More from Galaxy Unpacked 2025: everything announced at the January event

No surprise there. Guessing AI is going to be a big part of this presentation. The place is filling up with about 10 minutes to go.

It’s a time-honored Verge tradition to critique the wait music before an event. Let’s say it’s... elevated elevator music, or as David said, knockoff jazz. Some of us are agog and aghast. Others say the jaunty tune has their toes a-tappin’. (They’re wrong.) Taking bets on whether it’s Galaxy AI-generated.

The best way I can describe the vibe on the stream, 20 minutes before showtime, is “knockoff jazz music.” It sounds like the soundtrack for the waiting lobby in a video game, if the game you’re about to play is about to get sued by Nintendo. Does any of that make sense? All I know is it sounds AI-generated, and Shazam can’t even figure out what it is.

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event kicks off at 1PM ET. We’re expecting the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, but Samsung may have a few surprises. Who knows? We’ll also have a story stream with all the news from San Jose, California, if you want to follow along.

We’re here in San Jose ready to see some new Galaxy phones! This is the second year in a row Samsung is hosting this event in a hockey arena, and all I’m saying is I’d better hear some air horns this time.
