DroidBoye, 31 Jan 2025Anyone noticed in the comparison section of the battery run... moreBuddy, you good? All of the ones upvoting this, so you guys need help? You can put the phones you mentioned in the list yourself. Well shit, they all have worse numbers in the battery test. Seriously, why are people so damn lazy?

    11h browsing - ok, not unexpected. But at the same time 10h gaming??!? What are you playing, gsmarena? Brawl stars?? On elite soc we'd expect more serious games tested, old ones we can play on 3y old phones

      anonymous225, 31 Jan 2025It's telling me I should get 13:51 (s25u) / 13:10 (s24... moreThis isn't about real life battery life but comparable results.

        It would be a nice phone if it was just called S25. But with Ultra in its name, it is Ultra NO.

            Raju, 31 Jan 2025How a rating of 4.5 with so many downgrades. You find so ma... moreBecause the downsides are arbitrary and not really serious. Just contra in comparison to others. As a phone itself there isn't much to fault

                    vik457, 31 Jan 2025Wrong, it got carried by calls testWrong, we get a bunch of results and it beat most of them at gaming and video playback, only really dipper for the browsing test. It held up very well. I out the phones from the charging test into the battery life list. Do the same. I know you want to hate on the phone, but atleast show some effort, otherwise it is just embarrassing.

                        This review is boring because S25U is a boring device.

                          Who would've thought, neither battery life nor the "slow" charging lags behind all that much compared to chinese phones. Hell, the S25 Ultra beats many competitors when it comes to battery life. I said the entire time people are exaggerating and getting mad for no reason and here is the damn truth, I was RIGHT. Battery life is great, charging battery behind those that use charging that is twice as fast on paper.

                            One must be either an idiot either the ultimate snob to pay 1500 euro for a phone, no matter what it does. I have recently bought myself a Motorola edge 50 Neo for 300 euros and I consider it is excellent. But then again, it is just a phone

                              Honor Magic7 Pro beats it by any measure... still rated lower.

Modern phones can stream for 10 or 20 hours it's true, if your phone eat more battery it means it doesn't use hardware acceleration,

                                    If you compare it even with S23U there is only incremental upgrades, not worth paying extra for them.

                                      Still, this phone could be so much better if Samsung chose to use the best components instead of trying to squeeze as much profits margins as possible. They don't even want to put their best display panels in their own 1500€ phones. Ridiculous
