Samsung’sGalaxy AIwas the star of today’s show, as we expected.
Just as soon as it collects all of your data, first.

Ok Galaxy fans, today is your day.
Is Samsung hiding all the good stuff inside?
That means the Galaxy S25 could the fastest phone ever, even faster than the iPhone 16 Pro.

What will Samsung do with so much power?
That’s what we’re waiting to find out.
One of the biggest questions we have remaining today surrounds the mysterious, so-called Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.
Samsung could also be leading the charge with a slimmer Galaxy S25 today, a Galaxy S25 Slim.
Samsung isn’t just throwing a party in San Jose, today.
Clearly the 10am Samsung crowd in California is different from the 6pm Samsung crowd across the pond.

When the ice cube says AI, believe it.
We are go for Galaxy Unpacked.
The Live stream should start any minute, and I’m watching at Samsung.com.

Roh says it will anticipate your needs.
No specifics on how it will do all of this, but Roh is moving onto privacy.
But what data will it store?
We haven’t heard specific examples yet.
Roh is saying today marks a beginning of a new reality.
We’re going to hear a lot of this sort of talk today.
A new beginning, opening a door, starting something big.
We’re at the start of the new mobile AI phase, not in the middle.
That’s fine, the phone is still going to be a top performer.
Hopefully we’ll see more about the features available today, instead of just talking about tomorrow.
The Now Brief will proactively share information tailored to you when it matters most, according to Blackard.
We’re now seeing a new update to the Samsung side bar tool, adding an AI Assist feature.
Google is talking about new multi-modal context capabilities coming to Gemini Live on the Galaxy S25 first.
These seem like baby steps towards a true AI user interface, but we’re getting closer.
Google is offering 6 months of Gemini Advanced and 2TB of Google Cloud storage to all Galaxy S25 buyers.
Whoa, a hint about Project Meehan, Samsung’s upcoming XR goggles.
When are we getting Samsung XR glasses?!
Tell us more, now!
Instead they are talking about more AI in the future and keeping data secure and blah blah blah.
This isn’t very fun.
What’s the benefit?
We shall see, eventually.
The Galaxy S25 series comes in luminant shades of blue inspired by AI.
Samsung just said that.
It isn’t just three stars, it’s actually the color blue.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is not blue.
Samsung is talking about the camera, starting with the ProVisual engine inside.
The other specs remain completely the same across the entire range.
That will include personalized insights and coaching, usually advice to get more sleep.
It might also turn off your Samsung TV.
We’re hearing about how the phone will connect with other Samsung devices around your home.
Also, we’ve only heard about gathering information about your home, and turning off the TV.
Samsung will now let you monitor your pets and help them watch more TV.
Blackard just said ‘Bixby,’ so I think I got BINGO!
Bixby is the AI that controls your phone, and possibly other Samsung smart devices.
Wait, there’s ONE MORE THING!
The Galaxy S25 EDGE!!!
What is this?!
Thankfully our diligent screenshot people caught that one.
I think we’ll learn more about this in a few months.
That’s the end of Unpacked, and we have all the news you need.
