Samsung may have revealed the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 this week at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event. While technically accomplished, these phones are very much the gee-whizz of Samsung’s commercial offerings. The regular flagship Galaxy S Ultra carries that responsibility. Now we know more about the next premium phone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The latest details come courtesy of India’s Bureau of Indian Standards. While it is some six months away from a presumed launch, the government department has certified two batteries destined for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Beyond the two part numbers (EB-BS938ABE and EB-BS938ABY), the certification is short on any other details. Samsung has used multiple suppliers in previous years, so it’s likely that, just as it did with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, these two model numbers represent two different suppliers.
Since the first Galaxy Ultra was launched in 2020, each model has sported a 5,000 mAh battery. However, updating the actual technology in the battery’s hardware and the software regulating the power used by the smartphone has allowed the endurance of each model to meet the expected benchmarks.
Samsung is expected to continue using a 5,000 mAh battery in next year’s Ultra handset. no doubt continuing to refine its OneUI software to offer better battery life. With competing handsets offering more capacity, such as the OnePlus 12’s 5,450 mAh or the ROG Phone 8’s 5,400 mAh, there will be many asking if it’s time to increase the battery capacity of the top-tier Galaxy Ultra in its sixth year.
Now, look back on how Samsung introduced Galaxy AI to the world in the Galaxy S24 family…
