We’re days away from the launch of theSamsung Galaxy S21phones on January 14, coincidentally the last day of CES 2021, but we’re still learning more about the handsets. Case in point: a new set of leaked photos reveals every color and hue the phones may come in.
We’ve certainly seen a lot ofSamsung Galaxy S21 colors, but this is the most complete assortment yet. In addition to the previously rumored colors for the S21 (Phantom Violet, Phantom Pink, Phantom Grey & Phantom White), the new leaks by Roland Quandt show the same selection of colors for the S21 Plus – as well as another solid red hue – in a four-image set of renders across two tweets.

Thetweetabove also reveals five possible colors for theSamsungGalaxy S21 Ultra – more than the Phantom Silver we’d heard before. Note the cross-hatching on the camera block corner of three of those hues, a detail we hadn’t seen before. Perhaps more important: Quandt labeled these as ‘Custom Colors,’ implying that these may not come to all regions.
