What can I do if my new phone's battery is draining fast?

Last Update date : May 24. 2023

Battery consumption and life depend on several factors, including how long the device is used per day, the number of downloaded and used applications, operating system errors, and network connectivity.

Fifth-generation networks can consume the battery faster, but Galaxy phones use an artificial intelligence system based on controlling battery efficiency to suit your device usage patterns.

Notes:

·        Before you try the suggestions below, make sure that your device and the related apps are updated to the latest version.

·        If you feel the device overheating, do not use it for a while and wait for the device to cool down.

·        Ensure that the device or mobile phone is charged, it is always recommended to use the Samsung approved mains charger included in the box of the device.

·        Using the old charger for the old device may provide less power than charging to the new device. It may not charge or take longer to charge.

·        Note that different devices have different required charging currents and therefore must match the charger's charging current output.
