It\u2019s official now \u2013 the Galaxy S24 trio is here. Even before that, we knew what colors Samsung had prepared for us from leaks, and there were no big surprises. We have light shades of yellow, violet, blue, green, and gray, for all the models. Don\u2019t get me wrong, these colors are beautiful and very well executed, but for some people, there\u2019s an option missing. And as you can see from the title, what I mean is a bold and daring color option. Let\u2019s talk about it.<\/p>\n
Samsung plays it safe with colors: and that\u2019s been the case for awhile
\nYes, the Galaxy S24 colors this year are, in theory, not the same as those of the S23 last year. The hues are indeed, different, but they basically stay within the same lane, don\u2019t they? We still have a subdued violet\/purple, we still have a subdued yellow\/white (the Cream for the S23), and the usual suspects of black and gray, etc. We don\u2019t have to look at the entirety of the Galaxy S24 colors to know that the similarities don\u2019t end there. As exclusive colors, we\u2019re getting light blue, light green, and light orange this year. The S24 Ultra this year sports different colors to underline the new Titanium design. But yet, the shades are similar: violet, yellow, black, and gray. For the Ultra, we get Titanium Orange which gets a bit closer to being a daring color, but still, it\u2019s very under-saturated as well. As for a daring color from Samsung, the one recent example we have (somewhat) is the exclusive Red for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It\u2019s not available this year.
\nWhen talking about colors, we can\u2019t escape the fact that those are not randomly picked. Let\u2019s briefly discuss\u2026 a principle in fashion, shall we?<\/p>\n
Trends and brands: one does it first, the others copy; or why isn\u2019t Samsung stepping up?
\nOne might argue that Samsung is sticking with the trends when it comes to the Galaxy S24 colors. It\u2019s a thing that those colors look premium, they do look stylish and all. But if you know a thing or two about fashion, you\u2019d know that big brands usually set the tone of what\u2019s trendy and what\u2019s not. Yep, I\u2019m referencing fashion here, and despite Samsung not being Gucci, it\u2019s the same principle. The company is one of the biggest on the tech market, it has a stellar reputation for design and it\u2019s in the best position to offer something new in terms of colors. If a lesser-known Chinese company does it, we may not pay as much attention, but if Samsung does it\u2026 then the rest is history, isn\u2019t it? So as far as trends go, Samsung seems to be following them rather than setting the tone. All around us flagship phones come with subdued colors (including Samsung\u2019s biggest competitor \u2013 Apple, and even the Pixels have become rather simplistic in terms of color), and we\u2019re not seeing anything exceptional or out of the box. Samsung is in a great position to set a new tone. For example, imagine a red Galaxy S24 Ultra with that imposing Titanium design. A bright, in-your-face red one. Or maybe why not a very bright yellow that screams \u201clook at me!\u201d. Then what about a new approach \u2013 two colors that look good together (something like Bespoke Edition, but as a main color option)? Why not take things up a notch and come up with a real galaxy-inspired color option? Or what about the futuristic look \u2013 Samsung\u2019s event was all about \u201cWelcome to the future\u201d, but then you have the same light blue as a color like for previous Galaxy iterations! We have the Nothing Phone attempting something in the lines of a futuristic look with its glyphs, but what if Samsung can figure something even better out? Of course, maybe me recommending these options may sound cheesy, but think about it. Samsung\u2019s design, overall, is impressive. The way these phones look, quite frankly, no matter what color you put on them, they\u2019ll still look premium, don\u2019t you think? I\u2019m not saying Samsung should go for a cheap-looking sparkly phone or copy Nothing. But it should at least think about setting a new trend in color. Here\u2019s to hoping the company will look into that for the future, and sprinkle some innovation in this department as well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
