Update 2023/2024: Problem can be reproduced 100%. In my situation the problem ALWAYS occurs after 9 to 10 days of system runtime. Device has already been sent for service once. See page 3 for experience. The cause for the Problem is totally unclear. Strong indication that it affects the entire model series Read post
Hello community,
I've had a new Samsung Galaxy 14 smartphone for about 5 weeks and I noticed something strange about the battery consumption. Doesn't have to be a problem, but I find it very unusual. FIRST I would like to mention that I practically do not use the smartphone. It's on my desk 24/7 and I only use it a few minutes in the evening to log into my bank account. That's why I automatically activated the flight mode 23 hours a day using the Samsung routine/modes. The smartphone is set to maximum battery economy. I use my old smartphone for everyday use.
This is why the following picture bothering me now:
-Significantly increased consumption in the last few days, for no apparent reason. This is the second discharge process since I had the device, the behavior was not observed during the first discharge process from my point of view. Update: I have currently charged the device back to 80% and now the battery still seems to be discharging relatively quickly. Yesterday 11 p.m. 80%, today 3 p.m. 74%
-The room temperature was about 2-3 degrees warmer in the last few days, but that shouldn't explain the matter?
-There is NO app usage on the days.
-Android 13 with ONE UI Core-Version 5.1
Update: After Reeboot the Smartphone seems to have a normal battery drain again. I can only wait for it to happen again
Today is 15.04.2024
1.) "The Second Device 2/2"
As mentioned, I got access to ANOTHER A14.....
The second device seems to have exactly the same problem, after 9 to 10 days of system life the battery consumption "increases". Today the device still had 41% battery left, with a runtime of 300 hours 15 minutes. The device was in airplane mode/not used the entire time. See Screenshots.....
2.) "I briefly held a other smartphone in my Hands"
I also briefly have access to a Nokia g22. The results are in no way comparable/usable, especially for such a short period of time. But as a possible orientation.
Both devices were in airplane mode throughout the days, and the Samsung G14 obviously didn't have the battery drain at this time... not yet

| 14.04.2024 | 21:47 | 80% | 97% |
| 15.04.2024 | 5:30 | 80% | 97% |
See again next week, when my repaired A14 should have oder not have.... battery drain again.
