The battle between Android and iOS flagships never cools down. Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is expected t
o beat its rival, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, in many ways, including battery life. Samsung proudly claims that the S25 Ultra can play video
continuously for 31 hours, thanks to a combination of new battery technology and software optimization.
However, Apple unexpectedly "counterattacked" when it announced that the iPh
one 16 Pro Max can reach up to 33 hours of continuous video playback. It is worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro Max only has a 4,685mAh batt
ery, significantly smaller than the 5,000mAh battery on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

This information will certainly surprise many users. It seems that the com
bination of the A18 Pro chip and the iOS operating system has brought about su
perior energy saving efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite and One UI 7 duo on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Still, the S25 Ultra's 31 hours of video playback is impressive, and many experts believe that the powerful performance of the
Snapdragon 8 Elite, especially the overclocked version used on the S25 Ultra, may be the reason for the device's higher power consumption.
Regardless, the race between the two giants is far from over. Users will be the ones who benefit the most from this competition, with increasingly powerful and optimized products.
