some thoughts after almost a week

The phone feels very nice in my hand.  

The battery lasts all day which is fine though it is a little less than my S24 Ultra.  My S24 Ultra would last, according to Device care / Battery, 23 hours or even 1 Day and several hours on a full charge.

My S25 Ultra will last almost 21 hours, and it should be mentioned that the battery learning phase has completed.  

So, the battery lasts an entire day but there's a lower percentage of battery remaining when I place it on my wireless charger at night.

I'm still quite happy on the price I paid for my S25 Ultra / 1T  ...  €1,039 / $1,078 / £866
I bought this directly from my provider, Vodafone NL, and own the phone outright.

Hi, Thats interesting. My S25U is still learning usage patterns but my perception is so far the battery is longer lasting than my traded in S24U. Someone was saying on here that the phone can still be in learning phase even when the message has gone. I noticed on my 24 the battery life improved a lot after about 2 weeks

I'm finding the battery is a little up and down, but typically hitting 10h+ SoT so it's been good to me.

You have to remember that with every fresh and new device, as well as learning usage patterns to optimise battery, they also usually need software updating or simply all the apps installed. This process in itself is very power consuming and often uses more power than people realise, thus cutting into your normal daily usage patterns. Even a week in is too early to tell how well your device is doing in terms of battery usage, from a fresh install.
