Samsung Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra renders arrive, Week 51 in review

2024-12-22

Another week down as we close out 2024. It was a Samsung-dominated affair - not surprising, considering we're nearing the launch of the Galaxy S25 series.

The biggest story by far was the leaked renders of the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The credibility of the renders was bolstered by a reported copyright claim by Samsung. The renders show a new Ultra with slightly more rounded corners and a mostly unchanged S25+. We also saw live photos of the S25+ that hint that Samsung will put a Camera Control button on the sides of its new S25 series to rival the iPhone.

We also got the likely colorways of the entire S25 lineup. Expect the S25 and S25+ to come in Blue Black, Coral Red, Icy Blue, Mint, Navy, Pink Gold, and Silver Shadow, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra to come in Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Jade Green, Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Pink Gold, Titanium Silver Blue, and Titanium White Silver.

Samsung detailed the new Now Bar in One UI 7 - its take on the iPhone's Dynamic Island.

Finally, expect the Galaxy S25 series to arrive on January 22.
