Samsung has maintained the same 5,000mAh battery capacity and fast-charging speeds for various flagship generations falling under the Galaxy S Ultra lineup. Sadly, based on one rumor, the company will repeat history with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch next year. This means that Samsung has to develop creative ideas to deliver a higher runtime than the previous models.
Samsung may skip stacked battery technology on the Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component costs
Stacked battery technology was previously rumored to debut on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but things did not pan due to undisclosed reasons. Now, an X user named Sawyer Galox claims that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component costs. In addition to Sawyer Galox, PandaFlash also voiced his disappointment with Samsung’s forthcoming flagship’s battery and fast-charging capabilities, stating that potential buyers must keep their expectations low.

With the Galaxy S25 Ultra now rumored to keep the same 5,000mAh cell as Samsung’s previous top-end models, the company has to resort to other ways to deliver that impressive runtime, starting with the chipset. We have reported that the Korean technology behemoth will adopt a dual-chipset approach with its Galaxy S25 family, with some models shipping with the Exynos 2500 instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The company followed this approach with the Galaxy S24 series earlier this year, but its Galaxy S24 Ultra exclusively shipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Assuming the Galaxy S25 Ultra will only feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Samsung’s alleged reasons for skipping stacked battery technology are well justified. We say this because a Qualcomm executive stated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, thanks to those custom Oryon cores. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 estimated to cost $200, Samsung would be sacrificing its margins considerably with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, preventing it from using advanced battery technologies.
Fortunately, the thread states that Samsung will adopt a stacked battery on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, it is too early to jump to conclusions now, as plans can change instantly. For now, we will wait for the Galaxy S25 Ultra to launch next year and provide any updates on its internal hardware.

The ‘less than stellar’ demand for the Apple Vision Pro has caused shipment estimates to drop to 400,000 to 450,000 units for 2024, a massive drop compared to the previous 800,000 estimates. Consumers are discouraged from making the AR headset their daily driver thanks to its ludicrous starting price of $3,499, and even though Apple intends to launch the device overseas, its ‘expensive’ problem is yet to be addressed. Fortunately, the company might overcome this hurdle with the Apple Vision Pro 2, with a rumor claiming that the successor will have a starting price of $1,500 and will add two new suppliers, Samsung and SeeYa, to the list.
A few rumors have clamored that Samsung intends to keep several areas of the Galaxy S25 Ultra unaltered compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the specifications bit might be another story. One tipster mentions that the Korean giant will finally introduce a RAM upgrade to its top-end flagship in 2025, but the internal storage might not change.

The Galaxy S24 lineup was introduced with Samsung’s first AI-powered software suite called Galaxy AI. Given that the new models accounted for 53 percent of the Korean giant’s Q1 2024 operating profit, many would conclude that these features would be one reason for their popularity. Unfortunately, based on a separate rumor, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will disappoint in the battery department, as it sticks with the same 5,000mAh battery as previous-generation models. However, Samsung intends to raise that backup by up to 10 percent with something called ‘Battery AI.’

It took a good friend of mine three episodes of the Apple TV Plus show Sugar before he texted me to say that he thought he knew the big twist the series was hiding and that it was “so insane” he had “no choice but to respect it.” Intrigued, I dove into Sugar myself, and three episodes in, I came to the exact same conclusion — but I’m not going to share it with you here because you really need to see it for yourself.
It has been a couple of days since I got my hands on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the device is one of the best I have used. It is evident that Samsung has managed to outdo itself in almost every aspect and the best thing is that the device feels so much more premium than before. My only subjective gripe is that the Titanium Black is not the darkest shade of black, but that aside, the phone is perfect. However, the phone has one thing that I cannot get over and that is just how inaccurate the fingerprint sensor can be. If you are pulling your hair out trying to figure out how to fix the fingerprint issue on Galaxy S24 Ultra, then you are not the only one as I have been dealing with the same issue, and in this tutorial, I am going to help you figure things out.
