Samsung Galaxy S7: saving battery - the 5 best tips
Even if Samsung has installed a stronger battery in the Galaxy S7 than in the previous model, you should save battery so that you can use your cell phone for a long time. We have put together the 5 best tips for you below
Galaxy S7: Tips for saving battery
- Mobile data: Many apps use mobile data in the background. That costs a lot of energy. In the settings under "Data consumption" you get an overview of these apps. Tap the applications for which you want to update the background data. At the bottom you will find the "Limit app background data" option.
- Update: Check for updates and install them. Many updates contain functions that extend the battery life. Open the "Settings" app and select the "Device information" category below. You can now search for a "software update" here.
- Greenify: With the free app Greenify you can see which apps are running secretly in the background and are consuming a lot of battery. If necessary, you can pause these background processes and only start them again when they are needed.
- Delete apps: You should delete apps that you don't need. Services such as "S-Voice" or "Samsung Lock" are installed on every Samsung mobile phone and use up battery. Most of these are rarely used.
- Energy saving mode: When your battery reaches its limits, you can activate the energy saving mode. You can find it in the "Settings" under the "Battery" category. In addition to the energy-saving mode, you will also find the ultra mode here. This allows only the simplest functions and saves a lot of battery capacity in an emergency.
