Battery Drain

[Skyyz]

Hey, Guys just got my S23U delivered. Was just setting up and noticed out of box it came with 46% battery and it was draining way too fast. Is this normal. Just did basic setup even without entering Google or Samsung account, skipped all options. But battery went down to 38% in just 5-6 mins of setup. Is this normal on 1st bootup? Do you think after 1st full charge battery would show its mighty power? any suggestions or ideas what could be wrong?

Yes so basically for the first week it's gonna learn your usage pattern and then it'll work accordingly on how you use it

The first time you Boot a brand new device, it's also doing a bunch of stuff in the background.. So fully charge it & give it a few days.

It's called "Adaptive Battery" for a reason.

Yea, I'm on the same path as you. Its been over 3 days and its still 'Learning Battery Usage Pattern' stage.

Mine did the same thing, but a I'm a few weeks in now and the battery is very good. Just carry on as normal and see what happens.

Hi, during the first few days after purchase, you have usually activated many applications and set various features for initial device setting, and the frequency of background operation is optimised at this period.

So, you may feel the battery usage time is shorter compared to when you were using your previous device.

You can optimise your phone using the Device care feature to reduce battery consumption by closing unused apps and controlling abnormal battery usage.

Open Settings, and then select Battery and device care >> Tap Optimize now >> Device care automatically optimises your phone.

The more unused apps there are running in the background, the more power your battery will use. Background usage limits can be set to reduce battery consumption. 

Open Settings and then select Battery and device care >> Tap Battery >> Tap Background usage limits >> Set the app you want to control.
