samsung's latest phones offer enough to get existing Galaxy owners to upgrade their handset.
The answer to that question will certainly depend on what you want from a phone and just how long you've been holding on to your current Galaxy model. Year-over-year phone changes tend to be pretty modest, so if you jumped on the Galaxy S24 train last year, you're likely less inclined to seek out a new device. If your current phone is getting up there in years, though, an upgrade is more likely to feel like a big leap forward.
