For companies like Samsung, leaks can ruin marketing plans and reduce interest in new products, so controlling launch details is crucial to protecting brand reputation. Samsung plans to tighten its security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Galaxy S25 series is expected to be unveiled on 22 January 2025 at the first Unpacked 2025 event. Whether Samsung will be able to completely stop leaks about its products and developments remains an open question.
