hello. This is Technologytodaynow. We would like to share additional news about the Galaxy S25 Ultra battery and Snapdragon 8 4 Gen chipset.
Galaxy S25 Ultra battery and chipset additions
Galaxy S25 Ultra Battery Specifications
Samsung Electronics’ next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is expected to launch next year, will reportedly have the same battery specifications as its predecessor. “The Galaxy S25 Ultra will be equipped with a 5000mAh battery and support fast 45W charging,” Chinese IT tipster IceUniverse wrote on its X account on Friday. Chinese IT tipster IceUniverse claimed via his X account on Friday that “the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a 5000mAh battery with 45W charging support.”
Compare battery specifications with existing models
Samsung first adopted a 5000mAh battery in the Galaxy S20 Ultra in 2020.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra supported 25W charging, while later models support 45W fast charging. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to retain the same battery specs, with reports suggesting that internal changes won’t be significant and will focus primarily on design improvements and upgraded camera specs.
Performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which will be released early next year, will likely feature the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 4th generation chip. The latest news on the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen chip is that, according to media reports, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 4th Gen chip is expected to focus more on GPU energy efficiency rather than CPU performance.
According to internal testing results, the chip, manufactured by TSMC using the second-generation 3-nano process node “N3E,” is said to show remarkable performance on Adreno 750 GPUs.
Similar to the GPU performance of the powerful Dimensity 9300 application processor (AP) made by Taiwan MediaTek, the best GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 4th generation chip is half the power consumption.
This is expected to reduce the heat generation of the smartphone and increase the battery life.
Concerns about CPU performance
However, according to PhoneArena, the performance of the custom Orion CPU on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will only see a single-digit performance increase compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
IT tipster negativeonehero also suggests that if CPU performance is important to you, you may want to wait for the 5th generation chips. We’ll have to wait until the product is released to find out, but if the CPU performance improvements are only modest, it will be a disappointment for those who value CPU performance.
