A new leak reveals the full color lineup for the entire Galaxy S25 series. The latest information comes from Ross Young, a well-known display analyst, who shared details about all the possible colorways for Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones: the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra.
Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely be available in four colors: Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver. This matches an earlier leak by Ice Universe, suggesting Samsung is sticking to the same color options for the Ultra model. These shades are similar to what we’ve seen before, indicating Samsung’s preference for more muted, elegant tones with the Ultra series.
Samsung has maintained a pattern with its Galaxy phone color options over the past few years. They tend to release familiar colors initially, then add special editions later. For example, the Galaxy S24 Ultra received a Titanium Yellow version several months after its launch. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may follow a similar path, potentially offering new color options like Titanium Pink later in the product cycle.
Finally, S25 colors.
S25:
Moon Night Blue
Silver Shadow
Sparking Blue
Sparkling Green
S25+
Midnight Black
Moon Night Blue
Silver Shadow
Sparking Blue
Sparkling Green
S25U
Titanium Black

Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus
According to Young, the Galaxy S25 will come in Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparking Blue, and Sparkling Green. The S25 Plus model will have these same options, with the addition of Midnight Black, giving it a slight edge in variety. These colors appear brighter and more vibrant compared to the Titanium shades of the Ultra model, possibly aiming to appeal to a broader audience.
Unlike recent launches from other smartphone makers, such as the Pixel 9 series, Samsung doesn’t seem to be including any unique pink or pastel shades for the Galaxy S25 launch. However, Samsung might add new colors after the initial release, just as they did with the Titanium Yellow for the S24 Ultra.
Confirmed with materials suppliers that the S25 Ultra will use M13 rather than M14 materials for cost reasons.

Display details for the Galaxy S25 Ultra
In addition to the color options, Young also shared some information about the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s display. It seems Samsung will continue using the M13 OLED panel from the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is a well-tested option, known for delivering excellent visual quality. While some might have hoped for an upgrade to the newer M14 OLED panel, cost considerations seem to be a factor here.
Young explained that using the M14 panel would likely lead to higher costs for consumers. The M14 OLED panel, which Apple is expected to use in its iPhone 16 Pro, promises better efficiency and longevity, with a 30% improvement in energy efficiency and a 10-20% longer lifespan compared to the M13. However, Samsung appears to be focusing on keeping the price more accessible rather than pushing for the latest display technology.
Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 are leaked
Samsung’s color strategy with the Galaxy S25 lineup seems to be a blend of predictability and careful differentiation. The Galaxy S25 Ultra maintains the sophisticated Titanium finishes, while the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus offer more colorful options that might appeal to different tastes. The decision to keep the M13 OLED panel shows a balance between providing a quality display and managing costs.
As the launch date approaches, it will be interesting to see if Samsung introduces any surprise features or additional color options. For now, the leaked information paints a picture of a lineup that sticks closely to what worked in the past, with a few small changes to keep things fresh.
