Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Better battery, same size?

Key Points:

• Samsung’s next flagship, the S25 Ultra, might have longer battery life without a bigger battery.
• The magic lies in the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip’s powerful but energy-saving graphics.
• However, the chip’s overall speed boost isn’t as impressive.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to be a battery champ without packing extra juice. The secret? A smarter brain, not a bigger tank.

The phone’s expected powerhouse, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, is said to have a graphics chip (GPU) that’s incredibly fast but also very energy-efficient. This means the phone could run demanding tasks like games and videos without draining the battery too quickly.

While this is good news for battery life, there’s a catch. The chip’s overall speedup compared to its predecessor isn’t mind-blowing. Some reports even suggest the phone might need a larger battery to handle the chip’s full potential.

So, while the S25 Ultra might last longer on a single charge thanks to its graphics, don’t expect it to be a blazingly fast-speed demon.
