With less than a week to go until the official debut of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is making sure all eyes are on the new phones. The hype is real for the devices running One UI 7.0. Just yesterday, marketing posters for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra surfaced. One of the posters even gave us a sneak peek at the upcoming Now Brief in One UI 7.0. It’s clear Samsung’s all in on building excitement for the new flagships.
Samsung teases the Now Bar ahead of Galaxy S25 series launch at Unpacked
In a teaser image (h/t @TheGalox_), Samsung is hyping up the Now Bar with a “Coming Soon” tag. It’s followed by the date January 22, 2025. That’s the day Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 series at their Galaxy Unpacked event. Rumor has it, we’ll see the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra at the event. Samsung could tease the Galaxy S25 Slim during the same event. However, the Slim version might drop later. Meanwhile, CAD renders of the S25 Slim are finally out, giving us our first look at the phone.
One UI 7.0’s upcoming Now Bar shows up on your lock screen as a quick hub for your most-used apps and activities, so you don’t need to unlock your phone. It lets you control music, manage timers, and even use translation tools, all from a little pill-shaped bar at the bottom. It’s designed for easy one-handed use, keeping everything within reach. Think of it as Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Dynamic Island, offering personalized features that work with your routine. It even gives you real-time updates from apps like Bixby, Samsung Health, and Voice Recorder, making your phone feel more intuitive.
That said, if you’re thinking of grabbing a Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra, you might want to check out the pre-reservation perks before the window closes.
