I bought my S23 Ultra in May. The battery life was really good at first. I was able to get really good SOT, like around 8-9 hours on one charge.

Now the battery lasts a lot less than it did before. I now tend to only get 3-5 hours of SOT versus the 6-9 hours when I got the phone a few months ago.

I use social media apps like Twitter/X, Snapchat, YouTube, Discord, and some brief FB Lite and Instagram usage. I also use Relay for Reddit and Samsung Internet.

From what I heard, this kind of battery life drop seems normal for Samsung flagships after a few months.

I’m not sure if One Ui 6 has a solution for this, but I’m surprised at how bad the battery life has turned after only six months. My iPhone 13 Pro didn’t face that problem, and it had a much smaller battery size.

Is factory resetting the best idea in the meantime? I have Spectrum Mobile and they haven’t released One Ui 6 yet.

    I have my ultra from February and I have on ui6 even better Sot… Standard for me is sot 4,5h with 55% battery usage and 12h of screen off. On February was like 4h with the same usage. I use 85% limit and always charge phone when it reach 30%… I don’t see any issue with battery.
