The battery life comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus reveals some notable differences primarily due to their battery capacities and expected performance enhancements.
Battery Capacity
- Galaxy S25: Equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery.- Galaxy S25 Plus: Features a larger 4,900 mAh battery, which is expected to provide longer usage times compared to the standard model[1][3].
Expected Performance
While both models maintain similar charging speeds (25W for the S25 and 45W for the S25 Plus), the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is anticipated to improve power efficiency significantly. This chipset is expected to enhance performance while consuming less power, potentially allowing both models to achieve better overall battery life than their predecessors, despite having similar battery capacities[1][4][5].Real-World Usage
In practical terms, the Galaxy S25 Plus is likely to offer longer usage times due to its larger battery. For instance, early estimations suggest that the S25 could provide around 29 hours of video playback, while the S25 Plus might extend that time slightly due to its increased capacity[7]. However, exact battery life figures will depend on real-world testing once the devices are available[5].Overall, if extended battery life is a priority, the Galaxy S25 Plus would be the preferable choice due to its larger battery capacity and improved efficiency from the new chipset.
