The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been the focus of a lot of coverage for months now as we eagerly await its launch. In that time, we’ve covered a lot of different leaks, but this latest news shows the risk of using uncertain information: it isn’t guaranteed. Trusted leaker Evan Blass recently said the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus phones will be available in Blue, Mint, Navy, and Silver Shadow, per a story from Android Headlines.
That’s different from the original tip, when Ross Young said the colors would be Red, Gold, and Black. The new colors are also different from the colors Young suggested in late October. Although I’m hesitant to say which is more likely, we’ve seen Blue and Silver Shadow mentioned in multiple leaks from different people. That corroboration lends some confidence to those two options.
Both Blass’ leak and Young’s echoed the same colors for the S25 Ultra, though: Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Grey, and Titanium Silver. Both tipsters have trustworthy track records, so this contradiction makes it difficult to trust either person. The S25 could have code names for its colors, or it might just be available in a lot more options than initially expected. Or both tipsters could be incorrect. At this point, we can’t say for sure until the launch event.
This isn’t the first bit of contradictory information around the Galaxy S25 that we’ve had to deal with. Yesterday, we wrote that its colors were probably set in stone, but the release date had changed.
Ideas of the S25’s processor have also been flexible, with some regions expected to receive phones with Exynos chips while others expect the Snapdragon Elite 8.
You can expect an official announcement with concrete information in January at the S25 launch event.

The OnePlus 13 may have already killed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Did OnePlus, in October 2024, just announce one of the best smartphones of 2025? It very well may have, because OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 13.
Well, sort of. The OnePlus 13 is now available in China, though it'll be a while before it comes to the U.S. and other parts of the world. Although it'll likely be December or January before you and I get our hands on the OnePlus 13, the wait should be worth it. The OnePlus 13 already looks like one of next year's best phones — and it may have simultaneously caused the premature death of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The OnePlus 13 looks fantastic

The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup just got a lot more interesting
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is just a few months away from launch, and we've been closely following its development and relaying any news we can get our hands on about what Samsung's next flagship has in store. Well, now we have another exciting detail: there might actually be four phones in the S25 lineup, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim.
The story broke on the South Korean news site ETNews but was shared with us by tipster Jukanlosreve on X (formerly Twitter). The S25 Slim, if it exists, isn't likely to be released at the same time as the rest of the S25 lineup. Instead, it's far more likely that Samsung will launch it a few months after the S25, maybe around April.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is suffering
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra again for the last few weeks, and while I do think it continues to be one of the most versatile smartphones around, I quickly got tired of the shape and design.
I wasn’t the only one who had complaints about this aspect either, and it showed me thatSamsung really needs to think seriously about giving the Galaxy S25 Ultra a big boost to increase its appeal next year, particularly because the competition has really improved.
The S24 Ultra is still extremely versatile
