Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be available in new sparkling colorways. The source who leaked Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra color options has now revealed online-exclusive colors that will be available from Samsung Shop only.

According to RossYoung, Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra will be available in bold new online-exclusive colors. These choices will be additional than the standard hues that will be sold from various platforms and retail shops.

Online-exclusive colors:

• Galaxy S25 – Coral Red, Pink Gold, and Blue/Black
• Galaxy S25 Plus – Coral Red, Pink Gold and Blue/Black
• Galaxy S25 Ultra – Titanium Blue/Black, Titanium Jade Green and Titanium Pink/Silver

Last heard the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus could feature new ‘sparkling’ shades, while the S25 Ultra would continue Titanium hues. Samsung will offer a wide array of color choices for the next-gen flagships so consumers can have extended options.

Standard colors:

• Galaxy S25 – Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green

• Galaxy S25 Ultra – Titanium Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver

Gorilla Armor across the S25 lineup?

Samsung’s decision to bring Gorilla Armor to Galaxy S24 Ultra was the coolest. The next-gen glass technology significantly reduces glare from the screen, making the display showcase vibrant and crispy colors.

I wish Samsung would expand the anti-reflective screen technology to the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. The Ultra variant will indeed feature the anti-reflective glass, but its expansion to other models will be a game-changer move.

Apple’s latest and most expensive iPhone 16 Pro Max lacks an anti-reflective screen. Viewed outside, the S24 Ultra shows minimal glare, meanwhile, the glare makes iPhone 16 Pro Max screen visibility annoying despite higher brightness.

Samsung seems to be ensuring the Galaxy S25 Slim to make the iPhone 17 Air feel outdated. The phone has recently been spotted on the IMEI database. Now, a leaker claims Samsung could equip the Galaxy S25 Slim with an Ultra camera.

With an “Ultra” camera, tipster IceUniverse hints at a 200MP sensor on the Galaxy S25 Slim. Samsung debuted this monstrous sensor with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which also featured in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Samsung could bring the same (or enhanced) 200MP primary camera to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Slim could also use the same sensor to offer an exceptional photography experience to Galaxy consumers.

Other camera specs of the S25 Slim remain to be known. However, it could get a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10-megapixel telephoto with 3x optical zoom. Additionally, the selfie camera could have a resolution of 12-megapixel.

Wait, wait… That’s not it.

Commenting on Ice’s X post, tipster Jukanlosreve pointed out that Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed Galaxy S25 Slim specifications. This claim flips the entire story and brings us to the starting point where all camera specs are yet to be revealed.

Galaxy S25 Slim is confirmed?

The answer is, Yes. Samsung is indeed working on an additional Galaxy S25 variant that could be Slim or Special Edition. Amid claims of replacement with S25 FE, the 200-megapixel camera rumor hints that it could be marketed as a Special Edition.

Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. Compared to the latest Z Fold 6, it brings a sleek yet thinner design, larger cover and inner displays, a 200-megapixel primary camera, and slightly tweaked design language.

The competition for the title of the best smartphone heats up between Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra and Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro Max. Here’s a detailed look at how these two giants measure up, based on leaks, rumors, and the latest in tech trends.

Design:

• Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra:
  • Samsung is rumored to maintain its signature sleek design with a large titanium frame, and glass on both sides. The S Pen remains a unique feature, providing exceptional functionality for note-taking and spontaneous sketching directly on the device.
• Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max:
  • Apple’s latest smartphone follows its tradition with a refined look, featuring a new titanium frame for durability and a slightly larger 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display compared to its predecessor. It has rounded corners for better handling and introduces a Camera Control button for an enhanced photo-taking experience.

• iPhone 16 Pro Max:
  • It is equipped with Apple’s A18 Pro chip, which aims at superior power efficiency and performance. However, early benchmarks suggest it might lag behind the S25 Ultra in multi-core performance. The 16 Pro Max has 8GB of RAM.

• iPhone 16 Pro Max:
  • Known for its battery optimization, it has a 4685mAh battery but tends to offer a competitive battery life due to iOS’s efficiency. It has a slower charging speed as compared to the S25 Ultra.

Software:

• S25 Ultra:
  • Samsung has committed to offering 7 years of One UI software support to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, a significant advantage for longevity and security updates, outmatching Apple’s typical 5-year iOS upgrade promise. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will run Android 15-based One UI 7 custom skin.
• iPhone 16 Pro Max:
  • The device is launched with iOS 18, and it also brought Apple Intelligence (AI) features, though currently, these are still in the pipeline for full rollout.

• iPhone 16 Pro Max:
  • The device has recently received the Apple Intelligence feature. However, it is still in a very early stage. There’s no comparison between the Galaxy AI and Apple’s AI.

Price:

• Galaxy S25 Ultra:
  • You might have to pay a higher price, based on rumors, the $1,399 for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 variant. Remember, the exact pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will only be confirmed once Samsung officially launches the device, expected in early 2025.
• iPhone 16 Pro Max:
