Anonymous, 11 Mar 2026An €850 new S25 Ultra is definitely not new. It's a renewed phone. Renewed... Preowned..... moreNah, you can actually find new ones for that price. And that is with VAT...

    Anonymous, 10 Mar 2026Will battery life be even better on the SD model?No? Isn't the Ultra having Snapdragon and 100mah more battery? Even with that it lost to Exynos Plus

        I like this exynos 2600 , it's Enhanced . Exynos never like this , it's always gap between exynos mediatek and Snapdragon, i think it's couse arm base architecture , even still the same 10 core with that config. Single core on Exynos 2600 it's powerful then before

                        Samsung of all companies still using 10mp and 12mp camera sensors in 2026 in their S-tier phones.
                        What a shame!!!!!!

                          GSMarena still doesn't know how to properly assess sustained performance.
                          The S26+ has excellent sustained performance. Other phones with similar or even better sustained numbers get a negative rating because they don't cheat with low starting numbers and loose some more points compared to the starting number.

                          Don't look at percentage. Look at absolute Performance, peak and sustained.

                            You need to see the Score from GSMARE**NA itself.. (S26 score is out too).
                            Check the Web Browsing, Video and Game test score. Web browsing gives CPU efficiency metrics.

                              Shahar, 11 Mar 2026So once you again the Exynos version is much worse than the SD version, and even barely beatin... moreYeah, but you don't need that kind of performance, anyway. Even an 8s Gen 4 is more than adequate for daily tasks + gaming. Heck, even Tensor G5 is good enough and that's barely faster than an 8 Gen 2!

                                Anonymous, 11 Mar 2026Can someone tell me how exactly iphone is able to pull better battery life from 4000mah batter... moreYou can't possibly compare Android with iOS.
                                iOS is a lightweight handicapped operating system.
                                Can't even do split screen multi-tasking like Android.
                                For so many years, they couldn't do true multi-tasking.
                                Apps would freeze in the background, there was no ability to customize, run parallel spaces on the same OS, etc.

                                Besides, there is no optimization secret, they just operate at lower clock speeds during day to day operations.

                                Android manufacturers like Samsung did exactly that.
                                And now even the Chinese brands do that and get that same level of "optimization", just out of a bigger battery. Hence, the bigger better endurance results.

                                      Nice efficency gains, hope they continue putting more effort towards battery efficiency and ignoring benchmark bragging rights.

                                        Samsung seems to be prioritising Efficiency over Benchmark bragging rights as they should honestly. The fact that the battery tests are close when compared to ultra which has an extra 100mah and CPU throttling is at a healthy 70% when pushed means that the device is supposed to run cooler and more efficient with normal use.

                                        Now I'm excited for S26 base exynos vs snapdragon as It would be interesting to see how they would fare against each other in efficiency and performance.
