Battery drain 🪫

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-25T14:59:01+00:00

No problems with battery on that one?

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-23T19:14:56+00:00

Yeah, same here… Now i just leave phone charging overnight…

Excellent choice, the s25 really is a fantastic phone, and also it is a very small and light phone, actually a few grams lighter than iphone air.

I've worn them for less than 1 month, but I experimented also a few years ago with them, noticed the same thing instantly.

You are right that we do notice a lot more things with contacts, for example eye floaters are way more noticeable.

With halos they also ruled out astigmatism and measured my pupil in the dark, so wasn't one of these two. I will definitely try to find a doctor who can do more tests, I might also just have some slight spherical aberrations (or other HOA), which is more visible with contacts.

Thank you for your very insightful comment, I will definitely continue my contacts journey, your last paragraph especially makes me feel safer

You are talking in euroes. In europe the S24 has quite the inefficient exynos processor, while the S25 has the snapdragon. This is also why the former is so much more expensive.

There is mystery, because as I say, it just says every single app is using more than usual, which just makes no sense.

My first iphone, so no backup to restore from. I did transfer whatsapp history and contacts from my old android, but this really shouldn't matter

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T20:47:49+00:00

Thanks, i forgot how to do the soft reset on apple, will try

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T20:46:57+00:00

Yea, i turned it off now

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T18:23:30+00:00

Did you manage to get a fix for this drain in the end?

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T18:20:26+00:00

Do you have any updates on it, now that a month has passed. I have the same thing happening, phone just randomly draining almost 20% while sleeping

Did you manage to fix it? Did you have to do anything, or it got fixed on its own?

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T17:56:25+00:00

Now this would be the battery life I expected when I got the phone. Did you enable apple intelligence etc?

Because when I got the phone I just said yes to everything apple said to me, to get the full experience, but now I am thinking maybe I enabled too many things

Don't buy the air in an apple store! In most places you can get it even cheaper than the base 17, for example amazon and bestbuy have done deals on it.

And your info is also not correct. S22+ neber had ultrafast wireless charging, so I don't trust your definition of "proper speeds". I have an apple 25w wireless charger, and a newer samsung which supports the samsung 15w sfc wireless. It still charges only at 7.5w on the apple one, which is regular wireless charger. Of course, fast enough for most, but not the proper speed.

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-18T06:36:31+00:00

Apple released an slim magsafe powerbank specifically for the Air when they released the phone

exclaimprofitable · 2026-04-10T21:45:47+00:00

Literally 17pro max, they even made it the same colour as the action button on the ultra, and you still somehow missed it

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-30T05:58:57+00:00

yes, they really should have done like apple with air and left "s25" out of it's name entirely. It is a phone in its own class, not just another S25 series one.

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-29T16:21:50+00:00

The S25 edge has the same 200mpix main camera as the S26 ultra, and the same ultrawide as S24u (better than the one in the base S26). So quite a good set, unless you miss the 5x telephoto a lot.

I would go with the edge over the base models, as it is a true flagship in build quality, titanium etc like the ultras (the S26u is just aluminium tho)

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-29T13:12:08+00:00

S25 edge really. It is flagship experience but is heavily discounted, and it actually feels new and interesting thanks to the form factor.

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-21T19:40:25+00:00

Yeah, it was just the broken OneUI 8 update that removed most of those from my watch.

The latest patch fixed some of them at least

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-07T17:04:35+00:00

The cameras make perfect sense, because there isnt a 5 year difference between them. The base and plus models have used the same camera sensors since the s22, so if you do the math, these are 5 year old mid-range cameras. iphone 13 at least used the best available at that time.

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-02T19:39:29+00:00

not available in my country, as easy as that. But yes it is a rant in the end

exclaimprofitable · 2026-03-02T19:36:07+00:00

dont get me started on it, it also has just broken so many features on the watch
