An overview.

Preorders for the Galaxy S25 are being shipped by Samsung earlier than expected.

According to customers, their phones should arrive by the end of January.

For the Galaxy S25, Samsung is still taking preorders and is providing benefits and trade-in offers.

During its first Unpacked event of the year on January 23, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 lineup. Following the event, pre-orders for the phone were taken, and retail availability was set to begin on February 7. Samsung appears to be ahead of schedule, as it has shipped out the Galaxy S25s to numerous customers for delivery by the end of this week, despite its promise that pre-order units would arrive in the first week of February.

A lot of people who pre-ordered the Galaxy S25 say they got a notification that UPS or another courier partner would be picking up their order (via Reddit, 2). The delivery date for the majority is anticipated to be around January 30th, which is a few days earlier than Samsung had promised. Therefore, you may want to check the status of your shipment if you were able to place your S25 order ahead of schedule.

Customers in the UK and the Middle East who own Galaxy S25s report that their shipment status has changed to being shipped for a late January delivery, in addition to the US. This is not an unusual practice for Samsung, as the company is renowned for shipping its flagship devices to pre-order customers ahead of schedule.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 is still up for preorder. Even though you might not receive your phone right away, placing your order in advance will get you the best trade-in offers and other benefits.

While it excels in many areas, the Galaxy S25 falters in others.

Even with minor improvements, preliminary data shows that there is a high demand for Samsung’s most recent flagships. Compared to the base and Plus models, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to account for between 60 and 70 percent of all pre-orders in Korea.

Although the S Pen has lost some useful features because it does not have Bluetooth, customers still appear to be interested in the Ultra model. An online petition has already been started by ardent Galaxy fans pleading with the company to reinstate the Bluetooth S Pen on its flagship phone for 2026.
