Samsung Galaxy S23 is a great phone with a lot to offer, but one of the biggest concerns for many users is battery life. While the S23 has a large battery capacity, it can still run out of power quickly if you’re using it for heavy tasks like gaming or video streaming.
In this guide, we’ll share some tips on how to extend the battery life of your Samsung Galaxy S23. We’ll cover everything from simple settings changes to more advanced tweaks that can help you get the most out of your phone’s battery.
- Use power saving mode. Power saving mode reduces the performance and background activity of your phone to conserve battery power. You can enable power saving mode manually or set it to turn on automatically when your battery level reaches a certain percentage.
To enable power saving mode, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Battery and device care.
- Tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving mode.
- Tap Turn on now.
To set power saving mode to turn on automatically, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Battery and device care.
- Tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving mode.
- Tap Turn on automatically.
- Turn off features you don’t use. Things like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location services can drain your battery if you’re not using them. Turn them off when you don’t need them to save power.
To turn off features, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Connections.
- Tap the feature you want to turn off.
- Tap the Turn off switch.
- Lower your screen brightness. Your screen is one of the biggest battery drains on your phone. Lowering your screen brightness can make a big difference in battery life.
To lower your screen brightness, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Display.
- Drag the Brightness slider to the left.
- Reduce your screen timeout. The screen timeout is the amount of time it takes for your screen to turn off when you’re not using it. Reducing your screen timeout can help save battery life.
To reduce your screen timeout, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Display.
- Tap Screen timeout.
- Select a shorter screen timeout.
- Turn off animations. Animations can be visually appealing, but they can also drain your battery. Turning them off can help save power.
To turn off animations, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Advanced features.
- Tap Developer options.
- Scroll down and tap Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale.
- Set each animation scale to 0.5x or 1x.
- Use dark mode. Dark mode can help save battery life on OLED screens, which are the type of screen used on the Galaxy S23.
To enable dark mode, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Display.
- Tap Theme.
- Select Dark.
- Update your phone’s software. Software updates often include battery optimizations that can help improve battery life.
To update your phone’s software, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install.
- Keep your phone cool. Heat can damage your phone’s battery and reduce its lifespan. Avoid using your phone in hot environments and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight.
