S25U battery test showed an improved of 1 hour over the S24U: 14:49h vs 13:49.
Why s25 base model did not show the sam result?
Someone has an explanation?

Similar battery life to S24 or even slightly lower would be closer to true. Every reviewer, that makes living from tech reviews, avoids giving bad reviews.

... moreWell Tom's Guide's tests found the S25 to have significantly better battery life than the Snapdragon S24, by 2 and a quarter hours, also beating the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro:

This puts it at 14th in the best of all current phones they've tested, which is really pretty good considering it's a compact phone much smaller and so with much less battery capacity than any other on this list, and only marginally behind the S24 Plus:

And I'm mostly talking about other websites reporting a much improved battery life even against the SD S24.
I knew the battery life would be the same.

I am curious as to which country your Samsung Galaxy S25 was manufactured in?
My unit was made in India. Information about the country of manufacture can be seen on the underside of the box.

Anonymous, 07 Feb 2025Should I upgrade from my S20?Does it still work well for you? Is its battery health still good? If so, I'd say hold on to it. Why fix or replace what isn't broken unless you simply wish to upgrade just because.

really is a shame the x200 mini with the d9400 didnt release globally, it mighvve been actual competition for the base s series. it really just is best in class by default huh? even if the chip is way too power hungry for its chassis.

I'm confused because many other reviews states that the battery life has greatly improved from the S24. I mean I wasn't really expecting it to improve as it is the exact same phone, same battery, same display. It's just the SoC being different.
So other websites are probably wrong.

And in this review S25 has similar battery life to the S24 they reviewed a year ago and that was the Exynos version of the S24.

if compact flagships are not to be desired, apple hasn't been so determined for releasing 2 upgraded flagships each year. for a proper compact android go get xioami 15 or pixel 9 pro

One key issue often goes unaddressed: the Pro Mode RAW problem. Since the CWB7 update on the S22 Ultra in early 2023, the so-called RAW files in Pro Mode no longer provide uncompressed, original sensor data. Instead, they’re already demosaiced and pre-processed, meaning there’s no possibility to recover highlights or shadows. This significant regression has carried over through the S23, S24, and now the S25 Ultra, representing a major loss of flexibility for photography enthusiasts.
