S23 Ultra Battery

[Barrie10]

Hi all, 

I keep seeing S23 Ultras with incredible SOT time but this is about as good as it gets for me.

Anyone have any tips?

OK @Barrie10  

Perhaps conduct a forum search and you'll find lots of battery tips as well as from the answers here in your thread.

You can report this to Samsung via your Samsung Members App too.

If necessary a Samsung Service Centre can assess your phone.

Don't use adaptive brightness, set it to above 30% (the lower your brightness the more battery your phone will use)

Make sure you are deep sleeping your apps

Dark mode saves some battery

Dropping your screen resolution saves you another 1 hour of battery

Looking at your screen on time analysis @Barrie10 I would start by clearing the cache on Samsung Internet and then making sure all your apps are up to date via the PlayStore and Galaxy store. Clearing the cache partition is definitely worth doing if you haven't done it after your last software update or have never done it before even. Have you always had the same kind of battery life you have now or has it dropped suddenly after a software update?. Either way, a future software update could rectify things for you. There should be a big software update this week (or the week after) actually which will be camera focused but will also have glitch bugs on board amongst other things. 👍

Try this on your apps, go to apps then choose your desired app, go to battery and choose either optimised or restricted, I use optimised on the apps I use more, and it then uses less battery or on some heavy apps I use restricted to save in battery both work 😀

What charger do you use?

I've had mine since launch and today I saw that I managed over 12hrs of SOT, with 5% left.
I only charge my S23 Ultra using the official 45W super fast charger.

For starters, go into battery settings and put Samsung Internet into one of the sleep categories, so when it's not being used it won't drain your battery.

Other than that, you should be getting at least 6-7 hours SOT as minimum. I'm getting around 7-9 hours with more than 24 hours used. That's with qhd at 120hz, plenty of widgets running and strong usage.

If your battery is problematic, I'd advise making seekimgwa replacement in case you have a faulty battery.
