Battery Life and
Performance
Optimisation
Battery life can be affected by various factors such as device settings, environment and usage patterns. Understand these factors to use your 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 optimise 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.
