Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled its newest Galaxy S25 smartphones, powered by Qualcomm's chips and Google's artificial-intelligence model, hoping its upgraded AI features can reinvigorate sales and fend off Apple and Chinese rivals.

The new Galaxy S25 line was officially launched at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked today. However, it took Samsung a long time to get to the main event. Unlike previous events where the latest smartphones kicked things off, it took 30 minutes for Samsung to start talking about the S25 and a whole hour to eventually even show off the S25 line.

At Samsung Unpacked S25, Samsung showed off an AI-curated “Now Brief” that transforms the lock screen into a daily report.
