Compared to OnePlus and Xiaomi, Samsung is not famous for the battery life on its flagships. Phones like the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 9 take a long time to charge. And the bad news is that these phones will run out of battery pretty soon, especially if you have all the fancy features turned on.
So, if you are facing poor battery life on your new Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, here are some tricks to help you fix it and extend its life.
Let’s take a look.
1. Activate Night Mode
One of the first things to do is turn on Night mode. You may already know that the entire Galaxy S10 series has a Super AMOLED display. Therefore, it makes sense to take advantage of it for longer battery life. And one of the best ways is to switch to system-wide dark mode.
Switching to night mode blackens the entire screen, thus saving energy in the long run. Contrary to that, Light Mode turns on the majority of pixels, which (you guessed it right) saves more water.
To enable night mode, go to Settings > Display and toggle the switch for Night Mode.
Alternatively, you can also get one of those amazing AMOLED wallpaper apps like Darkops AMOLED Wallpapers. Also, you can enable dark mode on compatible apps like Twitter, Chrome and Reddit, etc.
2. Switch to FHD . Display
Galaxy S10/S10 Plus lets you switch between FHD+ and WQHD+ screen resolutions. While the latter looks great (the colors are vibrant and the images are sharper), it’s best to switch to the FHD+ resolution for everyday use.
To change it, go to Display > Screen resolution, tap FHD+ and tap Apply.
And whenever you have to watch a movie or a TV show, you just switch it up to QHD+.
3. Disable Always On Display
Yes, that Always On (AOD) display may look great, but don’t forget that it takes power to keep running.
So, if you’re afraid that your S10/S10 Plus won’t be able to last all day, you can always disable the feature from the Quick Settings menu.
But the perfect middle ground is the Schedule feature. For example, if you don’t need the AOD monitor after business hours, you can schedule your time accordingly.
To do so, go to Lock Screen > Always On Display > Visibility and tap the third option. Set the schedule to your liking.
Alternatively, you can select Tap to show option, which will show the necessary options to you when you tap the screen. After 10 seconds of inactivity, it will return to normal mode.
Good tip:
4. Adaptive battery
Adaptive Battery is one of the newer features in the Galaxy S10 series. This module uses machine language to learn about your phone and app usage habits. This way it will disable any apps that are potentially draining the battery unnecessarily.
To enable this feature, go to Device Care > Battery.
Next, tap Power Mode and toggle the switch for Adaptive Battery. This mode does not start immediately. It will first learn your phone usage habits and depending on that, the standby time will improve over time.
To see how your phone classifies apps, first enable Developer options.
To do so, go to Settings > About phone > Software info and tap Build number seven times. Once enabled, search for Apps Standby.
By default, your phone categorizes apps into the following categories:
- Positive
- Frequent
- Working set
- Rare
- Never
If you want to manually change the categories, tap an app and select the category you think is best for that app.
5. Power mode
While you are on the Battery page, you may also want to check out the Power modes. The Galaxy S10 comes with three modes — High Performance, Medium Battery Saver, and Maximum Battery Saver. All in all, the settings are optimized to fit your needs. However, if you’re looking to get the most out of the battery, you can enable one of the modes.
Naturally, you will have to sacrifice some functionality in the process.
6. Optimize settings
The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus’ Battery Optimization feature kicks in automatically when you’re not using your phone. This automatically reduces screen brightness, screen timeout, and media volume.
To enable the feature, go to Settings > Device care > Battery and tap the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner. Select Settings and search for Optimization Settings. Toggle the switch to activate it. Simple.
Also, you may want to enable ‘Put unused apps to sleep’ and Adaptive Battery.
Pro tip:
7. Reduce screen timeout
Last but not least, check the Screen Timeout setting. If you’re someone who just puts your phone aside without locking it, the small screen-on time will help you from a security and battery perspective.
In general, a screen-on time of 30 seconds is enough. To make changes, go to Display settings and scroll down to see the Screen timeout option.
Hi, Longer Battery!
A phone with slightly poor battery life can really worry you. What makes matters worse is that if you don’t have a compatible charger, the Galaxy S10/S10 Plus will take a short while to recharge.
Also, when it comes to poor battery life, a lot depends on how long your screen stays on. For instance, I could barely get through a day with the screen on time for about four hours. Therefore, it makes sense to carry a portable power bank (like the Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger) as a backup.
