Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Colors

The Galaxy S25 Series is gearing up for the launch and Samsung may bring some colors to help you pick a colorful Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, or S25 Ultra unit.

Each year, Samsung upgrades its flagship smartphone design philosophy. Though the outlook remains identical but it’s the color that we’re talking about.

The Korean tech company used to have two flagships before it removed Note devices. It was replaced by Foldables (Galaxy Z Fold and Flip). Now, it offers the regular S series and Note series in one lineup.

The two standard phones share the S series’ handy performance and slim architecture. On the other hand, the Ultra is the new Note with a large screen and an S Pen. With this merger, the South Korean phone maker adopted a hybrid design.

Earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series made this difference distinctive between the standard, Plus, and Ultra variant. This is not only about performance but also color and materials.

Here’s the composition for the existing three S-series models:

S24 and S24 Plus

  • Frame – Armor Aluminum Frame
  • Front – Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2
  • Back Panel – Corning Gorilla Glass Victurs 2

S24 Ultra

  • Frame – Titanium Frame
  • Front – Corning Gorilla Armor
  • Back Panel – Corning Gorilla Glass Victurs 2

With this lineup, Samsung introduced Titanium for the Ultra model while keeping the standard and Plus on titanium. The material shift also varied colors in these models.

Here are color options for three models:

S24

  • Amber Yellow
  • Cobalt Violet
  • Onyx Black
  • Marble Gray
  • Sapphire Blue
  • Jade Green
  • Sandstone Orange

S24 Plus

  • Cobalt Violet
  • Onyx Black
  • Sapphire Blue
  • Jade Green
  • Sandstone Orange

S24 Ultra

  • Titanium Gray
  • Titanium Black
  • Titanium Violet
  • Titanium Yellow
  • Titanium Blue
  • Titanium Green
  • Titanium Orange

Based on a few new changes in the front and the frame, these colors have also brought a fresh look to devices. However, new colors heading our way with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

New Colors

Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young has shared some colors for this year’s Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup.

S25

  • Moon Night Blue
  • Silver Shadow
  • Sparkling Blue
  • Sparkling Green

S25 Plus

  • Midnight Black
  • Moon Night Blue
  • Silver Shadow
  • Sparkling Blue
  • Sparkling Green

25 Ultra

  • Titanium Black
  • Titanium Blue
  • Titanium Gray
  • Titanium Silver

These may appear less than the S24 series but we could see additional colors within online exclusive models.

Ross also confirmed that these colors are only related to the launch devices. Last year’s titanium color had a soft tone but these colors might bring a dark shade. Ross Young is profound in his field and his information has been accurate in the past.

Galaxy S25 Release Date

Based on the previous release schedule, Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung will launch Galaxy S25 Ultra early next year and it will have new features but there are 5 specific reasons that you should be excited about this upcoming flagship.

Besides S25 Ultra, the company has two other phones planned under the S25 belt including a standard and a Plus variant but we’ll stick to Ultra for this article.

Ultra variant defines Samsung’s top-of-the-line hardware and software capabilities. This phone has all that a flagship user can think about. With the next version, the company will further the ultra’s specifications with five new additions. These are:

  • Display and Design
  • Performance
  • Camera
  • Battery
  • Software

Display

Screen is the key attraction for Samsung’s Ultra devices and S24 U led this segment with slimmer bezels. It is equipped with a 6.8-inch rounded corners display with Quad HD+ resolution and 120 Hz max refresh rate.

Based on recent reports, the S25 Ultra will refine the display and round the corners alongside the middle frame. Unlike its predecessor, this new device will have a flat frame to highlight the slim display sides. It’ll be the first time, Samsung will opt for a flat frame compared to a curved end.

The S25 Ultra could increase the screen to 6.86 inches with a new LED composition, improving the visual quality and viewing angles.

With a new frame and display optimizations, Samsung is aiming for a slightly thin and light body for a better in-hand experience.

Performance

Galaxy S25 Ultra will use Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile processor. This chipset brings 45% performance improvement, 44% power efficiency boost, and a larger shared data cache.

Its new Adreno GPU has a better architecture with 40% performance improvement and 40% gaming frame efficiency.

Snapdragon 8 Elite’s 45% Hexagon NPU can boost 45% performance in AI task handling and similar enhancement in performance per watt. The new chip can support longer token inputs.

Camera

S25 Ultra will use a 200MP main camera, 10MP secondary telephoto with 3X zoom, and 50MP primary periscope zoom with 5X zoom. These camera specs are identical to the previous Ultra model but a new change will come with a 50MP Ultra wide angle.

This new lens will contribute to improved photography and videography in parity with the main camera.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite has AI for ISP fused with Hexagon NPU to provide smart camera features and improved 4K photo and videography. It also supports image editing features such as video objective remover.

Battery

The next-gen S series is likely to retain a 5000mAh battery from its predecessor with 45W fast charging. However, new software and chipsets could improve the power efficiency and extend its battery life.

Software

One UI 7 will debut with Galaxy S25 devices with new graphical changes. For example, the new One UI has refreshed Quick Settings looks and interactiveness.

Aside from UI, the company has made minor tweaks to simplify the interface. It has worked through essential parts of the system such as settings and in-device searches with AI.

The AI software capabilities could also extend to system apps and we primarily see its effect on Camera features for quality enhancements. You can expect Satellite connectivity to be a part of this new operating system.

One UI 7 will extend the focus on device security and data privacy with new tools such as anti-theft and app permission management from Android 15.

Others

The excitement doesn’t stop here, the South Korean phone maker has plans to improve the S-Pen’s pressure sensitivity. On the other hand, you will see new color options with improved titanium material.
