Best Battery Saving Tips for Samsung Devices [One UI 6/7]

samsung one ui 7 battery saving tips - 1

It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned battery saving tips for your Samsung device running One UI 7/One UI 6 and then see which one [or their combinations] spells out success for you. So with that in mind, let’s get started.

NOTE: There are some tips, like disabling Fast Charging and Wireless Charging also help improve the overall battery health. But there’s no overall concrete evidence regarding the same. So we haven’t included it here. If you want, you may disbale them from Settings > Battery.

Switch to Light Performance Profile

Instead of always using your device at the Standard Performance, you can use it at the Light mode, which gives more weightage to Battery Saving than device performance. Here’s how it can be done [NOTE: if you are doing some resource-heavy tasks or playing resource-intensive games, then it’s better you skip this tweak].

NOTE: This feature might not be there on all Samsung devices.
  1. Head over to Settings > Device Care > Performance Profile.
  2. Then, switch over to Light Performance from the Standard.

Set Refresh Rate to 60Hz

While a high refresh rate like 90 or 120Hz gives you a smoother usage experience but it also takes a toll on your device’s battery. So if you aren’t doing any resource hogging task, then it’s better to lower than this rate to 60Hz. Here’s how it can be done:

  1. Head over to Settings > Display > Motion Smoothness.
  2. Now change it to Standard from High and see the result.

Enable Adaptive Brightness

Instead of using your device constantly at a higher brightness level, you can leave it up to the OS to adjust it according to the lighting conditions. Not only will it give rest to your eyes, but it will also lead to some battery saving. So, refer to the below steps to implement this tweak.

  1. Head over to Settings > Display > Brightness.
  2. Then, enable the Adaptive Brightness toggle.

Lower Screen Resolution

A higher resolution gives you more sharper and crisper image, but it also leads to faster battery drainage. So it’s better to maintain an equilibrium in this regard by opting for a medium level resolution that will also get the job done without depleting much battery juice.

NOTE: This feature might not be there on all Samsung devices.
  1. Go to Settings > Display > Screen Resolution.
  2. Now select FHD+ and hit Apply.
  3. If you have an FHD+ screen, you can choose HD+.

Switch to Dark Mode

Not only does Dark Mode save your eyes from Strain, it also has a positive impact on battery saving [when compared with the Light Mode]. Though the impact is not much, but every drop in the ocean counts! So, go to Settings > Display > Choose Dark and welcome abode the darkness!

Enable Adaptive Battery

While I haven’t noticed any major battery gain, but in theory, this feature “extends battery life based on your phone usage”. So let’s enable it and check out the result. [NOTE: On Samsung phones, this feature is already enabled by default.]

  1. Go to Settings > Battery > Background Usage Limits.
  2. Now tap on the overflow icon and select Adaptive Battery.
  3. Finally, enable the toggle next to the Adaptive Battery.

Reduce Screen Timeout

The longer the screen remains awake, the more battery it will consume [as directly proportionate as it could get!] Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the screen timeout duration on your Android device using the instructions given below.

  1. Go to Settings > Display > Screen Timeout.
  2. Now choose either 30 seconds or 15 seconds.

Put Unused Apps to Sleep

If you are not using an app on a regular basis, then it’s better to put it to sleep. Here’s how it can be done:

  1. Head over to Settings > Battery > Background usage limit.
  2. Enable ‘Put unused apps to sleep’ and go to Sleeping Apps.
  3. Finally, hit the plus sign and add your desired apps there.

Turn off AOD

Always On Display, as is evident from its name, keeps a bunch of pixels on to display information like date, time, and app icons from which you have received notifications. However, it goes without saying that this will lead to additional battery drainage as well. So if you are ready to axe this AOD in favor of a few additional battery drainages, then here’s what you need to do:

  1. Head over to the Settings > Lock screen and AOD.
  2. Now turn off the toggle next to Always On Display.

Enable Intelligence WiFi

Your device continuously scans for a new WiFi network, which drains quite a lot of battery. This is where the Intelligence WiFi feature comes into play. When enabled, it will only turn on WiFi at places where you use it most and will keep it disabled at all the other places.

Likewise, it also has a Power Saving Mode, which tends to reduce wireless activity when there’s no active data transmission taking place. So let’s enable both of these features and check out the result. Follow along. [NOTE: Wi-Fi power-saving mode is only available on some Samsung devices].

  1. Head over to Settings > Connections > WiFi.
  2. Now tap on the overflow icon at the top right.
  3. After that, select Intelligent WiFi and enable: Turn Wi-Fi on/off automatically Wi-Fi power-saving mode

Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth Scanning

Apps tend to use WiFi and Bluetooth in the background for a more accurate location detection, which in turn leads to the draining of the battery juice. So let’s put a stop to this by turning off both these features, as explained below:

  1. Head over to Settings > Location > Location services.
  2. After that, turn off the toggle next to Wi-Fi scanning.
  3. Likewise, also turn off the Bluetooth scanning toggle.

Disable Nearby Device Scanning

This feature helps you connect to nearby devices like Bluetooth. But to do that, it has to constantly keep on scanning the devices that are in its vicinity, which undoubtedly will lead to additional battery drainage. Therefore, let’s turn off this feature using the below given steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Connections > More connection settings.
  2. Next up, turn off the toggle next to Nearby Device Scanning.

Enable Auto Optimization

Samsung’s Auto-Optimization feature tends to fix issues related to high battery drainage and app crashes. It also tends to close the background running apps, fix storage issues, close apps that use too much memory, and remove malware from your device [or at least claims to]. Therefore, let’s enable this feature on our device right away:

  1. To begin with, head over to the Settings > Device Care > tap on Optimize Now.
  2. You may also make it auto-start at scheduled times via the Auto Restart option.

Turn on Power Saving Mode

This is one feature that most of you would already be aware of. Still, for the unaware, it will restrict most of the device features in the backend, thereby resulting in the saving of quite a lot of battery. This is perhaps the most efficient battery-saving technique among all the 20+ that we have listed in this guide.

  1. Go to Settings > Battery > Power Saving.
  2. After that, turn on the toggles next to: Turn off Always On Display. Limit CPU Speed to 70% Decrease brightness by 10%
  3. Finally, enable the Power Saving toggle.

Disable Background Data Usage

There are a few apps that constantly eat up data in the backend for their efficient functioning. However, this in turn leads to additional battery drainage as well. So you can put an end to this data leak and, in turn, bless yourself with some battery percentage. Here’s how: [ do note that doing so might result in some apps not functioning along the expected lines, such as being unable to send timely notifications. So keep this in mind before proceeding ahead].

  1. To begin with, head over to Settings > Connections > Data Usage.
  2. Now go to Mobile Data Usage > select the desired app from the list.
  3. After that, turn off its toggle next to Allow Background Data Usage.

Process Data only on this Device

Instead of letting the app process data online, it’s recommended that you do so locally on your device because the former will obviously lead to an astronomical amount of battery drain.

NOTE: This feature is only present on some Samsung devices.
  1. Head over to Settings > Galaxy AI > Advanced Intelligence.
  2. Then, enable the toggle next to Process Data only on Device.

Disable Send Diagnostic Data

This feature is used by apps to collect the device’s performance, usage, and stability and send it to third parties. Since this process is constantly running in the background, it results in a high amount of battery drainage. Therefore, you should consider turning it off using the steps given below:

  1. Go to Settings > Security and Privacy.
  2. Then, head to More Privacy Settings.
  3. Finally, turn off Send diagnostic data.

Delete Cache Data

If a lot of temporary data gets accumulated on your device, then it might lead to quite a few issues, with battery drain being a minor part as well. Therefore, it is recommended that you delete the cached data using the below given steps right away:

  1. Download and extract the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
  2. Now enable USB Debugging and connect your device to PC via USB.
  3. Then open Command Prompt inside the platform-tools and type in: adb reboot recovery
  4. After that, use the Volume Keys to highlight Wipe Cache Partitions.
  5. Finally, press the Power key to confirm and the cache stands wiped.

Debloat Your Device

Your Samsung device comes with quite a lot of unnecessary apps preinstalled. And the worst part? The OEM has made these apps as a system app, meaning they can’t be uninstalled via the normal route [aka the Settings menu]. But fret not! You can easily bid adieu to these apps via the ADB Shell command, as explained here: Debloat/Remove Bloatware from Samsung Devices via ADB .
