On Android 12, September patch, I was getting 7 hours minimum SOT from 100 to 20 percent. After Android 13(December security patch), it has been reduced to 5 hours.
That's a drastic reduction of 2 freaking hours of screen on time!!
I already knew that they messed up the battery after the December update but never thought that it will be this worse!
Yes, I did send them feedback and error reports and received the mandatory copy-pasted BS reply.
Hoping to get the January update soon which MAY fix the issue. TBH I have lost faith in Samsung and wouldn't have updated if not for the 5g. Everything was smooth on Android 12, especially the battery life. A 2-hour plus reduction is not acceptable.
Nb: The reduction in battery life is happening when I am not on 5g. At this rate, I am afraid that the phone will have to be used as a landphone(full-time on charger)when I am on 5g.
Nb: THE ANDROID 12 ONES ARE FROM 85 TO 20 WHILE THE ANDROID 13 ONE IS FROM 100 TO 20.

It seems that I'm the only one, who has found it to be same with android 12. Of course, my use is different than most here. I use in Power saving mode all the time, bluetooth and GPS off till they are needed and then turned off again. I have noticed that battery do drain faster with continuous use, on standby I have noticed it to be very much like in previous android 12.
Recalibration of battery after major os upgrade, prudent and conservative use of performance mode as well as bluetooth and GPS, efficient use of routines, use of app tracker protection may prolong the battery backup. Of course, not all will agree of such use because of their use case so battery backup will always be different for everyone of us.
