Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone is set to launch next year, which will likely offer big improvements in battery life with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The Galaxy S25 series phones will also bring amazing enhancements over the current S series models.

Qualcomm’s latest chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite, seems to be a powerhouse for future Android devices. Early tests of phones using this chip, like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro and OnePlus 13, show that it can help devices last much longer on a single charge.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite promises a 27% improvement in power efficiency compared to previous models. This means phones using this chip don’t need as much battery power to run, which leads to longer battery life.

In tests, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro saw its battery life increase by nearly 30%, despite only having a slightly larger battery than the last model. The OnePlus 13 also showed a 42% improvement, lasting about 17.5 hours in a battery test, up from just 12.2 hours in the previous OnePlus 12 model.

These results suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite could bring big changes to battery performance in future smartphones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s expected that users will be able to enjoy all-day use without needing to charge their phones as often.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely be performance-focused, especially with its advanced camera features and premium display. The long-lasting battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could make it a powerhouse, providing longer-time benefits of advanced performance.
