Samsung To Announce ‘Battery AI’ Ahead Of Galaxy S25 and One UI 7
Samsung is actively building up to expand the versatility of Galaxy AI, and now a new novelty is appearing standing on the door named ‘Battery AI’, expected to arrive on older models ahead of the Galaxy S25 series.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is next in line to debut in early 2025, and previously it was reported that it would bring no battery change but is expected to introduce a novelty called ‘Battery AI’ which will use artificial intelligence to add an extra 5% to 10% runtime to the battery life.
Now the reports take a U-turn as recent rumors unveiled that Samsung could introduce a battery AI feature before the Galaxy S25 lineup launch. By this point, it appears that it will be supported on older models. The reason behind this change appears to be that Samsung is addressing battery life complaints with its foldable Galaxy Z Flip models. The current foldable flagship Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a tiny battery because of space limitations; that’s why the giant is using a battery AI to improve battery life.
This is being speculated on by a report by PandaFalsh on X. If the reports are to be believed, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will arrive with battery AI, which would boost the battery life by up to 30 minutes. Apart from this, Samsung is also expected to bring the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 in both the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 versions of its more affordable foldable handset.
However, here’s the strange fact that Battery AI will only launch for one model but not for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, especially because the device with the smaller capacity asks for this feature the most. Somewhere, this feature is also expected to be available on all Galaxy devices, not just the tiny battery ones.

The Korean firm ‘Samsung Display’ is busily working on manufacturing displays for iPhone 16 Pro models, for which it has applied its latest materials called ‘M14.’
The new report says that Samsung Display has applied their latest materials, known as ‘M14’, to displays for iPhone 16 Pro models. This report suggests that the Korean giant will supply OLED panels with a set of M14 organic materials to the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models of Apple, along with the Google Pixel 9 series.
Google is setting up to release the next-generation Pixel 9 series by the end of this year. Google has already confirmed that it will host a ‘Made by Google’ event on August 13 to unveil new smartphone products. Samsung’s chipset belongs to the M-series, which designates the highest-performing OLED panels with the latest materials for flagship smartphones.
The latest M14 is a breakthrough material, offering the best brightness and lifespan yet. It seems that domestic firms—for instance, Deoksan Nelux, Samsung SDI, and LG Chem—were named in M14. Deoksan Neolux offers red and green prime and an auxiliary material hole transport layer (HTL). whereas Samsung SDI is the green host, and LG Chem is the provider of the hole defense layer (a-EL) and the electron transport layer (ETL).
Apart from this, Apple is pleased with the decision by Samsung to supply the Google Pixel 9 with the same OLED advantages as the iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple is already actively working to introduce its next-gen iPhone 16 Pro models. It is expected that both the Google Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16 could arrive anytime in the second half of this year.

Samsung is going through a quite busy schedule, as it is about to launch its next-generation foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6and Galaxy Z Flip 6, and a few more wearable products. Meanwhile, it has also started working on the flagship Galaxy S25 series, which is supposed to be launched in early 2025. The forthcoming series is rumored to use MediaTek chips.
If the rumor is to be believed, Samsung may shake hands with MediaTek chips for its upcoming Galaxy S25 series. The report hints particularly at going with the flagship Dimensity 9400 chip, potentially alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung’s own Exynos 2500. This cloud resulted in Samsung’s next flagship family featuring three different systems on chips (SoCs) across various markets.
If this report comes true, then it could be the reason for reducing the price of the series. The MediaTek chip may be budgetable as compared to Qualcomm’s SoC. However, it has yet to be confirmed that Samsung’s consideration of the high-end MediaTek chipset is due to Qualcomm’s rumored price hike for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or poor yields on the Exynos 2500.
The current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC costs approximately $190–$200, but it seems that its successor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, might be priced as high as $260 per unit. Additionally, the yield of 3nm Exynos 2500 is only about 40%, falling short of the necessary 60% for mass production. It is also reported that the Korean giant is now working on upgrading its Exynos 2500 by August.
If the yields of the brand remain low and Qualcomm’s next-generation chipset could be costly, it could be beneficial for Samsung to use MediaTek in their chipset lineup. This move could also serve as a consultation tactic with Qualcomm, providing Samsung with more flexibility in its approach to the production of its upcoming Galaxy S25 family.
