Samsung’s One UI 7 rollout, based on Android 15, hit the Galaxy S23 series recently, but some users are reporting higher battery drain, sparking chatter on Reddit and Samsung forums.
Samsung’s One UI 7, packed with a revamped UI and Galaxy AI features like Audio Eraser, initially faced a buggy rollout, paused briefly before resuming. Now, Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra owners are voicing concerns about battery life post-update. A Reddit user with an S23 griped about charging “multiple times a day” for light Reddit and YouTube use.
Yet, not everyone’s feeling the pinch. Some S23 users on Reddit and Samsung’s forums report no change or even better battery life compared to One UI 6. So, what’s up? Battery drain and heating issues after updates are nothing new for Android devices — even flagships. Major updates are believed to reset the device’s battery optimization, which learns your usage patterns—like app habits or screen time—over days.
This increased battery drain should resolve after a few weeks of use, as the system gradually relearns your usage patterns—such as app behavior and screen time—per Sammobile. In fact, this explanation is also no stranger to the frustrated users who have reached out to the company or have tried to find a solution on the internet.
It’s funny how a brand-new device starts learning your usage patterns right from boot — yet a year later, when you install the next big update, it suddenly needs another week to do the same. Will the Galaxy S23 series be able to recognize the patterns again and return to where it was in terms of battery life within a few weeks? Only time will tell.
Will the Galaxy S23 series be able to relearn those patterns and bounce back to its previous battery performance in a few weeks? Only time will tell.
