Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series, consisting of the standard model, the Galaxy S24+, and the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra, arrived in January with a host of new features and upgraded processors. While successors are still months away, rumours about next year’s Galaxy S-series handsets have already surfaced online. In recent weeks, we’ve discovered details about the cameras and chipset of the alleged Samsung Galaxy S25. Now, details about the handset’s battery have surfaced online.
Samsung Galaxy S25 battery details leaked
GalaxyClub reports (in Dutch) that the Galaxy S25 will come equipped with a 4,000mAh battery, just like the current Galaxy S24 model. The upcoming phone’s battery is said to have a nominal capacity of 3,881mAh, just like its predecessor, and this could translate to an advertised typical capacity of 4,000mAh.
The publication also reports that the South Korean tech conglomerate has registered the name “Galaxy S25” in Mexico to protect the brand. The handset is said to have the model number SM-S931.
Samsung battery upgrades on previous Galaxy S series phones
Battery capacities of Galaxy S series smartphones have changed over the years. The older Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S21 models came with a 4,000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S22 got a smaller 3,700mAh battery. Samsung equipped the Galaxy S23 model, which launched in January 2023, with a 3,900mAh battery.
The Galaxy S24 has received a 100mAh battery capacity increase to 4,000mAh. While enthusiasts may have expected a battery capacity increase of over 4,000mAh by 2025, the report suggests that may not happen. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra come with 4,900mAh and 5,000mAh battery units respectively.
It’s advisable to take these details with a grain of salt, considering the expected Samsung Galaxy S25 won’t hit the market for a few more months.
Samsung could announce the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025 with significant design changes, based on the company’s previous launch schedule. The vanilla model would reportedly get a larger 6.36-inch display — the existing model has a 6.2-inch screen. It will likely be powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset in all markets. Rumors have it that Samsung will ditch the ISOCELL sensors and use Sony’s image sensors for the primary camera on the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+.
