Long term S23 users, what is your battery experience?

[Ritwiksondhi]

Hi, this post is directed towards long term S23 users (12 months or above). I've been using S23 since March 2023 and the overall experience with the device has been good except the battery. Gradually the battery backup has dipped, I'm using the word gradually because in my case I don't think any update handicapped the battery suddenly but it happened over the last 16 months.

I'm not a heavy user, use my phone for light social media and calls, always connected to a stable wifi and yet my SOT is about 3hrs only, in initial days it used to 7 hrs. Now I have to find charger before the day ends. 

Please share how is the battery performing in your S23. And do you think it's a good idea to get the battery replaced? Samsung sells it for Rs. 2.5k, so not a big deal. I like the phone and don't mind using it for next couple of years.

I am also using since 7 month and got sot 5hr+ only on 80% charge so better for me i will say. I am multimedia user also.

Following a factory reset, the SOT on the device has improved considerably. Now I'm getting anywhere between 4-4.5hrs, and I'm able to use the device through out the day without getting the low battery anxiety.
