Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Bigger RAM, Better Battery Life Expected
Recent leaks suggest Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra could see significant improvements in both RAM capacity and battery efficiency. Here's what we know so far:
Massive RAM Upgrade
According to tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may offer a configuration with a whopping 16GB of RAM. This would double the expected 8GB in Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially giving Samsung a major advantage in multitasking and AI capabilities.

Better Battery Life Despite Same Capacity
While the S25 Ultra is rumored to retain the same 5,000mAh battery as its predecessor, it could still see improved battery life thanks to more efficient hardware:
- The expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset is rumored to offer major improvements in GPU energy efficiency.
- A Discord leaker suggests the new chip could match peak MediaTek Dimensity 9300 GPU performance at half the power consumption.

Potential Trade-offs
It's not all good news, however. The same leaks indicate that CPU performance improvements may be minimal, with single-digit percentage gains expected.
What This Means for Users
- Improved multitasking and AI performance with increased RAM
- Longer battery life, especially for graphics-intensive tasks
- Potentially no significant speed boost for general usage
While these are still early rumors, they paint an interesting picture of Samsung's priorities for its 2025 flagship. The focus seems to be on efficiency and AI capabilities rather than raw processing power.
We expect to learn more concrete details as we approach the likely January 2025 launch window for the Galaxy S25 series.
