When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 series be released in the Philippines?

If the pattern holds, the Galaxy S25 is likely going live in the first three months of 2025.

After seeing the current offers of the flagship iOS bearer, everyone is now waiting for what the other corner has to say. Among many, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will bear the next-generation Android and of course, a whole set of features centered around AI. But when will it arrive in the Philippines?

The Pattern

Unlike other Samsung Galaxy series, the flagship Galaxy S series gets a special treatment. Galaxy A, M, and other lineups may arrive at official flagship and authorized physical and online stores without notice.

The Galaxy S series is teased and announced to get the attention of the whole world. Plus, you won’t know the official price until the launch event. But one thing is constant in recent years, the flagship series is revealed in the first quarter of the new year.

The Galaxy S23 series, composed of the base Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, was announced for global launch in February 2023. This year, the Galaxy S24 series, which includes Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and the base Galaxy S24, was confirmed for worldwide release in January.

So, expect the worldwide rollout of the Galaxy S25 series from January to March 2025.

Global Launch and Pre-orders

What happens once the series is announced? Pre-orders! That’s what happened when the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 series were revealed to the world. The prices will appear first on the Samsung online store, network carriers, and authorized retailers.

The series’ launch will initially go through a pre-order period because the units haven’t arrived across all retail channels. This period may last for several weeks or almost a month to give ample time for users to avail exciting promos. Then, the series becomes available for a trade-in period so buyers can get a discount. The pre-order period may also include trade-in mechanics.

In Malaysia, the Galaxy S23’s pre-order period started on February 2, 2023 and it included perks, such as double storage and discounted prices for other Samsung devices. In the Philippines, the pre-order period for the Galaxy S24 began on January 18, 2024 with perks like double storage for the same price and up to 50% off on Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch series.

The trade-in period, which may last for several weeks, lets you cut down the SRP of a Galaxy S smartphone. For Galaxy S24, the max savings was PHP 53,500 for a Galaxy S24 Ultra purchase.

However, there are eligibility rules for a trade-in but even a non-S series may be used. If you’re a Samsung Galaxy fan, the trade-in is one of the big reasons why you should take good care of your current Galaxy device. 

Expected Specifications

While we can’t confirm the specs of each device in the Galaxy S25 series, we have an idea of what the Galaxy S25 Ultra may have. But first things first, the series may get Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 instead of Samsung’s next-gen Exynos chipset.

That’s yey for performance but ney for the cost. The new Snapdragon CPU for mobile will significantly increase the price due to exclusivity. That means even the non-Ultra models are receiving the same processor.

For the specs, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will sport a 6.8-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with 2K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. It’s speculated with 16 GB of RAM and internal storage of up to 1 TB.

It’s also rumored with four cameras at the back spearheaded by the 200 MP main sensor. It’s accompanied with a telephoto lens, periscope telephoto lens, and ultra-wide sensor.

Will you buy a Galaxy S25 smartphone during the pre-order period?
