I am so annoyed with brands making the phones thinner. Phones are already thin enough... What I need is a big ass battery to go through 2 of 3 days, but they'd rather make it last barely one day.

The batteries are already quite huge..it's just the constant consumption and usage behavior is changing with it..

That's one reason why I ditched Samsung after using the Note 10 Plus and A52 5G and chose the Redmagic 9 pro. It's an absolute battery beast. 10h+ screen-on-time when using mobile data, in WiFi I get 14 hours and more without gaming

[@josefdean8280]

@@nico3064 The Redmagic 10 Pro+ made an impressive leap from an already substantial 6500mAh battery to a 7050mAh this year. so it's quite disappointing that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will stuck with a 5000mAh battery.

How does the regular S24 and probably S25 still only have FHD 1080P displays? In 2024/25? I remember back in 2014ish, 10 years ago we were moving away from 1080P to 1444P and 4K.

[@maximusg88]

The only thing that would make me switch from my s23U would be much bigger batteries.

[@Dadniel1st]

Much bigger battery is not enough. It's pointless to have 6000mAh if the screen and processor use more power. You should only look for real life use battery endurance test. You can debloat a phone with 4000mAh and make it last longer than 6000mAh phone. That's why sometimes a budget phone like A25 can have better battery life than the S24.

[@maximusg88]

@Dadniel1st the budget phones last longer because they have less power hungry SOCs

[@zelo6237]

​@@Dadniel1stok? a bigger battery would still allow a phone to last longer. it's also not as black and white as you make it seem. more capable hardware doesn't necessarily mean more power consumption

samsung has been in the dumps for quite some time now. "new" phones with bearly any upgrades that doesn't makes their releases feel special and exciting that is just overpriced and waste of money , terrible choices made in terms of hardware to cheap out for max profit and terrible software and piss poor battery life. in the early days of the smartphone era, samsung in my eyes used to much more the forefront , but nowadays they bearly resemble what they used to be. also, one of the major reason why chinese brands have become bigger over the years in the eu is because they offer MUCH MORE FOR LESS.can't speak for asia but it might be the same there ? if samsung and apple wanted to , they could have done the same, but they choose not to. if they lose market share outside of the us , its on them for being complacent and ignorant.

[@antraxbeta23]

Samsung's mistake was to want to be Apple, asking apple prices only made people buy apple, i know i for one @ the same price will buy a iphone over a samsung, since apple doesn't have the habbit to stop software suport after 2 major OS updates, and then came the tab s 10, putting a mediatek chip in a premium tablet was a major mistake, i was really hyped that the tab s10 would use the SD elite, but they went to cheap chip to max out profits, so m4 ipad pro it is for me.

[@AryanSingh-y3c6h]

yes, probably. you have a big battery, so exynos does not makes a difference. i want a small size model i mean base model, but i want its processor to be efficient, beacuse base models' batteries are smaller and if its not an efficient processor, battery will drain so much. s24 exynos 2400 is even worse than s23 (snapdragon 8 gen 2)

[@amigosan]

"bring back notification led" at least if they could bring us some software implementation of it would be good, but having the physical notification led... i think nobody really wants this, it will just take on the screen to body ratio but i am completly up for some audiophile high res dac and headphone jack, EVEN if i have to say that those buds 3 pro, with the right EQ and the lossless codec activated.... just sound so freaking amazing

@myrtlebasil5168 i understand your concerns, for me it is just a matter of new routines. No big issue since I always ADB uninstall most of the one UI OS apps anyway and install my preferred FOSS alternatives

[@frankvuong1080]

Shoot they can keep the design the same, just give me back microsd and a headphone jack. Shoot make it fat again and provide a removal battery.

[@marksouthwell4490]

Most companies are phasing those out. SD cards degrade over time, plus companies offer cloud storage at a reasonable price. Headphones jack can weaken IP rating

[@frankvuong1080]

@marksouthwell4490 nah sd cards last pretty long compared to the life of the smart phone, LG v30 still had ip68 rating. So it can be done. Companies would lose money of these features were added again.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

I have one of those S24 with a "mere 8GB of RAM". It's plenty. Never wanted more. But RAM is not particularly expensive and these phones are very expensive, so maybe it should have more. What I'm really looking for is a cheaper foldable with a larger internal display closer to a 3:2 aspect ratio.

I honestly hope the S25 Slim is just a Ultra without a S-pen meaning more real estate for bigger battery inside the phone.

[@bonedatt]

Remove the S-Pen, and you still won't get a bigger battery from Samsung. The S-Pen isn't the reason why Samsung hasn't increased its battery capacity on the Ultra phones.
