Recent leaks from tipster DigitalChatStation (DCS) on Weibo have revealed potential specifications for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, particularly focusing on its battery and charging capabilities.
However, the information suggests that Samsung may not be making significant upgrades in these areas.
• Charging Speed: The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to maintain the 45W wired charging support, the same as its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
• Battery Capacity: The device is rumored to feature a 5,000mAh battery, which may seem underwhelming by the time of its release.
• Comparison with Competitors:
– Chinese brands offer faster charging: Xiaomi 14 (90W), OPPO Find X7 Ultra (100W), Vivo X100 Ultra (80W), iQOO 12 Pro (120W).
– US competitors: iPhone 15 Pro Max (20W), Pixel 8 Pro (30W).
– Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
– Camera: 3x medium-focus and 5x periscope ultra-telephoto lenses
– Possible upgrades to ultrawide sensor and lens resolutions
– 200MP main camera likely to remain unchanged
1. Feature Democratization: The 45W charging is already available in mid-range Samsung phones like the Galaxy M55, blurring the line between premium and regular models.
2. Competitive Positioning: While behind Chinese competitors in charging speed, Samsung still leads among US-based rivals.
3. Battery Capacity Concerns: DCS suggests 6,000mAh batteries may become standard by the S25 Ultra’s release, potentially making the 5,000mAh capacity seem outdated.
This leak shows that Samsung may be taking a conservative approach with the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and charging capabilities.
It remains to be seen how this strategy will impact Samsung’s position in the premium segment.
