With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, leaks have started appearing left, right and centre. The latest buzz gives us a closer look at potential color options for both the standard Galaxy S25 and the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.
A new report suggests that the Galaxy S25 series will be available in seven colors, including some eye-catching blue hues. Images shared by Gizmochina show the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra sporting Spigen’s Crystal Flex Case. The renders highlight blue variants of the phone, each with a slightly different tone. Additionally, the leak has revealed that the standard Galaxy S25 may come in a shade called Icy Blue, which sports a deeper shade of blue. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, may have a more subtle Titanium Blue finish, which is sleek and understated.
These colors match the earlier description shared by leaked tipster Ishan Agarwal. He mentioned that the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus may launch in colors like Silver Shadow, Mint, Icy Blue and Navy. Meanwhile, the Ultra model may feature a more premium palette, including Titanium Black, Titanium Grey, Titanium White Silver, and Titanium Silver Blue. While Samsung’s website will likely offer additional colors, it’s worth noting that availability may vary depending on your region.
Apart from the colors, the leak reveals little else about the design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone is expected to have rounded corners and incredibly thin bezels, giving it a sleek look. However, it’s important to remember that these are just renders, so the final product may look slightly different.
One of the more interesting parts of this leak involves the inclusion of a MagSafe-style ring on the back of the Galaxy S25 series. The addition, visible through transparent Spigen cases, looks similar to what we’ve seen on iPhones since the iPhone 12 series. Interestingly, it is rumored that the Galaxy S25 series may not support Qi2 wireless charging straight out of the box. Instead, users may need to rely on accessories like the Spigen Case to enable this functionality. Again, this mirrors the trends we’ve seen from other Android manufacturers, who are taking a similar approach.
Although it’s always wise to take leaks in a pinch, these details give us a good idea of what to expect when the phones officially launch. The Galaxy S25 series is rumored to launch on January 22. All phones are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
