After months of leaks and speculation the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is finally here – the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra were officially released on February 7.
The new flagship Samsung Galaxy phones are available now from Samsung directly, as well as third party retailers and carriers, and are shipping immediately. If you can't wait for postage, the phones are also available in brick-and-mortar Samsung stores, as well as other retailers.
Below, you’ll find a recap of when the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra were announced, and when pre-orders opened.
Then, further down we’ve included information on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which the company has teased but not yet released, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, which is so far unconfirmed but may well land at some point.

Samsung Galaxy S25 on-sale date
The Samsung Galaxy S25 release date is February 7, meaning you can get a Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, or Galaxy S25 Ultra online or in person right now– this is also the day by which preorder buyers should have received their phones.
As well as Samsung's online and retail stores, the Galaxy S25 lineup is available from a wide range of retailers and carriers. The Galaxy S25 and its siblings are likely to be produced in massive numbers, so availability should rarely be an issue.
However, some lucky preorder buyers may have received their Galaxy S25 before this date. Samsung advertised delivery from February 4 in the UK, and from February 6 in Australia, though in the US it simply said you’ll get it by February 7.
In any case, the phones are officially released now, so getting your hands on one is as simple as placing an order or walking into a store to pick one out in person.
Samsung Galaxy S25 announcement date
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series – including the Galaxy S25 itself, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra – was announced on January 22 at the first Samsung Galaxy Unpacked of 2025.
These phones weren’t alone though, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge also getting revealed, and the company’s Project Moohan mixed reality headset being shown off for a second time.

Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order date
Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-orders went live the same day as the announcement, so in other words January 22, and customers were able to pre-order anytime between now and the day before the phones officially released.
As is standard for Samsung a variety of perks and bonuses were offered for preorder customers.
The specifics depended on the country and retailer, but in the US, UK and Australia Samsung offered a free storage upgrade for preorder buyers
Though the free storage upgrade offer has ended, Samsung is still offering generous trade-in offers for all three models.
What about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and S25 FE?
As well as announcing the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung also teased the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a phone that’s much slimmer than the rest of the S25 line, but only has two rear cameras.
Samsung didn’t reveal any specs or say when this phone will launch, but previous leaks suggested we might see this phone land in or around May.
There’s also the possibility of a more affordable Samsung Galaxy S25 FE model, as Samsung often launches FE versions. But this hasn’t yet been confirmed, and if it does launch, we wouldn’t expect it to do so for quite a while, since the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE only went on sale in October of 2024.
