Galaxy S22 and S21 have heating, battery drain, and low power efficiency issues
Samsung’s most popular S series devices always brought top-notch features with high-end hardware specs, that’s why the customers are so much excited to buy them, these devices target a premium range of prices, which also creates high-quality performance expectations to the users, but due to some factors, the company is unable to fulfill that area.
Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 users facing several issues
March 25: A user posted on reddit “I’ve been having this problem with my galaxy s22 Plus since about August 2022 where it overheats considerably. I think it started right before oneui 4.5 was released. The back, sides and screen get really hot when I’m using it, even for simple browsing.”
March 25: In addition to the general battery draining and low power efficiency issues faced by some Galaxy S22 users after upgrading to the One UI 5.1 software, there have also been reports of specific battery concerns among the Galaxy S22 series. One such report came from a Verizon S22 Plus user who complained about “performance issues, battery drain, and overheating” after the last update. These issues can be a cause for concern as they may affect the device’s overall performance and cause inconvenience to the user. Therefore, it is essential to address these issues promptly and find solutions to ensure the smooth functioning of the device.
March 20: Another Galaxy S22 user, who switched from an iPhone a few months ago, has reported a concerning battery life issue. This user has the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S22 and is experiencing only 4 hours of screen on time, which is significantly lower than what is expected from a flagship smartphone
March 5: Another Galaxy S series model that has been facing battery concerns is the S21 Plus. One user has reported that despite using the phone with a 120Hz refresh rate, maximum 50% brightness, extra dim, and location and mobile data turned off, his phone’s 85% battery is offering just 4 hours of screen time. This is normal usage, but the phone is giving less battery life than expected. This issue is particularly concerning as the battery life is a crucial aspect of any smartphone, and users expect their devices to last throughout the day without requiring frequent recharging. It is, therefore, imperative to investigate the issue and find ways to improve battery life on the Galaxy S21 Plus.
February 27: Despite the much-awaited One UI 5.1 software upgrade, some Galaxy S22 smartphone users are still experiencing battery draining and low power efficiency issues. The problem seems to persist even when the screen is not in use, and the phone’s battery is getting consumed more quickly than before. Despite the many features and improvements that come with the One UI 5.1 upgrade, this issue has been a significant setback for users who rely heavily on their Galaxy S22 for day-to-day activities.
February 10: It is unfortunate to hear that two more Galaxy S22 users are reporting battery drain and overheating issues. A user mentioned that their Galaxy S22 heats up during general usage while using some social media apps, and the device is also delivering poor battery efficiency. This could indicate that there may be a problem with the device’s cooling system, or it could be related to some power-intensive apps running in the background. Another user reported that their S22’s battery drained by 13% without any usage in the meantime, suggesting that there may be a software issue that is causing the battery to drain faster than usual. The user also suspects that the Always On Display feature could be contributing to the battery drain, which is a possibility as this feature can consume a significant amount of power.
January 29: Several Samsung Galaxy owners are facing some issues regarding the battery performance of their devices, including Galaxy S21 and S22 series devices, some users, they are facing battery draining and heating issues since the beginning. Various users are reporting the issues on Reddit.
There are multiple users who claim that their devices are heating up during normal usage; for example, a user on Reddit says that he is only using the social media application, and the phone gets discharged very fast and heats up with normal usage.
January 24: However, this issue is commonly addressed on the Exynos variants devices, including Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series. The Qualcomm-powered device users haven’t reported such an issue yet. Due to these issues, Samsung is also planning to ditch its self-made SoC from Galaxy S Lineup and is all set to introduce its Galaxy S23 device, which will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with a higher clock speed.
January 20: There are thousands of users complaining about the battery drain and overheating issues of both of the smartphones, but Samsung hasn’t given any response to this; the company hasn’t delivered any fix yet. But as a responsible company, we expect Samsung to take some hard steps and resolve the users’ problems after they have bought the product by believing in the Samsung brand.
Finally, the Galaxy C series is officially back in existence as Samsung, without any noise, announced the Galaxy C55 model.
Samsung debuted its Galaxy C55 device without even receiving any notification, although at the moment, the device is listed only on Samsung China’s official website. The Galaxy C series is not the latest one, since the giant used to launch smartphones under the C series but suddenly the series vanished away, and now it’s back in the market with the Galaxy C55, initially in China.
Apart from the announcement of the device, Samsung has not revealed any details regarding price or availability.
The Galaxy C55 has now officially debuted in China, which means that it will soon go on sale and also be available in other regions. The info stated that the Galaxy C55 will be available for purchase in China for:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage = 1,999 Yuan (nearly $275).
- 12GB RAM + 256GB internal storage = 2,299 Yuan (nearly $320).
Samsung Galaxy C55 Key Specs:
The Samsung Galaxy C55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, FHD+ resolution, and 1000 nits peak brightness, plus a center-aligned punch-hole cutout and in-screen fingerprint scanner.
The brand powered it with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, a 5,000mAh battery, and the support of 45W wired fast charging. The triple-camera setup includes a 50MP primary, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 5MP macro. On the flip side, a 50MP selfie camera is housed.
Available in two color options: orange and fashion black, both of which arrive with a stitched vegan leather back. The smartphone measures 7.8mm in thickness and weighs around 180 grams. If the reports are to be believed, the Galaxy C55 will launch in China on April 28.
Samsung’s new Fan Edition, ‘Galaxy S24 FE’ Is driving in the developing phase and will soon take the floor.
Samsung Galaxy fans, especially those who prefer affordable models but have a high-end specialty, should get ready for the next iteration since the brand has already started working on the Galaxy S24 FE. On the other hand, the Giants are already close to debuting the next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July.
Although, at the moment, the exact details regarding this smartphone have not come into existence yet, a well-trusted source, GalaxyClub, a trusted source for Samsung leaks, unveiled that the Korean giant is cooking up a new smartphone codenamed R12.
We expect this codename is for the Galaxy S24 FE, since following the pattern of the previous FE model’s codename also appeared the same; for instance, S20 FE – R8, S21 FE – R9, S23 FE – R11, and now this S24 FE – R12.
The giant debuted the Galaxy S23 FE last year in October, so following that schedule, the Galaxy S24 FE could also arrive in October.
Apart from the codename, nothing more has been revealed regarding the phone, but it was previously reported that the Galaxy S24 FE could feature a bigger display as compared to its predecessor, which is expected to have a 6.7-inch panel. The giant could power the Galaxy S24 FE with the Exynos 2400 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Samsung users have been apprehensive about the green line issue since last year, as these minor lines pose a significant problem for Galaxy users. Finally, the brand has officially assured the users that it offers a free one-time display in some markets.
The green line issue has been haunting Galaxy users since last year, and finally, the brand has now assured to take a step for the users who are facing this issue. Samsung has officially responded that it will provide a free one-time display, but here’s the catch: only in some markets.
Samsung has now expanded its list of supported Galaxy devices to include the Galaxy S21 series and the Galaxy S22 series. The users who are reporting the green line issue have devices with Super AMOLED displays. Reports about the issue have resurfaced over the past couple of weeks, highlighting the fact that even more models suffer from it now.
The Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series are included in the eligible device list for replacing the display. Samsung India has been offering a free display replacement for affected Galaxy models since July 2023, and now the list is expanding to include the Galaxy S21 series and the Galaxy S22 series.
Similar to last year, this time Samsung is offering a free battery and kit replacement, but interested parties should hurry up since here’s the deadline, as reported by a well-known tipster, Tarun on X. Users who are facing the green line issue must book their appointments at a Samsung Service Center until April 30, 2024, to get a free replacement from the company.

Worry not. Nowadays many Android phones are getting better. If Samsung unable to solve over gearing issue, just change brand. Just remember to use android apps more and not relying on Samsung app is fine by me.
