What can I do if my new phone's battery is running out fast?
Battery consumption and life duration depend on several factors, including the duration of use of the device per day, the number of applications downloaded and used, and the connection to networks.
Galaxy phones use an artificial intelligence system built on battery efficiency control to suit your device usage patterns.
Notes:
• Before you try the recommendations below, check if your device and the apps are up to date with the latest version.
• If you feel the device overheating, do not use it for a while and wait for the device to cool down.
• Make sure the device is charged, it is always recommended to use the Samsung-approved main charger that comes with the device box.
• Using the old charger for the old device may save less energy 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 correspond to the charger charging current output.
• The fifth generation service may consume more battery power
