Battery Life Optimization

Battery life can be affected by various factors, such as device settings, environment, and usage patterns. Understanding these factors and using the settings will help you use the battery more efficiently and for a longer period of time.

Factors Affecting
Battery Life

Environment

Battery consumption increases in areas with weak or

overlapping signals or with increased screen brightness

under strong sunlight or any other light source.

* Galaxy offers Adaptive Brightness to optimize screen visibility based on
the light
intensity of the environment.
Usage Pattern

Galaxy’s AMOLED Display has a high contrast ratio that will increase battery consumption. Increased screen brightness, longer intervals before
screen timeout, high-performance apps streaming high-resolution content, and location services or other
allowed services will also increase battery consumption.
