Battery drain after One UI 6.1 update S23 Ultra

[czanek]

I'm experiencing a huge change in battery behaviour in my S23 Ultra after the One UI 6.1 update!

It's terrible! The battery life was excellent before the update, now - the phone barely survives a day, I have to charge it up during a day, it never happened before.

This has to be related to the update. I hope Samsung will fix this ASAP as this really cripples the phone!

If the fix won't happen, and some rumors turn out to be true (Samsung trying to push users to get a new gen phone) it'll be my last Samsung phone! I've paid so much money for the highest model only to have my battery life cut almost in half by a software update one year after! Insane.

Do you have a source link for this please?

Almost updated but thought I'd check the forums, just incase. Glad I did. Won't be updating till an official fix is released. Sod dealing with this malarkey. I traded in my s22 for the S23 due to battery woes.

You should always check the Sammobile.com site for any news on updates.

Installed the latest One UI 6.1 update April today, also disabled Advanced Features > Advanced Intelligence options - as to be frank these AI features are rubbish and of little use to me. Battery life is more important...

Battery still seems to drain quickly even when not used. 

I guess Samsung would like us to update to the S24 Ultra

Same here on my s23 ultra. Not a huge user. Lasted 2 days 13 hours before and 1 day 6h now!

Same problem with my s23 small. ***** Samsung, I did it again!

I am experiencing the same with my Galaxy S23. My battery drains after like just 3 hours, its terrible!

It's a thundering disgrace,  at this stage of technology you'd expect better from Sammy.  And they don't seem to be in too much of a hurry to fix it.

I have this too, and it is unacceptable. It is time for Apple, goodbye Samsung
