Firstly, I feel like the battery drains a lot quicker than my s22 did. I have power saver on, extra dim, low brightness, low color and not constantly on my phone but a full charge still doesn't last as long as I did on my previus phone. 
Secondly, I miss the small features such as not having to press 'OK' with a 4 digit pin. Being able to customize notification sounds for different apps. I also dont like that all my apps are just one page in the app screen instead swiping left to right to go through apps. I feel it gives off IPhone vibes, in my opinion.

1. I don't know how long you've had your phone, but you realize that the battery takes a few days to adapt to your usage patterns, as well as the first couple of weeks, you are busy tweaking the device and perhaps downloading and updating apps.  

2. The option to not press OK with a 4 digit pin is gone.  In order to have that feature, you must have a 6 digit pin, but if you are going to do that, you may as will just hit the "OK" as an extra tap, rather than 2 extra taps.  I honestly don't know why it's such a big deal, it's part of the pin - 1234ok.

3. You can customize your sounds for apps.  To do this, you must have notification categories turned on.  Settings/notifications/advanced settings/manage notification categories for all apps.  Once you slide it on, you can return to your app's notification settings, tap on notification categories and enable/disable the categories for which you want to be notified and select a sound for each category. If you would like the same sound for each category, just set the sound for the first category, and it will be the default for the app.

4. I understand you can switch the app screen back to the "pages" scroll, but at this time, if you do that the apps will not be in alphabetical order, however, you can arrange them into a custom order, or you will have to search for the app you are looking for.  You can also streamline it by creating folders, just as you can on your home screen, and group apps by category.

Give it a week or so with adaptive battery on. Mine got way better after a week.
