We are approaching the next Unpacked event, and as usual, all the smartphone surprises that Samsung harbored have been spoiled by leaks. Granted, it\u2019s a bit shaky to put all your faith in leaks. But what about some unceremonious web upload from one of the world\u2019s top accessories brands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that just transpired on Dbrand\u2019s<\/a> website. The notoriously outspoken company haslisteddozens ofrendersdepicting the Galaxy S25 series smartphones, draped in avarietyof skins available for enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course,the design is familiar. A little too familiar, I\u2019d say. The vanilla Galaxy S25 and its Plus trim look identical to each other. And also to their respective Galaxy S24 series counterparts. And their Galaxy S23 series iterations. Plus, a whole bunch of Galaxy A and M series phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them is the Plus. (Hint: It\u2019s the bigger one. Thanks, Samsung!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theonly refinement is reserved for the Ultra version, which loses its signature sharp corners and goes with a slightly rounded approach. It\u2019s not quite the dramatic corner radius that Apple has maintained across iPhones, iPads, and Macs over the years, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra still stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What doesn\u2019t stand out is the camera lens design, the display aesthetics, and the port-button profile. The saving grace could be a splash of new colors on the rear glass.What about the magnetically-driven Qi 2 wireless charging perk?Well, leaks are split on that convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the new color options should be a dusty blue tone, as per leakerIceUniverse<\/a>. If that turns out to be true, this is what it would look like on the Galaxy S25 series phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am ready for the hurt, Samsung<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lot can be written about Samsung\u2019s conservative design. I am being pretty lenient here, but there are a few strong opinions in the Samsung fandom. And by fandom, I mean Reddit subs discussing Samsung Galaxy phones and Samsung\u2019s official community forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt least Samsung is not copying you know who, like everybody else.\u201d That\u2019s an argument rooted in factual accuracy, at least. \u201cWhy should they? Not everyone can afford or wants to pay for a flagship,\u201d says one comment in a heated Redditdebateabout Samsung\u2019s design approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not everyone can buy into it. A healthy few also want a design that stands out and doesn\u2019t make their thousand-dollar phone look like a $250 midranger with a near-identical design formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak for others, but I want a unique and good-looking phone, not just a powerful glass rectangle (especially for flagship prices),\u201d claims one such Reddit argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am siding with the second argument. I would rather have a flagship phone look the part than just go with slightly premium material. A case can be made about, well, cases, which are eventually going to hide all the snazz and jazz of your shiny new phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that argument beats the whole purpose of spending top dollars on a high-end Galaxy S series phone. If performance is all you seek, you can get the same \u2014 and more \u2014 from a device like theRed Magic 10 Pro, which also blesses buyers with a ginormous battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if cameras are the only consideration, maybe a Google Pixel Pro series phone or the iPhone would also suffice. You are buying a premium Samsung phone, knowing all its strengths and willing to live with its weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This phone costs half as much as a Galaxy Ultra series device. But it\u2019s faster. And it looks terrific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The least it can do is give you the satisfaction of unique, top-tier engineering every time you pick it up. I am hoping that Samsung comes up with some interesting shades and doesn\u2019t keep most of the good ones limited to its online store the way it has done for the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing for a change won\u2019t change anything, of course, as the phones have been in production for a while now. But if the leaked Dbrand assets are anything to go by, I would pay for a two-tone Galaxy S25 series phone rather than a repetitive glass-and-metal chassis with a matching frame with a luster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve done it before, Samsung. Do it again, maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
