Activate Dark Mode

One of the first steps to start saving battery power is to activate the dark mode at the system level. With the introduction of the One UI, Samsung devices can also enjoy this feature that literally turns off most of the pixels on the AMOLED screen because of its dark theme.

To enable Dark Mode on new Galaxy S10devices, simply go to Settings > Display and activate Night Mode. Alternatively, you can also use the handy toggle in the notification dropdown that will allow you to activate and deactivate it much faster.

• Use Dark Mode to save battery power

Of course, the Dark Mode will ensure less eye strain, especially at night. That’s why Samsung calls it Night Mode and also allows you to automatically enable it at specific times.

Switch to FHD+ resolution

Galaxy S10 and S10+ give you the ability to set the display resolution from WQHD+ to FHD+ (this feature is not available on the smaller model as it only supports FHD+ resolution). This process will allow you to still enjoy the quality of Samsung’s AMOLED panel, but saving a lot of battery power.

To change the resolution, go to Settings > Display > Display Resolution and select FHD+ (2280×1080). Don’t forget to press the Apply button!

Disable the Always On Display

Designed to retire the notification LED, which is more useful in many ways, the Always On Display (AOD) is one of the coolest features of smartphones with AMOLED displays. However, we are well aware that, even if only to a small extent, it consumes precious energy.

To disable Always On Display on Galaxy S10 Series devices, go to Settings > Blocking Screen > Always On Display. In this screen you can choose to deactivate it, activate it for only 10 seconds with a touch on the screen, or only in a certain time period.
