Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite for Galaxy

Previously, there were rumours about Samsung using the Exynos chipset for their upcoming series, but the recent development suggests that the phone will indeed stick with the Qualcomm chipset. Not only that, the partnership between the two companies is still going strong as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will continue to enjoy the overclocked version of the chip. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might actually have “Snapdragon Elite for Galaxy” instead.

Extending Battery Life

The Galaxy S25 Ultra will pack with a 5,000mAh battery and a charging of 45W, which is nothing new to its previous Ultra series. But this time something new is coming to the regular; “Battery AI”.

The primary objective of Battery AI is to extend the longevity of the batteries in these devices by up to 10%. Unlike some Chinese competitors who increase the battery capacity to achieve similar results, Samsung is rumored to be opting for the integration of AI technology into its batteries.

While the exact workings of Battery AI remain undisclosed, it is suggested that the technology will eliminate non-essential tasks to improve overall battery runtime without compromising the phone’s performance. Notably, Battery AI is expected to function without downclocking the CPU and GPU, which is seen as a positive aspect by many users.

Camera

The camera of the Samsung S Ultra variant has always been the talk of the town. However, this time except for the ultrawide sensor, the camera does not have any update. This time the flagship will feature a 50-megapixel ISOCELL JN3 sensor for the ultrawide, a 200-megapixel H2 primary camera and a 10-megapixel IMX754 sensor for the 3x telephoto zoom. Samsung is sticking with the 5X sensor, which will be a 50-megapixel IMX584 sensor. So, for the front camera, it would be wise to keep the expectations low with a 12MP sensor.
