JAKARTA - Samsung has just released the One UI 7 update based on Android 15 for the Galaxy S23 series. Unfortunately, a number of users have complained about the battery running out quickly after updating. These complaints surfaced in various forums, including Reddit and the Samsung community, sparking heated discussions among users.
One UI 7 comes with new interfaces and Galaxy AI features like Audio Eraser, but its launch was temporarily halted due to bugs before finally restarting. Now, Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra users are starting to voice concerns about battery performance dropping drastically. One Reddit user revealed that he has to charge several times a day, even though he only uses lightweight applications such as Reddit and YouTube.
However, the experience of each user turns out to be different. Some Galaxy S23 users on Reddit and the Samsung forum admit that they have not experienced a battery decline, even feeling that their device battery is more durable than when they were still using One UI 6. This raises the question: What really happened?
Battery and excess heat problems after system updates are actually not new to Android devices, even for flagship classes though. Large updates like One UI 7 usually reset the battery optimization system, which has previously studied user usage patterns from frequently used applications to screen duration on. Once reset, the system takes a few days or even weeks to re-learn the user's new pattern.

According to Sammobile's report, this increase in power consumption is temporary and should improve within weeks of the system completing the learning process. This is also a general explanation that was conveyed to users who are disappointed and trying to find solutions on the internet.
Ironically, new devices are immediately able to learn the user's habits since it was turned on for the first time, but after one year, big updates actually make the system "forget" and have to start learning from scratch. Will the Galaxy S23 be able to re-identify the user's use pattern and restore battery performance to its original state? The answer still has to be awaited.
For now, users are advised to be patient and give the device time to adapt back. In some cases, clearing the system cache or restarting can help speed up the stabilization process. However, if the problem continues for more than two weeks, there could be another bug that requires Samsung's attention through additional updates.
