Turning on battery saver or low power mode usually limits background app activity and syncing, delays or stops app updates and notifications from non-essential apps, lowers screen brightness, disables location services, and more. On most Android phones, all of this happens with a single toggle. While brands like Google, OnePlus, and Xiaomi offer some amount of control over power-saving options, Samsung does things very differently, with more granular controls compared to any other Android phone maker.<\/p>\n<p>From One UI 3.0 through One UI 6, Samsung offered the same five power-saving toggles.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung introduced customizable power-saving options back in 2020 with the launch of One UI 3.0. Before that, Galaxy devices offered preset modes like \u201cPower Saving\u201d and \u201cUltra Power Saving,\u201d which applied a fixed set of changes to extend battery life. One UI 3.0 changed that by letting users toggle specific power-saving features on or off individually.<\/p>\n<p>Since these customizable options first appeared, they\u2019ve remained mostly unchanged. From One UI 3.0 through One UI 6, Samsung offered the same five toggles:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_-g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung Galaxy power saving 1\"  alt=\"Samsung Galaxy power saving 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-power-saving-1.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turn off Always On Display<\/li>\n<li>Limit CPU speed to 70%<\/li>\n<li>Decrease brightness by 10%<\/li>\n<li>Turn off 5G<\/li>\n<li>Limit apps and Home screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-7-3429831\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One UI 7<\/a>, that list has finally grown (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammyfans.com\/2025\/05\/15\/one-ui-7-0-has-new-power-saving-limits-for-samsung-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SammyFans<\/a>). One UI 7 introduces three new power-saving options that you can toggle based on your needs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set motion smoothness to standard: Reduces the screen refresh rate to save battery.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on Dark mode: Switches to a darker interface, which can lower power usage.<\/li>\n<li>Set screen timeout to 30 seconds: Turns off the display faster when idle to conserve energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find all these options by heading to <strong>Settings &gt; Battery and device care &gt; Battery &gt; Power saving mode<\/strong>. With these added options in One UI 7, you now have more flexibility to choose how you want to conserve power on your Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus tip: Adaptive power saving mode in One UI 7<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d rather not tweak individual settings, you can let your phone handle battery management by turning on Adaptive power saving in One UI 7. The option is a bit tucked away, so you\u2019ll need to go to the regular Power saving mode screen, then tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. From there, you\u2019ll see the Adaptive power saving toggle. Turn it on, and your phone will automatically adjust power-saving features based on your usage patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Maring \/ Android Authority Most smartphones come with a power-saving mode that, when enabled, tweaks system settings&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[547,14665,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-105357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-samsung-one-ui","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114515686625077593","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
