One UI 7 Battery Patch for Samsung: Has Battery Life Improved for Users in Spain and Sweden?

Samsung released a One UI 7 battery patch to improve performance and standby time. This guide explores whether users in Spain and Sweden actually experienced better battery life on Galaxy S22, S22 Ultra, and A-series devices.

After installing the One UI 7 battery patch on my Galaxy S22 in Stockholm (Telia), I noticed a modest improvement in standby time. Friends in Spain using Movistar and Vodafone España reported mixed results — some devices saw significant gains, while others showed minimal change. Factors like carrier settings, app behavior, and device model play a role in how effective the patch is.
