If you own a Galaxy S24 or Z Fold 6, you might be noticing your phone’s battery dying much faster.
If you own one of Samsung’s latest flagship phones, you might want to keep a close eye on your battery.
The recent Android 15 update, which includes the new One UI 7 interface, is causing frustration among Samsung users.
Owners of high-end models like the Galaxy S24 and Z Fold 6 are reporting significant drops in battery life since installing the update.
Across forums like Reddit and Samsung’s own support site, users describe their phones draining much faster—even with no changes to usage habits.
My S24 Plus went from lasting all day to being flat by 6pm. This is completely unacceptable.
Some have gone from ending the day with 50% battery remaining to finding their devices nearly dead by bedtime, according to reports cited by Giga.

So far, Samsung has not issued a statement addressing the complaints.
Some users suggest clearing the app cache via recovery mode and allowing a few days for the system to stabilize.
While this has helped some, it’s not a universal fix.
Others say a factory reset is the only way to restore battery life—though that comes with the inconvenience of backing up and reinstalling everything.
It’s not unusual for major updates to temporarily impact performance or power usage, but the volume of complaints has surprised many.
One UI 7 reportedly went through multiple beta stages before its public release, but users now suspect that some bugs slipped through.
Users are now hoping Samsung will act quickly to roll out a corrective patch that addresses the battery performance problems.
