The Galaxy S25 Ultra features the same 5,000 mAh battery as before, but now with a slightly larger 6.9-inch display. We tested it to see how its battery performs against its rivals to find out how much better it is.

The star of the current show, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, can be yours for as low as $399 (512GB down from $1,419) with eligible trade-in—a fraction of its regular price. To put this in perspective, an iPhone 16 Pro with 512GB storage retails for $1,299. The savings are huge and that’s before factoring in the additional perks!

Probably the biggest hardware enhancement Samsung added to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest and greatest in Snapdragon processing, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. After a little bit of time using the phone, I can confirm everything feels very speedy and responsive.

Samsung announced its new flagship smartphones quite recently. The company introduced three Galaxy S25 series phones, and in this article, we’ll talk about the most powerful one. We’ll be comparing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.
