Battery drain issue after Android 13?? - Android 14 is the solution!!

[Sid_Karna]

Yeah, that's right. I used to get 10 hours of SOT(Screen On Time) on Android 11 on my A52s5g. After the Android 12 update, it became 8 hours. Then, I became disappointed because a software update is supposed to improve the device and here I was having decreased battery life. Now, I realized how good was Android 11.

Recently, I updated to Android 13 and now the battery life further decreased to 5 hours from 8.

This made me realize how good was Android 12!!

So, keeping with the trend, I am pretty sure that Android 14 will completely destroy the battery life. And that will make us feel so good about the Android 13!!. So wait for Android 14 and don't update, you will feel so good about the Android 13 update then.😝😝

This is how Samsung does things - make older phones useless and pathetic with updates so that the newer releases will "appear" like massive improvements, degrade devices with each update so that the previous version of the software will look good, etc.

Samsung - here updates mean downgrade!

Nb: All mentioned SOTs are from 100 to 20 percent. 

The decrease in battery life is not due to the battery getting older because these reductions are drastic after the update. Like yesterday I was getting 8 hours and today after the update I am getting 5 hours kinda drastic.

Hmm, I too think that dual sim can't be handled by Samsung devices because of poor battery optimization these days.

I did a reset few months back and there was an improvement in battery life. But the thing is, there is serious lack of quality in the updates.

I don't like resetting every now and then, bro.

Hmmmmm... 🤔
.
In my A51 I am getting ~5 hrs SOT ... phone is around 1.2 years old
.
And I haven't updated to A13

[mHappiee]

What will happen if it update it to A13 ?
.
~2hr ? 😳

[Sid_Karna]

It changes from model to model. I have done some steps and now my battery life improved. I will be making a post on this.

Ooo... okay... 👍
.
Also, after any major/OS update it is advised to clear cache partition from Recovery mode... and after around a week OneUi gets optimized...
.
So do check your SOT after a week ... you updated to A13 on 13th Jan, right ?
