Rumor Says That The Galaxy S25 Series Should Get 10% Better Battery Life Thanks To “Battery AI”
Whether you like it or not, we have found ourselves in the era of AI, and AI is about to find its way into pretty much everything that exists, whether as software or hardware. Now, besides Galaxy AI, Samsung seems to have plans for its upcoming flagship smartphone series, the Galaxy S25 family, to make them come with a technology called “Battery AI”.
According to this rumor, as reported by WCCFTech, Battery AI will be an intelligent software feature that extends the battery life that you get from your smartphone and it seems that this feature will provide 10% better battery life at the same actual battery capacity. Speaking of the same battery capacity, it seems that Samsung doesn’t have any plans to bump up the capacity for the S25 Ultra, sticking to 5,000 mAh. Of course, this isn’t confirmed, and there’s no word on the capacities for the other phones in the series.
We’ve heard companies talking about improving battery life with intelligent tech, so this isn’t exactly the most novel thing the world has ever seen. However, whether this will achieve improved battery life by downclocking CPU and GPU cores or killing power hogs in the background isn’t known, though it’s assumed that it’ll be the latter.
A Popular Alternative Would Be To Slot In A Bigger Battery (Or Faster Charging, Samsung)
Most companies, in their drive for better battery life, simply choose to stick to larger cells. It’s not such a Herculean task, as we know many major flagships that approach 6,000 mAh when it comes to battery capacity. Of course, not all phones are built equally, especially when it comes to the hardware layout inside, and the S25 Ultra will have an S Pen to contend with, so I won’t be too harsh a judge (though I still think they could make it work if they wanted to).
I’m also not demeaning a 10% improvement in battery life either, but I’m not really the biggest believer when it comes to “software” or “technology” claims that companies make regarding the performance of their device, such as Battery AI, even coming from a bigger company like Samsung. After all, if they jumped from a 5,000 mAh cell to 5,500, I’m sure I’d be glad.
Either way, I’m ready to be proven wrong once the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup launches with this software in tow. I’m sure reviewers will be eager to have a taste of those battery improvements. However, another alternative that the company could explore to compensate for battery life would be faster charging, but for some reason, Samsung is allergic to anything faster than a 45W charger.
