So What’s Up With the Samsung S23 Series Batteries?

Samsung Galaxy phones are where innovation meets functionality. Users should know the importance of understanding and optimizing their battery life of their phone. This guide is designed for Samsung Galaxy phone users, spanning various models, with specific examples from the powerful S23 series to illustrate key points.

We work on a lot of S23 series phones in our shop, and people bring in their phones with battery issues even though there are none at all. We test their battery and it works just fine, however we’re also able to see various stats of the phone, like what apps are draining your battery and even how bright you keep your screen on average. Most people don’t understand that the issues just stem from how they use their phone. These phones are very useful and innovative, but for each new feature that’s being actively utilized, the battery will drain all the faster.

Begin by assessing your battery health using these steps for your Samsung Galaxy phones:

1. Battery Usage Overview: Navigate to Settings > Device care > Battery to check app power consumption.
2. Screen-On Time: Examine your screen-on time under Settings > Device care > Battery > Screen.
3. Battery Usage Stats: Delve into detailed battery usage statistics to identify power-hungry applications.
