I purchased S23 on april 3 2023 with UI 6.0, in Romania, and it lasted 3 days per charge. I traveled in England and updated to UI 6.1 there an it switched to 20 hours per charge! Now back in Romania, with UI 6.1, it lasts 3 days per charge. Why that software bug acts only in some countries?

I'm really happy with the battery life, I'm charging once per 3 days and I'm using phone really often, mainly just youtube and browsing

But i still find the S22 Ultra as big for my hands. So is the S23 Ultra. And S24 Ultra.

Hi, I am also a new member to the Samsung family and purchased my S23 just a week back. After reading all the comments in this forum I was very sceptical about 6.1 update. So, resisted the temptation and kept myself confined to 6.0 only during the first few days.
But, in some other fora as well as FB/X, found that many people gave positive feedback about this 6.1. Also, Samsung is releasing the update for 21/22 series now which was stopped due to some bugs. Finally, took the courage and updated my phone yesterday.
Honestly speaking, I have not faced a single problem till now. After almost a day's usage, I am getting SOT of around 6 hrs and still 30% of battery is left. And I have not done any factory reset yet. Hope there will not be any battery drain issue in future also.
Sharing with all as I have seen so many negative feedback about 6.1 update by many users. May be I am lucky with this one till now.

I spoke to an agent on the official Samsung website and told her about the problem my S23 has regarding the battery and overheating after One UI 6.1 and she told me that I have to take my S23 to a service center 😂😂😂 they don't want to admit that this update is causing problems with the s23 series.

I bought this phone by looking at so much positive reviews regarding battery life. However I am disappointed to see that I have to charge phone twice even with minimal usage i.e. no gaming or video recording. Phone came with one UI 6.1 pre installed 😤

Get an S22, S22+ or S23+ instead?
Get a midrange Redmi Note or Poco M or X series?
Get an old flagship like the OnePlus 10T?
Get an old Galaxy A35 or A54 instead?

Anonymous, 08 May 2024It will survive for 1.5days on heavy usage.Based on Samsung Forums people are not happy. Since the One UI 6.1 update Samsung has inadvertedly introduced a battery bug where it drains fast and doesn't even last the whole day.
Even if you do all known battery saving tips under the sun if a bug is present in the OS it doesn't give you that confidence is it?
