"Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you have without hindering the user experience."
"Most Samsung phones feature AMOLED displays, which can control individual pixels. So, when you use a dark theme or dark wallpaper, the part of the screen that needs to stay black won't turn on those pixels. This, in turn, reduces screen power usage and makes your battery last slightly longer. How to: Open the Settings app > Display. You'll get two cards for Light and Dark. Tap on the Dark option."
"This setting ideally comes activated out of the box, but some people turn it off because it's not always accurate. However, over the years, Samsung's ambient light sensor has improved in quality. Your Galaxy phone can reliably detect the lighting in your environment to automatically adjust the screen luminosity. This ensures your display is more efficient and isn't brighter than needed."
Galaxy flagship phones include many power-hungry features that users may not need daily. Multiple simple settings and habits can extend battery life without hindering the user experience. Enabling Dark Mode on AMOLED displays turns off pixels for black areas and reduces screen power usage. Activating Adaptive Brightness lets an improved ambient light sensor adjust screen luminosity automatically, preventing unnecessarily bright displays. The recommendations prioritize quality-of-life improvements rather than lowering screen resolution or refresh rate, preserving visual fidelity while maximizing handset efficiency.
