  "account": "A noticeable decline in battery life has been reported by users of Samsung's Galaxy S24 and S25 models following the rollout of the One UI 9 update. Multiple Galaxy S25 owners have also expressed similar concerns after Samsung pushed the Android 17-based update. The update, which introduced features such as Call Brief and My FanCam, has been gradually delivered to the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 series.\n\nA Galaxy S24 Ultra user shared their experience on X, noting a steep drop in battery life, lasting just 3 hours and 15 minutes with 95% battery consumption, even with extensive social media use and mobile data usage throughout. Samsung attempted to rectify the issue by reaching out to this user for a service appointment at a nearby store. The update, while adding new features, has seemingly impacted the battery life of these devices.",
