Galaxy S25 won't be available before Tet in Vietnam

According to some retail systems, Samsung wants to bring its most high-end phone model of the year to Vietnam before Tet, but "the preparation time is too short, there are many risks in the import process as well as communication". The company is forced to choose a safe option even though before Tet is the best sales period for mobile phone brands.

According toFNNews,Samsung will announce the Galaxy S25 globally on January 22, with pre-orders two days later and official sales starting February 4 in select markets like the US and South Korea.

The Vietnamese market is likely to launch at the same time. The systems said they will open the pre-order program, but the delivery of the device after Tet is expected to be 4-7 days later than the international market. Thus, the device will reach users later than the Galaxy S24, which was launched on January 17, 2024 and delivered on January 30, 2024.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi and Oppo have both launched their important phone models in time for the year-end shopping season, the Redmi Note 14 series and Reno 13 series respectively.

The new thing could be the appearance of the Galaxy S25 Slim. The product is expected to be thinner than the 7.6 mm of the Galaxy S24, but the configuration is unknown. Korean media said the device will be launched with the Galaxy S25, but the pageET Newssaid the product could launch in the second quarter of 2025.

Meanwhile, the most powerful model Galaxy S25 Ultra has 16 GB of RAM, instead of 12 GB as at present. This parameter is considered important, when combined with the new Snapdragon chip, it will help run local AI tasks faster and smoother.
