S25 Model Color Preorder

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 still on the fence if I should get the S25...

As my 5th phone. Deciding also which phone to trade in. Google Pixel 8 or broken iPhone XR.

Unless Green or Yellow isn't available it'll always be my choice. This year it's Mint.

I ordered my s25+ from AT&T in the silver. I saw it in person, and it was my preferred color. My phone is 100% going directly into a case as soon as I get it, even though I find the silver color very pretty. Good luck with your color choice.

I'll let others chip in on the best screen protectors. For sure, I'm going to have a plastic film one and not a glass one because I always use wallet phone cases, and the cover provides additional protection.

well i do recall when had s7 and try to put that

Spigen Curved Crystal Galaxy S7 Screen Protector with Ultra Clear Film 3 Pack for Samsung Galaxy S7​


my dad did didn't really like it that much had issues i think in the end just removed that screen protector<-funny thing i still got sorry phone but it boot up property not sure why have it ha

and ya know s20 plus phone already had a built in screen protector so i didn't have to get one it does have some crude and spots on it btw

my s20 plus

Spigen Tough Armor [Extreme Protection Tech]< i guess due to many times drop case ain't that great lines and stuff​


so i'm not sure how stable

Spigen Rugged Armor MagFit Designed for Galaxy S25 Case Fast Wireless Charging/Magnet for Galaxy is s25 or not​


i know i need screen protector surely the glass one is better
 

I'm giving Benks a shot this year for screen protector being it's AR coated. That and I really like the case I got from then too.
 
I normally prefer white or blue phones.
They didn't have white for my GS24U, so I got the gray one; I really didn't like that much the baby blue.

This time, I was going to wait for the GS26 Ultra, but yesterday I went and got/ordered the GS25 Ultra in blue, I was really upset Samsung made a really nice TARDIS blue for the GS25 and GS25 plus, but a weak looking blue for the Ultra!

Was going to get the Titanium Silverwhite, but I really wanted a blue phone this time, and the Titanium Silverblue looked a bit better than last year's baby blue, so...

Well, the phone is here, arrived about 4 hours ago, I should have gone with the whitesilver; the silverblue doesn't look blue at all!

Actually, just a bit, depending on the angle the light hits it... ugh!

I got my jadegreen, and I thought it was silver at first. I can barely tell it's green, and it certainly doesn't look much like the photo on the web.
 
That is why I went with Jet Black. At least it looks black.
Man; all I had for years were black phones, nothing against them, but I had enough, white or blue works for me, even gray or silver!

That's why my GS24 Ultra is gray and will be keeping this GS25 Ultra in gray...with a very unnoticeable tint of bluish.
