Does anyone else facing battery issues with new S22 Ultra models. I feel like with normal usage also I need to keep changing my phone. In my earlier galaxy phones with same usage I was getting around a day battery life. Now with new S22 Ultra its hard to even go half day. Battery just drains while phone is just sitting idle. Tried all optimization settings, reduced the display settings. It's still same.

Hey, so try to begin with a wipe cache partition first? That would be a great first step to begin. Hopefully it will fix it but otherwise we can go a bit deeper, if you agree.

Wiping Cache on a new device, isn't likely to do much, but it can't hurt. 

If you haven't already, I'd go to Device Care & Click on the Battery > Background Usage Limits & Click on Sleeping Apps and Click on the "+" and add apps that you don't use often as well as apps that are consuming the most battery (you can see which apps those are from "Battery Usage". There's going to be some System apps that you can't "put to sleep".

Apps that you almost never use can be added to "Deep Sleeping Apps" the same way. Click on Deep Sleeping & the "+".

If you're really determined to reduce battery consumption, you can Toggle ON "power Saving", and one step further, go to Settings > Apps & click on the apps one by one & Click on "Battery" in each app & select either "Optimized" or "Restricted" > Restricted settings may cause the app to not work as desired & there may also be delays in getting Notifications from the app.

I just read an article mentioning that a lot of people are complaining about battery issues with the S22 Ultra.

That seems to happen with just about every new device. Pretty sure that the same was said when the S20 Ultra was released, which is the device that I have. 

I think that it's a combination of set up, apps & user's expectations. 

Ever since I've been running Stock Unrooted Samsung devices, I ALWAYS Boot into to Recovery after every Security Patch Update & I ALWAYS Factory Reset after EVERY Android version update. Never had any issues & the battery life has always been decent.

Can you show me your screen on time? My S22 Ultra can't keep up more than 6h screen on time on full charge
Galaxy S
Yes less than 6 hours. Only 3hr 50min. But I should have no problem on 6hr screen time. 43% used for amost 4 hrs, go after 6 hours should have at least 30% and above in my usage habbit.Screenshot_20220518-094353_Digital Wellbeing.jpg
