Has anyone else noticed S25 battery life is significantly worse recently? I usually charge my phone once a day, that's jumped to twice a day.

Yes. Absolutely. I can still with lighter use get through a day by the skin of my teeth with less than 15 percent spare but only a moderate day I'd have been at 25 to 30 percent before.

There's a new Google System Update... I've applied that to see if it helps.

Mine was updated to 1st February 2026. Was 56mb which is quite large for a Google Play Update. Normally they're only a few mb.

I'd say applying the latest Google Play system updates has helped battery life. I haven't been using my phone as much as usual on the weekend but the battery seems better.

Just got the March update. Android Security Patch Level 5th March 2026 (so 2nd month of patching  to 5th of month rather than 1st of month security level).  No other obvious  changes but the release notes arent properly up for NZ firmware  yet either as of typing.

Got a Google Play System Update weighing in at 65MB today (I manually check approx weekly if not prompted). 

After reboot it shows the Google Play System Update as March 1st 2026.  The same update on a A54 I have was 56MB (which is also on the March Samsung firmware). No noticeable changes on the phone from the march updates other than the date changes.
