The Samsung Galaxy S25’s colors leaked again, and this time they’re different

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 we’re 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 about 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.

MagSafe for Samsung? The Galaxy S25 may introduce new magnetic accessories
lg v30 vs. galaxy note 8

Although Samsung has tons of features that give it an edge against the iPhone, its lineup of phones has never sported MagSafe without the use of a third-party case. A new leak suggests that might be about to change thanks to multiple first-party accessories, including a so-called 'Magnet Case.'

According to well-known tipster Max Jambor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be releasing alongside a line of magnetic and non-magnetic accessories, including the Standing Grip Case, Kindsuit Case, Ultra Clear Case, Silicone Case, Rugged Case, and the Magnet Case. He also said Samsung will have a magnetic wallet, although we haven't yet learned what it will be called.

Unhappy with One UI 7 animations? Samsung says they’re going to get better
The vertical app drawer in One UI 7.

Samsung Galaxy S24 users have had access to the One UI 7 beta for about a week now, and already they have noticed a few things that stand out. The One UI subreddit is filled with questions concerning stuttering and other animation problems. Thankfully, Samsung is aware of the problems and has issued a statement that they are working on a fix. The company responded to user concerns and said it promises to "provide a smoother and more dynamic transition in the future."

In situations like this, it's important to remember that this is exactly why beta releases exist. One UI 7 was usable enough but not quite perfect. By releasing it to a limited number of users early, Samsung can identify pain points like this one and work toward resolving them before the update becomes available for everyone.

Qi2 charging may come to the Galaxy S25, but not how we expected

Native support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard is currently limited to only a few handsets on the market, none of which are produced by Samsung. However, this could change in the coming weeks with the anticipated arrival of the Galaxy S25 series — though perhaps not in the expected way.

According to a new report from Finnish-based Suomimobiili, the Galaxy S25 series handsets will support Qi2 wireless charging, but only with a new magnet case that Samsung is reportedly producing. This would mark the first time the company has created a case like this for its flagship phones.
