In the battery test, this has an hour longer runtime with the same battery capacity. The density of the battery must have already improved because it is 5-6 grams lighter and 0.4mm thinner than the S24. But because battery life will improve even with the same capacity because of more efficient components, that is the reason why I am advocating to keep battery runtime the same for 2-3 years by slightly reducing the capacity each of those years. For example, the S26 going to like 3800 mAh, then the S27 to 3600 mAh. That way, the weight can be reduced not only by the battery density improvements, but the slightly reduced capacity at same battery runtime adds to that effect, as well as the thinner design, making it very quickly possible to reach less than 150g without any sacrifice. This is even more necessary on the 99% of other phones that are 6.5 inch and bigger.
This is also why I think the S25 Edge will not be as bad as part of the tech community (especially here) makes it out to be. 3900 mAh is smaller by comparison with other phones, and it will of course last shorter. But it will still be better than a 3900 mAh phone would have been 5 years ago because of more efficient displays, SoCs, modems etc., and that while having a very thin and — for the size — very lightweight design.
Also btw, I don’t say this specifically because Samsung did it, I don’t use Samsung phones anyway. I‘m saying this because of the implementation and not because of the brand. If any other brand came out with such a very thin and light (and better yet, small) phone, I would have said the same about that one.
Some people (especially here) will demand ever bigger batteries, and that will be kept up by niches like the gaming phones, but I believe these thinner designs which enable lighter weight will be the future for the previously mentioned reasons. A battery needs to only last one day, and at best that is true even after the battery degraded over multiple years so that a battery replacement is not necessary over the lifetime of the phone. But I think we are already close or at that point and there is no benefit to going beyond, because in a reasonable use case, a phone is charged once per day no matter what. And for most people, that is what they are doing, and the improvement in design is a bigger benefit than the superfluous battery runtime.

Ralph73, 14 Feb 2025This is a completely different phone from the s23 and s24. ... moreYou are just trying to justify the money you spent. S24 already had a great display. I dont know what is so much better with the S25. And no one apart from you says that. S24 already took good pictures, S25 is slightly better at best. Performance yes is much better but does someone notice it in day to day applications? It is not as if the S24 was a slow phone either. S25 is a very marginal upgrade to S24 really.

Johnweyn, 16 Feb 2025How much different is from the s24The main differences compared to the S24 (SM-S9210): 1. The display is much richer, more contrasting, the matrix is definitely different. 2. The camera takes much better pictures (I don’t even know why). 3. Battery life is better by an average of 12%. 4. Performance is much better in all respects. 5. The sound of the speakers is, in my opinion, at the same level. 6. The speaker is flawless. 7. The quality of communication under equal conditions of deployment is definitely better, 4G works flawlessly. The rest is not important to me.

This is a completely different phone from the s23 and s24. Don't look at the specs, they are supposedly the same on paper. But after using it, you will see a significant difference. 1. The display on the s25 is simply gorgeous, it has a different matrix. 2. The camera takes better pictures, amazing. 3. The battery life is significantly better. 4. Everyone already knows about the rest.
A great phone! Try it yourself, don't listen to anyone...

Hmm, 12 Feb 2025You are trolling right? It's hard to believe you. Same... more> Sure... 50mp vs 12mp.
You don't understand the interaction between sensor size and megapixel count. Most real pro/prosumer cameras don't even reach 50MP, and those that do (or exceed it) always have at least full-frame or medium format sensors. This cannot be compared with the pinhead-sized sensors in smartphone cameras, where the sweet spot in terms of resolution to color rendition and noise performance is probably closer to 8 or 10MP. The megapixel race on smartphones is a complete gimmick, and besides, the S25 already shoots in 12MP mode by default; the best setting.
> Telephoto vs no telephoto.
This is valid, but you're also forgetting about the S10e's variable aperture, the lack of which is really a downgrade. Ideally we'd have both.
>I mean S10e was good, I still have it as a backup, but don't carried away with posting such exaggerations.
The area where the S10e fails is the hard-coded overdone noise reduction automatically applied to all pictures taken in the default camera app that makes them look like an oil painting when you zoom in a little. In this area, the S25 is much better, and is able to get more detailed images as a result. The S25 also has better color rendition in ideal conditions (outdoors, gentle sunlight), but images taken in low light (particularly in very warm ambient light) have an extremely ugly and weird grey-yellowish cast, while the S10e renders warm tones far more accurately. I suspect there is something wrong with the auto white balance on this latest extended generation of Samsung cameras.

No 45w charging or superior in 2025?
And no upgrade of Gorilla Glass since S23...
At less bring the red color for Brazil and other countries

Android now has great memory and battery management features. Unused apps get cleared from RAM, and even put to sleep if not used for extended period of time. There is no battery drain either (and if on a rare occasion some app misbehaves, you get clear indication and can deal with that app).
