We recently showed you leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25+ that were posted by Hall of Fame leaker Evan Blass.
On that date, we should see Sammy’s 2025 flagship series unveiled which includes the two aforementioned Galaxy S25 models along with the plain vanilla Galaxy S25.
Despite the recent leaks from Evan, it was a tweet from @Jukanlosreve showing images of the Samsung Galaxy S25+ that got multiple Samsung employees fired.
Interestingly, all of this took place the day before Blass was able to leak images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25+ along with the date that the Galaxy S25 series will be announced.
You might think that companies like Samsung love leaks because it promotes some of its upcoming devices.
Hall of Fame leaker Evan Blass recently shared leaked pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25+ with us. Blass simultaneously shared a leaked promotional poster indicating that January 22nd is the date of the first Unpacked event in 2025. On that day, Sammy’s 2025 flagship series—which includes the two Galaxy S25 models mentioned above in addition to the standard Galaxy S25—should be unveiled.
Several Samsung employees were fired as a result of a tweet from @Jukanlosreve that included pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S25+, despite recent leaks from Evan. If you’re curious as to why live photos of unannounced phones frequently include tape covering specific areas of the device, it’s done to conceal any numbers or characters that might be used to identify the person or people who leaked the phone to the media.
Regarding the Galaxy S25+, the tweet’s images were unable to conceal the device identification number that Samsung utilized to identify the image leakers. Selling leaked pictures of a highly anticipated device can be a lucrative side gig for many people who work for companies that assemble gadgets like phones or who are employed by phone manufacturers. If you are caught doing it, however, you will lose your job.
Another tweet, this one from @AllAboutSamsung editor Max Jambor, reveals the Galaxy S25+’s identification numbers, which Samsung used to track down the leak’s perpetrators and terminate them. Interestingly, all of this happened the day before Blass was able to reveal the date of the Galaxy S25 series’ announcement along with pictures of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25+.
Given that it advertises some of its upcoming devices, you might assume that businesses like Samsung enjoy leaks. However, companies such as Samsung complain that because there are fewer surprises revealed, leaks detract from the excitement of product launch events. Instead of letting someone with a Weibo or “X” account be the first to unveil their newest gadgets, major manufacturers would rather maintain control over the public introduction of new products and stick to marketing strategies they created.
