The Samsung Galaxy S24 comes packed with top-of-the-line features and hardware leading to an enhanced smartphone experience. However, more powerful components put a toll on battery life. This is why Samsung has included various power saving modes allowing you to extend your S24’s battery when needed.
Activating Power Saving Mode reduces performance and limits background activity to save battery life. In this post, we will show you how to turn on the different power saving modes on your Galaxy S24 to start preserving extra juice when battery is running low. Let’s get started!
Access and Activate Power Saving Mode
The first step is to access the Battery settings menu to view and select a power saving mode. Here’s how:
- Open the Apps drawer and tap the “Settings” app icon to launch the Settings menu.
- Scroll down and select “Battery“.
- Next, choose “Power mode“.
This will display the different power saving mode options available on your S24 including:
- Optimized Mode: Default standard mode when power saving is not activated. Provides balance between performance and battery life.
- Medium Power Saving: Limits brightness, reduces background network usage and processing power to save battery.
- Maximum Power Saving: Further reduces performance and connectivity for maximum battery saving.
Customize Power Saving Settings
You can customize the various power saving modes to your preference by adjusting which features get limited or turned off. Here’s how to modify the settings:
- From the Battery settings, choose Power mode.
- Tap on any of the Power saving modes – Medium or Maximum.
- You can now customize options to control:
- Brightness limit (set percentage)
- CPU speed limit (reduces processor performance)
- Turn off 5G/4G connectivity
- Restrict background network usage
- Limit maximum apps allowed to run in background
- Switch refresh rate from high to standard
- Additional settings based on the mode
- After making your preferred adjustments, tap “Apply” to save the customizations.
- The customized power saving mode and settings will be activated.
Feel free to experiment with enabling or disabling certain options to find the right balance for your usage needs and battery preferences. Just remember – more restrictions result in greater power savings!
Automate Power Saving Mode
The Power saving modes don’t need to be managed manually. You can create automations to automatically turn them on in certain situations.
Here are some ways to automate Power saving on the Galaxy S24:
Set a Daily Schedule
You can configure a schedule for when to automatically enable or disable a power saving mode.
For example, have Medium power saving turn on overnight while you sleep. Or Maximum power saving for a few hours during the workday when you don’t need peak performance.
To schedule power saving:
- Go to Settings > Battery > Power mode
- Tap the mode you want to schedule then tap “Set schedule“
- Choose the time range when the mode should be activated.
- Tap “Set schedule” to save and automatically switch to this mode daily.
Location Based Activation
You can also trigger a power saving mode based on location using Bixby Routines.
For example, have Maximum power saving turn on when you are at the office to conserve battery since you may not need full capabilities while working indoor.
To set this up:
- Go to Settings > Advanced features > Bixby Routines
- Tap “Add routine” then set your location based trigger
- Choose the power saving mode to enable when you arrive at that location
- Tap “Save” to activate this automation.
Now Power saving mode will automatically turn on without having to manually toggle it!
