The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the flagship phone for the next generation of Android devices, is just over a month away from launch. Thanks to leaks, we already have a good idea of what to expect.
Recently, display analyst Ross Young shared a tweet revealing what seems to be the full range of color options for the Ultra model. As the premium flagship phone, all variants are expected to feature a titanium shell for added durability and style.
Here’s the rumored lineup of colorways:
- Titanium Black
- Titanium SilverBlue
- Titanium Gray
- Titanium WhiteSilver
- Titanium JetBlack
- Titanium JadeGreen
- Titanium PinkGold
Typically, Samsung launches four primary color options globally, alongside several online-exclusive hues that are only available through Samsung’s online store.
Based on the order of Young’s list, it seems that Black, SilverBlue, Gray, and WhiteSilver will be the primary colors available widely. Meanwhile, JetBlack, JadeGreen, and PinkGold are likely to be online-exclusive options.
For comparison, the main color options for the Galaxy S24 Ultra were Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow. Unfortunately for fans of Violet and Yellow, it seems WhiteSilver and SilverBlue will take their place in the Galaxy S25 Ultra lineup.
This year’s online-exclusive colors for the Galaxy S24 Ultra—Titanium Green, Titanium Blue, and Titanium Orange—appear to be replaced by JetBlack, JadeGreen, and PinkGold for the S25 Ultra. It’ll be interesting to see how JadeGreen compares to last year’s green option.
It’s a bit disappointing to see Samsung moving away from bolder colors in favor of a potentially more muted palette. This shift aligns with the subdued tones Apple chose for the iPhone 16 Pro models this year.
When asked how JetBlack will differ from the standard Black, Young admitted he wasn’t sure.
He also didn’t share any details about the base Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus models this time. However, an earlier leak from Young hinted at a predominantly blue-themed lineup for those devices.
The S25 and S25 Plus are expected to come in Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green, with the Plus model also offering a Midnight Black variant. It’s likely these models will also feature an online-exclusive color.
