With the hot sales of Samsung's Galaxy S24 series mobile phones some time ago, news about Samsung's iteration of new phones has also been exposed. Rumor has it that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will continue to feature the same 5000mAh battery as its predecessor, however, Samsung plans to boost battery life by 10% with a new feature called "Battery AI."
Speculating from the name of the new feature, "Battery AI" may be a smart feature in the next-generation Galaxy AI that can increase the overall runtime without affecting the phone's performance. While it's unclear how "battery AI" works, some industry insiders speculate that the feature may extend battery life by intelligently turning off background tasks that consume system resources.
Blogger @i Ice Universe revealed that Samsung plans to apply the Google Gemini Nano Version 2 to the Galaxy S25 series. According to the blogger, Samsung will bring more AI feature support in the Galaxy S25 series.
For reference, Samsung has brought numerous Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S24 series of flagship phones. AI editing: Users can refine the photos they have taken, and generative editing can automatically fill in the background even if they can't capture the shot they want. Circle and search: When browsing the web, users can use the S Pen stylus or finger to circle an item to get search results. Real-time translation: Users can get real-time translations while on a call and display the content of the call via text.
Previously, industry insiders said that Samsung was testing the Galaxy S25 Ultra prototype internally and showed 4 prototype designs. Judging from the pictures, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will continue the design style of some existing models, all of which use a centered punch scheme, with the main differences being the bezels and sides. The bezels and sides of the first design are close to those of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the bezels have been narrowed to a certain extent. The second design has straight sides and narrowed bezels. The third design has narrowed the bezels on both sides, but the bezels at the top and chin have been slightly thickened; The fourth design has a narrower bezel and rounded sides.
Combined with previous related leaks, the screen size of the Samsung Galaxy S25 standard model may increase from the existing 6.2 inches to 6.36 inches. For reference, the Galaxy S24 currently on sale has a screen size of 6.2 inches, the Galaxy S24+ has a screen size of 6.7 inches, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a screen size of 6.8 inches. If this leak is true, then the gap in screen size between the three models will be further narrowed.
It is reported that Samsung has been using a 5000mAh capacity battery since the release of the Galaxy S21 Ultra phone in 2021. Previously, it was reported that Samsung is working on laminated batteries, and the latest news says that the battery update may be delayed to the Galaxy S26 series due to cost considerations.
Another reason is that Qualcomm has increased the price of the Snapdragon flagship processor, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chip estimated at $200, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship chip on the Galaxy S25 Ultra will cost even more. In this regard, Samsung may have to reconsider the cost and release time of developing laminated batteries.
