S25 Model Color Preorder

[mogelijk]

The exclusive colors for the 512gb (excluding jet black) are now showing a ship date towards the end of February. Wonder if those are being ordered more or there simply we're not available. Of course the shipping dates could move up once the phone is actually released.View attachment 367951

Samsung "guesses" how much of each color they need, granted the "guess" is an informed guess based on past history of the demand for various colors, and then they put in orders for each color that they believe will satisfy the initial demand. So, if there is a color that is unavailable , such as the JetBlack, Samsung likely underestimated the demand but that doesn't tell us how many sold, Samsung may have just not ordered very many of that color thinking demand would be lower.

Another possibility if that there is some type of issue in making the JetBlack, such as issues (to include cost) coating the Titanium with the black finish, and so they chose to make less (because of the added cost to make) or were not able to make enough (issues with the coating bonding with the titanium).

I feel it's the former. Samsung is always under estimating the demand for the Ultra model. Could also be a sales tactic who knows lol

This morning, the jet black is back (after saying out of stock last night) and still saying expected by Feb 7 in my app. I ordered, so we'll see. I can wait for the color I'd prefer if delayed, even though they're all a snooze fest to me this year (hence, I thought all black could be a change at least).

I used to own a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in black, coated Titanium. Over 2 years period it held very well. Traded it in in almost new condition. So, Samsung knows how to apply black coat on the Titanium cases.

I'm pretty excited to see the jade green in person if my device arrives tomorrow as UPS is saying.

I'm excited to see it too. This is my first year of not going to the store to play with or at least see the phone in person. Happy that my first in person experience will be with my own device.
