Hi, I have been using Samsung Galaxy S22+ for about three weeks now and I noticed that the battery life of this device is poor. I know it has a smaller capacity battery but still I notice abnormal battery drains daily. The average idle drain(during nights when I absolutely don't use the phone) is 8%. I use mobile data instead of Wi-Fi 90% of the times and I use the phone only to browse FB, Insta, Youtube, WhatsApp and some streaming apps. I literally don 't do gaming and I have literally no games installed. And yet the phone is struggling to get an SOT of 5 hours. I have done everything suggested on various Samsung forums like turning off Adaptive battery, turning on battery saver, keeping brightness low, putting apps to deep sleep, like EVERYTHING. But there is no noticeable difference. My phone is also up to date. My query is is this mobile phone 's battery life supposed to be like this?(If yes, I couldn't imagine how it would be a couple of years later!) Or is there a defect in my device?
P.S. I have also raised a service request but they just sent a reply with "Steps to improve your battery life" and closed the request without even answering my actual query.
Try wiping cached files. Power off the device and try to turn on the device holding power button and volume up at the same time until you see the options.
