Battery Life Optimization
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 optimize 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.
