Samsung just debuted three new phones at its biannual Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event today. Here’s how to pre-order the all-new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra phone.

Samsung touted improvements to its Galaxy AI system and the AI-enabled Google Gemini assistant. Most of the upgrades are available on the latest One UI 7 software release, which will be available for older S-series generations sometime after the S25 release, Samsung says.

The Galaxy S25 is a tale of two AIs: Gemini and Bixby. Yes, while Google's Gemini AI assistant sits at the forefront—it can finally be triggered through a long press of the power button—Samsung is bringing its original Bixby voice assistant out from the shadows.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is marketed as 'Qi2 ready,' but this requires a specific magnetic case. The phones themselves lack built-in magnets for magnetic alignment with Qi2 chargers. Only one official Samsung case currently enables true Qi2 functionality (magnetic alignment and fast wireless charging),

Two years after it was announced, Samsung is adopting the latest Qi2 standard in the Galaxy S25 series, but it’s not in the way you probably hoped, and you’re going to run into an immediate problem with existing accessories.

The company’s new smartphones do not have Qi2 wireless charging built in natively. Just give me my magnetic Android phone already!
