I’m wondering what combination of features would use 25w on a phone. On flagship models the battery would last less than an hour at that consumption (and might even melt :P).
Your point still stands by the way, sensors take next to nothing in terms of power. I guess the point of the article is perhaps the processing of the signals is more efficient with this hybrid chip? Again though in real terms it’s a nothing-burger in terms of power consumption.
The highest power draw phone SoCs are about 16w at peak, but they can only sustain that for a very short time before thermal throttling, certainly not nearly an hour. If you were displaying a fully white image on the screen at full brightness at the same time 25W could be possible. But that’s not really a realistic scenario

Plenty of phones only charge at 25W which is why I picked the figure :P
More efficient sensors mean better battery life, which is more likely what this is about.
