We may now know all the color options of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, as well as how the smaller models will look in Sparkling Green and Sparkling Blue hues.
Two fresh X posts (also known as tweets) are worth noting if Ross Young’s article from a few weeks ago about the projected color options of the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra was not as thorough as you would have expected.
Aiming to give you the full chromatic image you unquestionably wanted along with inside information on a few more “lower volume” colorways for all three of Samsung’s next ultra-high-end mobile family members, one of them features the same very trustworthy author. The other leak is purely visual, concentrating on the non-Ultra S25 and S25+ and leaving little room for speculation over the “higher volume” paint treatments on two of the phones.
Those shades of Sparkling Green and Sparkling Blue aren’t really that sparkling.
I anticipate that many ardent Samsung supporters and potential purchasers of the “Sparkling Blue” and “Sparkling Green” Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus will be extremely dissatisfied if the two product renders posted on social media by “Android techie” and sporadic mobile tech leaker Tarun Vats turn out to match the actual appearance of these devices. At the very least, it was disappointing.
This is due to the fact that the blue and green hues portrayed here don’t glitter in any noticeable way and don’t particularly stand out either. They appear utterly uninteresting (at least initially) and strangely resemble the “Jade Green” and “Sapphire Blue” iterations of this year’s Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus.

I had hoped that Samsung would at least make more obvious changes to the color selections of its early 2025 flagships, given the S25 and S25+ are generally expected to maintain the general design language of their respective predecessors.
Naturally, it’s still much too early to make any firm predictions about even the Galaxy S25 series’ main features, much less more specific ones like how “sparkly” a certain paint job would look to a real-world user. Furthermore, I have a hunch that these renditions were intended to be a harmless and straightforward exercise of imagination rather than to be accepted as gospel. And…
Other colors might be prettier anyway
With two or three months until the Galaxy S25 family is expected to be introduced, the new shades Ross Young has suggested for X are probably as close to a guarantee as we can get. I know I just stated that it’s too early to be certain of anything.
- The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes in Titanium Blue/Black, Titanium Jade Green, and Titanium Pink Gold; the S25 and S25 Plus come in Coral Red, Pink Gold, and Blue/Black.
To reiterate, these are probably the “lower volume” color possibilities of Samsung’s next significant rivals for the title of greatest Android phone in the world. You can probably only purchase these phones directly from the manufacturer’s website in a few locations, most likely in the US.
It’s interesting to note that the previously mentioned Jade Green and Sapphire Blue hues were included in the online-only colorways that were released for the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra this year. On the plus side, Samsung may introduce even more ostentatious red, pink gold, and blue/black versions in the mix, but regrettably, it doesn’t appear like the striking Sandstone Orange flavor of the non-Ultra S24s will receive a Galaxy S25 series sequel next year.
In contrast, it seems clear that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will retain the online-only Titanium Green color of its predecessor while switching out the two low-volume Titanium Blue and Orange paint jobs with Titanium Blue/Black and Titanium Pink Gold variants. Is that a decline or an improvement? That is undoubtedly too soon to say, and a lot will rely on how gaudy the new colors are, as well as the personal preferences and tastes of each and every Galaxy S25 Ultra consumer.
