Samsung’s One UI 7 update doesn’t seem to be treating some phones and users all that well. According to reports on Samsung’s forums and Reddit, One UI 7 is negatively impacting battery life on the Galaxy S24 and other updated devices… at least for some.
Samsung users report battery drain following One UI 7 update
Users have noticed that their battery life is worse compared to before they updated to One UI 7. They’re basing that on the battery capacity left at the end of the day. One user highlighted that he’s seeing a total drop from around 45% to as low as 20% by the end of the day on his Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphone.
That’s just one example, as a number of other users highlighted their experiences via the links we provided above. You can take a look, and you’ll see quite a few reports.
Why is this happening? Well, we can guess, but we cannot know for sure. One UI 7 is a huge update that brings an all-new version of Android. There are a ton of things that can go wrong below the hood.
One UI 7 rollout was halted due to issues, we don’t know if this is related to that
As a reminder, Samsung had to delay the One UI 7 rollout after it had already kicked it off due to some bugs. It continued a week after, though. This one could be related to that, even though Samsung did say the issues have been resolved. On the other hand, this could be a completely separate problem.
Samsung did not address this yet, as in acknowledged the issue. The company may not even do that, and simply roll out a fix via the next monthly security update. It remains to be seen. Let’s just hope that this battery drain issue will be resolved, as quite a few users have reported issues.
