One UI 7 brings new energy-saving options for your Galaxy phones.
The update to One UI 7 has been rolling out for Samsung Galaxy phones since April.
In the course of this, there are also some new energy saving functions – the first innovations since the South Korean manufacturer has replaced the simplified energy saving mode with individual, independent functions in one UI 3.
The innovations at that time included the deactivation of the Always-on display or the limitation of the CPU speed. With the new options in the context of One UI 7, however, there are three new options:
Place the speed of movement on standard
This option forced the setting of the refresh rate to 60 Hz, even if a higher value was set in the device options. This was automatically activated in previous versions when the energy saving mode has been switched on – now you can decide for yourself whether you want to do without the more liquid animations.
Activate dark mode
This automatically activates the system-wide dark mode, which can save energy, especially with AMOLED displays, because black pixels consume less electricity.
Set screen timeout to 30 seconds
With this, your faithfulness of the name shortens the time until the automatic screen shutdown to 30 seconds. Curiously, this can be counterproductive if users have already set a shorter timeout of 15 seconds, as isolated users in Samsung-Forum explain.
The three new settings for saving energy can be found in addition to the options mentioned at the beginning as individual to -do.
To do this, you have to go to “battery and device maintenance” in the settings and open the “battery” and “energy saving mode” menus behind it.
- Another option is also hidden in the same screen that Samsung does not tell you directly. The three-point menu in the energy saving mode screen, which you can find in the top right leads, leads to a Toggle called “Adaptive energy saving”.
- If this function is active, your mobile phone automatically sets your cell phone, which should be activated by the energy saving features mentioned.
