The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may disappoint those who expected improvements in battery capacity.

According to various sources, the device will feature the same 5,000mAh battery as its predecessor, the S24 Ultra, with no increase in capacity or charging speed, which will remain at 45W.

This is notable as competing companies, such as OPPO, are expected to equip their flagships with 6,000mAh batteries next year. This difference could make the S25 Ultra look "inferior" in terms of battery life compared to its competitors' devices.

However, the improved energy efficiency of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, which will be used in the device, may offer better battery performance rather than the same capacity.

In conclusion, the lack of a battery upgrade may disappoint those who were hoping for longer battery life, but other improvements to the device may offer better overall performance.
