S25 Ultra - Battery life update

[UNKNOWNUSERNAME]

Hey all! Me again with my S25 Ultras battery life, Sooo I get the phone is still in its learning stage, but 3 and a half hours screen on time using 70% battery is absolutely awful!! Is this to be expected for a brands banking new phone or should I be worried? Help a guy out!!

Isn't it great that Samsung created an app specifically designed to kill batteries...😂

My battery % drops every couple minutes. 1 day it's good. The next day it's trash. Hope samsung resolve with updates.

Oh absolutely in the same boat as you, they'd need to fix something because for a brand new phone this is awful

Should be a software update any day now. Will monitor after I've received it. If that doesn't work I'll do a factory reset without restoring anything and start fresh. 😊

yea I might have to do that aswell, Although the fact that has to be an option is a joke considering they've designed it to be "quick and simple". I'll update on my situation soon, as I wanna see if it improves before I start doing any resets

It takes a few weeks for things to settle in. My Screen-On-Time improved even after the initial analyzing period.

In Settings / Device Care / Battery / View details, you'll see the information that puts things in perspective.

Reset done, I'll keep you updated 👍

Seems ok so far. Will share my battery use at the end of the day 🔋

Same thing here ... Phone is one week old, and I'm barely getting 3h SoT... Thought it was Smart Switch so I already resetted once without much change. As you can see on the screenschot, there's no app that's massively draining the battery. Starting to lose hope...

Here it is.
