Customers who will purchase Galaxy A14 between 15 March to 31 December 2023 will also get Samsung care+ one-year extended warranty.
Samsung plans to expand its flagship Galaxy S series by launching the next-generation Galaxy S25 series early next year, promising a mesmerizing novelty known as Battery AI.
It has already been reported that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to come with no battery or charging upgrades, as compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has a 5000mAh battery capacity. By this prospect, the Galaxy S25 is expected to have a 5000mAh battery, which somehow is quite disappointing. Although the brand has yet to unveil the battery specs,.
But no upgrades in the ratio of batteries doesn’t mean there’s no upgrade in the battery’s performance. Yes! You read that right, as Samsung aspires to raise that backup by up to 10% with something named ‘Battery AI.’ Maybe this is the next step to expand the features in Galaxy AI. Samsung has already introduced generative AI features under the title ‘Galaxy AI’. Transparently, these AI features are the key reason behind raising sales.
Although there’s a lack of official and enough details of Batter AI, judging by the name, Battery AI could be an intelligent feature baked into the next version of Galaxy AI. This is being reported by a tipster (PandaFlash) on X that an unnamed source informed him of this feature, and users can experience a 5.10% increase in the total runtime.
Software designed to upgrade battery life often comes with downsides. It’s possible that it can slow down your device’s CPU and GPU downclocking and not achieve anything at all. However, in some particular scenarios, the 5G modem’s maximum throughput is also limited.
Noticeably, the tipster didn’t mention exactly how battery AI will work or if this feature will arrive for the Galaxy S25 series. Since the Galaxy S25 series is next in line, it is expected that it could bring this novelty.

Samsung debuted its Galaxy S24 series earlier this year in January and scheduled its next-generation Galaxy S25 series for early 2025. Rumors now suggest that the Galaxy S26 series, expected to launch in 2026, will feature in-house GPUs.
It is quite early to discuss the Galaxy S26 series since the Galaxy S25 series is still in the budding phase and could take half a year more to take the floor. We now expect Samsung to forego using AMD as an in-house GPU for the Galaxy S26. Samsung is actively working on the next-generation Exynos chip, which has the model number S5E9955 and has an AMD RDNA-based GPU.

A well-known tipster, @rquandt, speculated on this in a post on X, saying, “In 2026, Samsung seems to aim for the release of a next-gen flagship SoC featuring its own GPU.”
The tipster also reported that the giant is gearing up to debut its smartphone processor for the Galaxy S26, which could have its own GPU. Samsung is preparing a powerful and efficient processor for the next-generation Galaxy S25, utilizing its second-generation 3 nm process node for fabrication.
Apart from all this, the Korean brand appears to have created a separate team of more than 1,000 engineers to work with the System LSI team on co-development and optimization.
We already crossed the first quarter of 2024, and the results are fortunate for the tech industry since the global smartphone market grew by six percent.
If the reports are to be believed, the global smartphone market seems to be rebounding, with Android smartphones particularly finding success in the first quarter of the year. Comprehensively, the market grew by six percent year-over-year regardless of Apple shipping only a few iPhones last quarter as compared to Q1 2023, and that appears due to the great success of Samsung Galaxy phones.
Samsung is typically the top smartphone manufacturer in terms of sales, but things appeared to have changed over the months of 2023 since it later lost that title to Apple in Q4 2023. However, as Apple posted a 13% decline in shipments in the first quarter of 2024, Samsung took it as a golden opportunity and was able to recapture the leading position. Samsung devices made up 20% of the total smartphones shipped last quarter, whereas iPhones accounted for only 17%.
In the premium smartphone market, phones above $800 grew the fastest in Q1 2024. This benefited Apple the most, probably because customers are choosing the more expensive iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Furthermore, Apple maintained its position as the smartphone revenue leader, with a 43% share of the market. The success of select brands in regions outside of North America, such as TECNO, Xiaomi, Honor, and Huawei, partially explains the entire growth. Of the top five OEMs, Xiaomi grew the most last quarter, improving shipments by 34%.
It is expected that the trend of strong growth in the premium smartphone market will continue. This is driven by the arrival of new phones with generative AI capabilities. Analysts are predicting that at least 11% of smartphones shipped in 2024 will have generative AI. However, Apple has yet to join the generative AI list.
