SAMSUNG has revealed some simple settings tweaks to instantly increase battery life.
They affect your screen, which can drain your battery a lot.
If your Samsung Galaxy phone just can’t make it through the day, it might be time to take a look at the settings.
This may be the case if you’ve had your phone for a while: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, like the ones inside smartphones, degrade naturally.
This means they will hold less charge compared to when they were new, which means you may need to make some changes to increase your phone’s battery life.
“Galaxy phones are designed to deliver high performance and excellent battery life,” explained Samsung.
“However, battery life depends on how it is used and different devices have different battery life.
“Long screen timeout settings or high screen brightness can substantially reduce battery life.
“To save battery, consider lowering the brightness setting, turning off auto-brightness, reducing the to sleep setting timeout and adjusting screen resolution and wallpaper.”
SAMSUNG DISPLAY SETTINGS TO IMPROVE BATTERY
An easy adjustment to make is to reduce the screen resolution.
By choosing a lower resolution, you can instantly save battery.
Just go to Settings > Display > Change screen resolution, choose one of the leftmost options and click Apply.
You should also try to reduce the screen timeout delay.
This determines how long the screen remains active after the last tap on it.
It’s set to 30 seconds by default, but you can reduce it to 15 seconds in Settings > Display > Screen Timeout.
Reducing screen brightness is a very simple way to improve battery life.
You can do this in Settings > Display or more quickly by swiping down from the top of the screen and using the quick panel slider.
And unless you’re in a very bright place, you may need to go to Settings > Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness to prevent this from being overridden.
If your Samsung phone has an AMOLED display (and many recent models do), then Dark Mode can also improve battery life.
