Hi Emmy1989,

Just to add -- have you set your screen's refresh rate to 60Hz? The S22+ features a display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, which totally eats up battery the longer you use it. Might help to turn on adaptive refresh rate in the comments and see if that helps the battery a bit!

The battery life is actually a bit lower or the same than that of the S21 Plus because the Exynos 2200 has more performance improvments that would also draw more power, plus the 8 Gen 1 processor is a bit less power efficient than the 2021 Snapdragon 888 on Snapdragon variants. If not the potentially higher power drawing chip, it could be also the brighter screen. I recommend optimizing your device in the Battery and Device care.
