I've had a serious problem with rapid battery drain ever since I installed the most recent update (G781BXXS5HWD4/ G781BODM5HWCH / G781BXXU5HWCH, Security Patch 1 May 2023) on my device (S20 FE 5G). The battery life, which was formerly dependable, has drastically decreased, and I now need to recharge throughout the day. I can't use my device for extended periods of time without being connected to a power source, which is really aggravating. My work has been significantly impacted, and there have been a lot of unneeded disruptions as a result of this abrupt and extreme fall in battery efficiency. I'm hoping that a fix or patch will be made available very soon to address this problem and return the battery performance to what it was.
Even I am facing the same problem of battery drainage I am using Samsung galaxy s22 Plus.. And I have to connect my phone to the power source more often... And their charging technology is slow as well and it take almost an hour to charge every time I can exit to the power source... Hope Samsung will take this matter seriously and solve this in the upcoming updates
For the time being, use power saving mode to help get a better expected SOT. You can use modes to use Power Saving more smartly. Personally, I feel S-Series of Samsung gives a lower SOT than it's mid-ranger.
