Galaxy S23 FE One UI update + battery life

[Gino76ph]

Apart from the slow fingerprint sensor, slow battery charging is the Galaxy S23 FE worth buying right now?

Another issue is the gawdawful battery drain. 10/10 reviews out there have unanimously criticised the phone in terms of it's rather poor battery optimizations, standby, endurance and every other tests you can think of. But, has there been any recent update that has truly improved it's  battery life? has the new One UI 6.1.1 helped at all?

And after doing all the well-known battery saving tips out there can anyone honestly say (a user or moderator or anyone) that a screen on time of 5 hours or more is possible? Or not?

Or better get a different phone then?

My S23FE charges from 10% to 100% in 1.5 hours with a 45w charger, so I wouldn't say it is slow.

But having said that I do battery maintenance like putting apps I don't use often into deep sleep and not run anything in the background and run device care regularly

I also do that on every single Samsung phone I have.

If i ask you now to out things into context..

How long does the phone drain for just 1%?

What screen on time would you say are getting?

Can you confidently say that you can still get 30% by 7pm? (with your normal everyday use)

And has there been any slight improvements after the software updates?

I have the same problem with my galaxy s23 5g, it always overheating when charging or using it,does not charge most of the time, full 100% charge battery drain in 2 hours used. I have taken it to samsung shop for them to check it. They keep saying because I am using it,is the reason why it over heating and draining battery power.

So, what settings have you turned off?

Are you gaming, streaming, vlogging, word processing or graphics designing in your phone?
