We’ve almost certainly gotten our first look at the official Samsung Galaxy S25 renders, even if they weren’t shared by an official source. Reliable tipster Evan Blass sent these renders out through his mailing list, and appear as official as they get. Not only do the phones look good, but they also show a lot of detail for the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, including some expected colors: light blue, light green, dark blue, and silver.

The renders don’t really provide any new information, but they do corroborate what we’ve seen, and give us a closer look at the phones. All of the Galaxy S25 models have narrow bezels and a punch-hole camera on the front. The phone appears to be flat on both the front and back, as well as the sides.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra takes things a step further with notably rounded corners and slightly different colors, although this wasn’t unexpected. We’ve known the S25 Ultra would have titanium colors for a while now: blue, silver, black, and gray.

You might notice the S25 Slim isn’t included in these renders. That’s a pretty firm confirmation that the rumored phone won’t be announced at Galaxy Unpacked, but possibly later in the year, and perhaps around the same time as the next Galaxy FE would normally be released. The renders come at the perfect time, just as marketing materials for the S25 series give us another look at the device and illustrate some of the new AI features to expect on the Galaxy S25.

You can expect to see the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra at Unpacked on January 22, and while the S25 Slim might get teased at the event, we don’t expect it to hit shelves until May.

With the Samsung Galaxy S25 series now available, the company's attention is turning to its next handset, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The phone is expected to be a game-changer and will likely be marketed against Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air. Now we know better when the Samsung phone could be released.

According to tipster Max Jambor (via Android Headlines), the new phone should be available for purchase during the year's second quarter. Previous rumors suggested the phone would be available sometime around April, so the tip seems to confirm this.

The new Samsung Galaxy S25 series is now available worldwide. This lineup includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, all featuring an array of advanced AI capabilities. Many of these features were highlighted during Samsung’s latest Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company announced the new phones. Many were not, however.

Android Authority discovered that one of those new features is “suggested replies.” The feature, available for the Samsung Keyboard, uses on-device AI models to offer potential responses to messages you receive.

This is why I love Circle to Search on the Galaxy S25 series

Since the Galaxy S24 series was launched last year, phone makers have focused heavily on adding AI to every facet of their smartphones. Apple launched Apple Intelligence last year — which brought a different, more personal, approach to AI with the iPhone 16 — a few months after Google unveiled Gemini for Android.

Despite Google waiting to launch the full suite of Gemini features for a few months, one of the key features had already launched on the Galaxy S24. Circle to Search allows you to search for anything displayed on your screen using AI, and as I discovered when selling my mother’s home last year, it makes it super easy to understand the value of items without needing to search for them by name.
