- Many Samsung Galaxy users continue to report noticeable battery drain issues since updating to stable One UI 7.
- These battery complaints have persisted beyond the typical post-update adjustment period for devices like the Galaxy S24 series and even the Galaxy Fold lineup.
One UI 7 has been a whirlpool of emotions for Galaxy fans, but it’s all water under the bridge if the update delivers. Many users are largely happy with the new Android 15-based update, especially after they fixed the split design for the quick settings and notification panel and the missing lock screen notification icons. However, with the update now settled firmly, we’re now spotting a lot of complaints related to battery drain on the new One UI 7 update.
Battery drain is usually one of the biggest complaints whenever a new update drops, but the initial high drain is almost guaranteed as your phone sets things up. Even within the first week or so, battery drain reports don’t hold as much evidentiary value, as users often use their phone more, especially if there are good visual or functionality changes. But it’s been a while since One UI 7 began rolling out globally in the stable branch, and battery drain reports can now be taken much more seriously.
