I have had my s24 that I smart switched from my s23. On the s23 I would never have to charge in the day, and often would only charge every second day, now with the s24 I have it on power saver permanently and never make it through the day. The difference is massive and horrible see attached images . It wad so nice on the s23 to finally never worry about charge but now with the s24 I have to take power banks with me.

Hi @Phixll
I am assuming that you have had your phone for over two weeks. Is that assumption correct?
Battery performance is a tricky one because it depends on usage. However, I have felt that the battery performance is not as good as my S22 Ultra. After almost two year of use the I was charging the phone every two days or more.
I have not have to charge the S24 Ultra twice in a day, but I have to charge it every day and this not with heavy use.
I hope that this is just optimisation and it will behave similar to previous S Ultras after a few firmware updates.

Hi all apps are updated, and the primary apps using power are the normal apps I used on the s23, since changing over I have removed so many more apps and always have power saver on with no luck, it is a massive difference and very sad ro live off power banks when the phone I had was far superior. My friend got the same phone at the same phone and same issue, they only got the phone because I told them how good the s23 was and assumed the s24 would be better

Let's hope it is an optimisation but at this stage I'm looking to pay the money to downgrade back to the 23 as I can't live on power banks

Hi @Glenntech I
I have updated firmware clear cache, cache partition, updated all apps and I have not managed to get similar battery performance to my S22 Ultra with similar settings. I do not have to charge it twice in a day, but definitely, the S24U is not matching the S22U.
There have been few posts about the battery being used more after the last firmware update.

Yes it doesn't come anywhere close to my s23, I never thought about charging at all, when I went to bed at night I'd have about 60% charge still, and now it'd never ending power saving mode and charging phone, it's horrible to have wasted money to have something that is a major inconvenience to my life. I charge the phone in car, and have a power bank , the phone is only three weeks old,unacceptable
