How to extend the life of your Samsung mobile battery

Last Update date : 2023-01-02

Can't figure out why your battery is always draining? The answer is right there on your Galaxy phone or tablet. You can monitor and extend its battery life or use a Power saving mode to get the most out of it. You'll never be stumped about your battery life again.

Note: Using Power saving mode can affect app and device performance. Some tasks and features may take longer to complete or update. Additionally, apps running in the background may not receive updates or send you notifications when Power saving mode is enabled.

Before you turn in for the night, change your phone's power mode. This will decrease your phone’s performance and save battery life.

1 Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Battery and device care.
2 Tap Battery, and then tap Power saving.
3 Tap the switches next to your desired settings or customizations.
4 Tap the switch at the top of the screen to activate Power saving mode

Note: You will not be able to adjust the settings once the mode is enabled. If you want to change any of the settings, you'll need to temporarily disable Power saving mode.

Sometimes your Galaxy just needs to take a timeout. If needed, you can shorten your phone's screen timeout to save battery life.

1 Navigate to and open Settings.
2 Tap Display.
3 Tap Screen timeout
4 Choose 15 seconds to save the most battery life.

Note: The screen timeout is set to 30 seconds by default.

You can reduce battery drain and stop embarrassing pocket dials by blocking accidental touches. That way, you won't have any more mishaps.

1 Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Display.
2 Swipe to the bottom of the screen.
3 Tap the switch next to Accidental touch protection to turn it on or off.
