Samsung is expected to host its annual Galaxy Unpacked launch event next month. According to some leaked documents, there are rumors that the event will be held on January 22. However, the company has not yet confirmed the official launch date. At the event, the company is expected to launch four new smartphones: Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the new and much-awaited Galaxy S25 Slim. The latter may be revealed at the event, but is expected to be made available later in 2025. Along with the smartphone, Samsung is also expected to release the next-generation Galaxy Ring at the event.
Before things become official, several leaks about the phone have surfaced. The latest reveals a new colorway for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Shared by popular Samsung leaker @iceuniverse on X (formerly Twitter), the phone will come in a new blue variant this time. But honestly, when we saw the post it took us a minute to understand things. The leaker has posted a picture of a gray colored sample, but the post says “S25 Ultra.” Blue.” If it weren’t for the text in the post, we would never have guessed it was blue.
Anyway, leaving aside the specifics of the post, the leaker suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will come in a blue, almost-gray color.
In the past, the smartphone has also been leaked in space grey-ish color, dark blue, light blue, and grey.
At this point, it’s hard to distinguish one from the other, but gray and blue appear to be the common colors for the phone. It is unclear whether these colors will also be available on other Galaxy S24 models.
Other leaks have also emerged regarding the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Recently, a report revealed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature 16GB of RAM, exclusive to its 512GB and 1TB storage variants. The base model with 256GB storage will come with 12GB RAM. This configuration is a notable difference in the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launch date, pre-order, sale details
Pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 in South Korea are expected to take place from January 24 to February 3, 2025, with deliveries and in-store sales starting on February 7. In international markets, including the US, pre-orders are likely to follow a similar timeline, starting around January 22 or 23 and ending in early February. This schedule reflects Samsung’s approach with the Galaxy S24, which was unveiled on January 17, 2024, with pre-orders starting immediately and the phone being available by January 31.
