The Samsung Galaxy S24 series, which consists of the standard Galaxy S24+ model and the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra, arrived in January with a host of new features and upgraded processors. Although their successors aren’t expected to arrive for several months, rumors about next year’s Galaxy S series of phones have already started to appear online. Over the past few weeks, we’ve revealed details about the cameras and chipset on 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 be equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery, just like the current generation Galaxy S24. The upcoming phone’s battery is said to have a rated capacity of 3,881 mAh like its predecessor, which could translate to an advertised typical capacity of 4,000 mAh.
The publication also states that the South Korean tech conglomerate has registered the name “Galaxy S25” in Mexico to protect the brand. The handset is said to have a model number of SM-S931.
Samsung’s battery upgrades on previous Galaxy S series phones
The battery capacity of the Galaxy S series smartphones has seen changes over the past few years. The older Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S21 models arrived with a 4,000 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S22 got a smaller 3,700 mAh battery. Samsung equipped the Galaxy S23 model launched in January 2023 with a 3900 mAh battery.
The Galaxy S24 received an increase in battery capacity by 100mAh to 4000mAh. While enthusiasts could expect the battery capacity to increase beyond 4000mAh in 2025, the report suggests that this may not happen. Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra are equipped with battery units of 4900 mAh and 5000 mAh respectively.
It is recommended to take these details with a grain of salt, as the alleged Samsung Galaxy S25 is not expected for several months.
Samsung could announce the Galaxy S25 lineup with significant design changes in January 2025, based on the company’s previous launch schedules. The vanilla model is predicted to come with a larger 6.36-inch display – the existing model has a 6.2-inch display. It is likely to run on the Exynos 2500 chipset in all markets. Samsung is rumored to ditch the ISOCELL sensors and use Sony image sensors as the main camera on the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+.
