How to Enable the Best Power-Saving Modes on Your Samsung Galaxy

Samsung Galaxy devices offer a variety of power-saving modes designed to extend battery life without sacrificing essential functionality. In this guide, we will walk you through several methods to optimize your device’s power consumption for longer usage between charges.

1. Enable Power Saving Mode

Power Saving Mode reduces background activity and adjusts performance to conserve battery life.

Open the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy.
Tap Battery and device care (or simply Battery, depending on your model).
Select Power mode or Power saving mode from the menu.
Toggle on the Power Saving Mode option and adjust any available settings (such as limiting background data) to suit your needs.

2. Enable Ultra Power Saving Mode

Ultra Power Saving Mode minimizes functionality by limiting app usage and simplifying the interface for maximum battery conservation.

Open the Settings app and navigate to Battery or Device care > Battery.
Scroll down and tap on Ultra Power Saving Mode.
Read the on-screen instructions and tap to enable Ultra Power Saving Mode.
Follow the prompts to customize which essential apps you want to allow while in this mode.

3. Activate Adaptive Battery Mode

Adaptive Battery Mode leverages artificial intelligence to restrict battery usage of apps you rarely use, optimizing overall power consumption.

Launch the Settings app and go to Battery and device care (or Battery).
Look for Adaptive Battery or App power management within the battery settings.
Toggle on Adaptive Battery to let your device learn and adjust app power usage automatically.
Monitor your battery usage over time to see improvements in efficiency.

4. Optimize App Battery Usage

Optimizing individual app battery usage helps prevent background apps from draining your battery unnecessarily.

Open the Settings app and navigate to the Battery section.
Tap Battery usage to view a list of apps and their power consumption.
Select an app that uses a high percentage of battery and choose Optimize or Restrict background activity.
Repeat for other high-usage apps to ensure that only essential apps remain active in the background.

5. Adjust Display Settings for Energy Efficiency

Reducing screen brightness and modifying display settings can significantly lower battery consumption.

Open Settings and tap Display.
Adjust the brightness to a lower level or enable Auto-brightness to allow your device to adapt to ambient light.
Set a shorter screen timeout duration to minimize idle screen time.
If available, enable Dark Mode to reduce power usage, especially on devices with AMOLED displays.

6. Disable Unnecessary Connectivity Features

Turning off unused connectivity features helps reduce battery drain by limiting background power consumption.

Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings panel.
Toggle off features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, or GPS when they are not needed.
Alternatively, navigate to Settings > Connections to disable these features manually.
Consider activating Airplane Mode in areas with poor signal or when you do not require connectivity.
