S23U battery draining fast&device heats up

[HoshinoAiri]

Recently my device has been heating up(in battery guru says 37+ during charge) and only lasts for about 5min per 1% of battery. Got the phone since launch and I don't know if this is normal(I have dropped it on ground for several times but no cosmetic damage)

37°C during charge, is perfectly normal.

What is only lasting for about 5 minutes.. the temperature?

I think he means the 1% of battery lasts one 5mins

If that's what they mean (I think that you are right), it depends on what they are doing with the phone. 

If you are are actively using it, it recalculates the rate of percentage going down. If you leave the phone alone for a few minutes, the next time they check, they will see the percentage used (discharging speed), has been reduced. Again I think that it is perfectly normal.

Yeah that's about 1% lasts for around 5min during active use(social media, watching video).Also the phone sometimes heats up during normal usage(on normal performance mode, FHD+ and 120hz) to around 37-38.

Here's what battery guru says(with charger unplugged).At first I thought the motherboard is malfunctioning as I dropped several times while I was riding bike, which may damage something inside.

I just installed Battery Guru after I saw your post. 

Usage & your Settings can have an effect on the temperature.. ie: screen brightness, Display settings, ie: Motion Smoothness..60hz vs 120hz, Light or Dark Display, and apps running in the background... ie: Sleeping or constantly running apps.

I'm not saying that you didn't damage your phone with the drops, but it's not really obvious that there's a problem with it either.

My screen has been off for most of the time measured.

Galaxy S23 Ultra by the way.

Yeah I think heating may be caused by 5g on with bad signal in my apartment&120Hz on, but I'm just worried that if something is wrong.

You could download Geek Bench from the Play Store, run the tests and see how your device compares.. 

If it's performance is out of wack, you should see it happening with the test.

Turn off 120hz when you run the test.

I run geekbench 6 and here's the result
