The textual content isn’t precisely degree-level Italian, but when it’s not instantly apparent, “Gennaio” is “January”. So Wednesday 22 January 2025 — which isn’t stunning, because the final three winter Unpacked occasions have additionally been held on Wednesdays.

Alternatively, the fourth could possibly be the rumored Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim. However that isn’t tipped to arrive until the summer, possibly as an exotic rebrand for the FE line.
This doesn’t imply that’s improper, after all, and if I needed to guess, Samsung will merely tease the Slim on the occasion, with a promise of a launch later within the yr. Nonetheless, an look could be sufficient for it to characteristic as a part of the poster and, if right, that’s thrilling as we’d quickly get an concept of precisely how skinny it’s, and whether or not Apple ought to really feel threatened because it continues to work on the iPhone 17 Slim.
Whereas simply 35 days away, the Samsung Galaxy S25 received’t be the primary massive cellphone of the yr to reach, after all. Simply yesterday, it was formally confirmed that the OnePlus 13 will get a global release on January 7. With each of those prone to be amongst the best phones of the yr, 2025 will likely be getting off to a powerful begin.
