Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Colors

Samsung Galaxy S25 family will be available in stunning colors. We are months away from the tentative debut, but an industry insider leaked all the striking colorways that Samsung’s next-generation flagship phones could feature.

Info shared by RossYoung suggests that the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra will be available in four, five, and four standard color options, respectively. Here’s what could be the marketing names of the S25 series colors:

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Colors

  • Galaxy S25 could be available in Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green.
  • Galaxy S25 Plus color options could include Midnight Black, Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparking Blue, and Sparkling Green.
  • Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to have four Titanium color choices, with marketing names Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver.

Samsung might also launch a new set of exclusive colors that would be available from the official online shop. You can expect some unique color shades with appealing combinations for the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra.

Recently, the same source revealed that the S25 Ultra won’t get an upgraded display. Due to cost reasons, Samsung might not be bringing its most advanced OLED with M14 material set to next year’s Ultra handset.

What next…?

We assume the S25 series will be announced by mid-January next year. If this happens, the company could officially release the devices by the end of January. The launch will solidify Samsung’s dominance in the first quarter.

Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be used in all Galaxy S25 series models. Qualcomm’s new chip is manufactured on a 3nm process and promises significant performance improvements – thanks to a custom Oryon CPU and upgraded NPU for AI.

Galaxy S25 Ultra settles for M13 OLED as Pixel 9 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro move to M14

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might not get upgraded OLED with the M14 material set. For cost reasons, the company has reportedly decided to stick to the same display tech as the S24 Ultra.

According to Ross Young, Samsung may not use M14 OLED in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It would lead the S25 Ultra to lag behind rivals such as Google’s Pixel 9 Pro and Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro series.

Google was the first to adopt Samsung’s most advanced display technology. Apple has also upgraded the panels on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models.

It was assumed that the Korean tech giant would surely bring M14 OLED to its next flagship lineup. Later, rumors appeared to display an upgrade on the Ultra variant, which isn’t materializing either.

It seems Samsung is planning to cancel the rumored display upgrade to freeze the pricing. It could be because of the increased pricing of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

Qualcomm has recently launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite manufactured on a 3nm process. The advanced fabrication node is quite expensive than 4nm, pushing 8 Elite’s price to about $250.

OLED with M14 materials promises increased brightness on panels with enhanced power consumption. Notably, it is the most advanced consumer OLED developed by Samsung Display.

Samsung will likely launch the Galaxy S25 series early next year. The lineup will have three models namely the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Next year’s Ultra model will introduce a new design language with slightly rounded corners and an improved camera ring design featuring circular textures identical to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Hacked: Critical vulnerabilities exposed at Pwn2Own

Samsung Galaxy S24 September 2024 update

Samsung Galaxy S24 has been hacked at Pwn2Own Ireland 2024. Samsung’s newest flagship phones come with top-notch security solutions. However, an elite hacker used different bugs to hack the smartphone.

At Pwn2Own 2024, Ken Gannon of NCC Group used five different bugs, including a path traversal, to get a shell and install an app on the Galaxy S24. Successful execution earned him a whopping $50,000 and 5 Master of Pwn points.

On October 23, Ken Gannon exploited five security vulnerabilities to compromise an S24 device by getting shell access and installing an arbitrary application. We’ve heard security compromises validated on previous older Samsung phones too.

Pwn2Own is a hacker-specific event that happens twice a year. It’s one of the best platforms for ethical hackers to win massive bounties in favor of executing suspected codes or compromising a handset’s security and privacy.

The hacker who compromised Galaxy S24’s security will keep the bug’s details private for a grace period of 90 days. It will only be shared with Samsung and the Pwn2Own organisers the Trend Micro Zero-Day Initiative.

Think if this bug may have been discovered by a spy or hacker. Your phone’s data and privacy may have been compromised even without any sign. Pwn2Own is a cool competition that awards thousands of dollars to hackers and boosts security.

Many Galaxy phones were indeed rendered insecure during Pwn2Own contests. The company has no issues giving away its flagship devices for security checks. Ultimately, it’s in favor of Galaxy users as these flaws will now be resolved in future OTA.

After ditching Samsung, Google plans Apple peer Tensor by TSMC for Pixel 10, 11

Published

Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL

TSMC will produce the next-gen Tensor chipsets for Google Pixel 10 and beyond. Starting with the original Tensor, Samsung Foundry manufactured chipsets for Google until this year’s launch of the Pixel 9 series’ Tensor G4.

Recently, AndroidAuthority revealed a Tensor roadmap covering key info on Pixel 10 and Pixel 11’s chipsets. Google is reportedly planning Apple iPhone equivalent chipset strategy for future Pixel smartphone releases.

Tensor G5 (Pixel 10)

The Tensor G5’s CPU (TSMC’s N3E node) could use the Arm Cortex-X4 the same as the Tensor G4. However, the next Tensor will have a 1+5+2 with five performance/middle Cortex-A725 (from A720) and two Cortex-A520.

Besides 14% better TPU, the processor is said to use a new GPU made by Imagination Technologies. It is reported to be a similar chipset that Apple used in the past. It will bring ray tracing and GPU virtualization for accelerated graphics to the Pixel 10 series.

Tensor G6 (Pixel 11)

Key specs of Google Pixel 11’s potential Tensor G6 chipset have also been revealed. The chip is codenamed “Malibu” and is expected to be fabricated using the TSMC N3P process having a 1+6 core configuration.

Tensor G6 could feature unannounced Arm X5 (Cortex-X930) and Cortex-A730 cores. It’s a move similar to Qualcomm’s approach with Snapdragon 8 Elite. A newer Imagination Technologies GPU  could also be paired with 15% less power consumption.

Samsung Foundry is facing issues with yield rate, leading it to face major drawbacks. The company failed to attract major clients for contract chip production. Google also switched Samsung with TSMC for future Tensor chipsets.
