This also means Samsung has to look for other ways to extend battery life.
There were previously rumors that the Galaxy S24 Ultra would introduce layered battery technology. This did not happen for undisclosed reasons.
Insider Sawyer Galox claims that Samsung will abandon this innovation in the Galaxy S25 Ultra to save money. Another insider, PandaFlash, also expressed disappointment with the new flagship’s battery performance and urged buyers to keep expectations low.
If the rumor is true, the only hope of extending the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery life is a new chipset. It is reported that Samsung may launch some Galaxy S25 models with Exynos 2500 instead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
The Galaxy S24 series tried this strategy, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra only came with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
If the Galaxy S25 Ultra only gets the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the decision to keep the same battery technology is justified. Qualcomm chips with custom Orion cores are more expensive; each processor costs about $200. This will deal a serious blow to Samsung’s profits.
