Little is known about the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, but we can make some guesses based on the current trajectory of Samsung's flagships. For example, Samsung's 2025 flagships will be powered by the new Exynos chip and may come with more advanced Galaxy AI features.
Speaking of AI, there are new rumors that Samsung will use AI technology to improve the battery life of the Galaxy S25 series. The company may not increase physical battery capacity, but smarter AI solutions could lead to improvements in this area.
AI power saving is not new
The idea of using AI to extend battery life has been explored and implemented before. As you may know, Samsung's AI power saving features have been around for years, even before Galaxy AI was introduced. Improve battery life by learning from your patterns and optimizing background tasks.
But this new rumor (via WCCF Tech) suggests that Samsung's upcoming AI-powered battery saving system will be based on a new concept. Limiting CPU or GPU performance or optimizing background tasks will not improve battery life.
We recommend taking this rather sketchy rumor with a grain of salt, as it sounds a little unrealistic and magical. There may be some truth to this in that Samsung's existing AI power saving mode could get even better next year. However, it's hard to imagine how improvements would occur without some judicious performance tuning or background task management.
In any case, rumors suggest that the new AI battery saving system will improve battery life on the Galaxy S25 Ultra by around 5-10%, which is no surprise.
Samsung started using AI more extensively this year. The Galaxy S24 series is the first to feature his Galaxy AI, and the upcoming Galaxy Z6 foldable smartphone is expected to bring unique improvements to the system. Samsung is betting on AI and hopes it will help it gain market share, so it is logical to assume that the Galaxy S25 series will be even more of an AI smartphone than his S24.
