Samsung Cancels 2025 Developerโ Conference
Samsung has opted to forgo its annual Developer Conference (SDC) in โ2025, marking a departureโ from its typical โschedule and leaving developers anticipating new platform updates โคwithout a dedicated forum. The decision, confirmed โbyโฃ the โabsence of any event listingโฃ on the Samsung developer โwebsite, โฃsignals โa shift in how the tech giant plans to โฃengage with its developer community.
The cancellation impacts developers working acrossโ Samsung’s ecosystem – including those focused on Tizen, One UI,โฃ SmartThings, and galaxy AI – who traditionally rely on SDC forโฃ early access to tools,โ APIs,โค and roadmaps. While theโ company confirmed the 2024 โขconference date in August of the previous year, โฃno similar declaration preceded 2025, fueling speculation โabout its status. The absence of an eventโ suggests โขa recalibration ofโข Samsung’s strategyโข for communicating with and supporting its developer base.
The reason behind the decision โremainsโค unclear.โ Samsungโ may feel that with the release of bothโ One โขUI 7 and One โคUI 8, there isn’t substantial new material to present at a dedicated โคconference. alternatively, the companyโค might potentially be prioritizingโฃ showcasing its consumer โelectronics and appliance software innovations at events like CES, where Samsungโ is โคplanning its largest-ever exhibition space in 2026. Galaxy โAI features are โฃconsistently highlighted at Unpacked events, further diminishing the need forโ a separate โคdeveloper-focused presentation.
Samsung has been contacted for comment and a response is โฃpending.
