The brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 + are already reaching the different markets. Without going any further, those who wish can now get the first units in Spain.
The new devices improve on their predecessors in every way, betting on even larger screens, capable of curving to both sides. But this is not all. Because the equipment comes equipped with the famous iris sensor. The same one that we already tested on board the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
In the battery section, the improvements are also evident. Both have fast and wireless charging systems. The first, the Samsung Galaxy S8, enjoys a lithium-ion battery with 3,000 milliamps capacity and can offer us a performance of 8 hours and 22 minutes of autonomy. The Samsung Galaxy S8 +, for its part, exceeds 3,500 milliamps and can offer 8 hours of power at full speed.
But what can we do to make the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + battery last longer ? Here are 7 tricks that can get you out of more than one trouble.
7 tricks to improve the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +
Improving the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + is not that difficult. Lets start by the beginning.
1. Use a dark wallpaper. You already know that both teams have a Super AMOLED screen. This means that to get the targets, the panel has to work (and spend) more. Instead, black colors are already made by default. If you want to save battery, choose a dark wallpaper.
2. Lower the screen brightness. It is one of the crucial factors: the brightness of the screen. Samsung usually lowers the brightness by default when the phone is low on battery. However, during normal use the brightness level will always be up to you. Reduce it until it is acceptable.
3. Turn off the Bluetooth and WiFi tracker. You already know that it is not necessary to search for compatible WiFi networks and Bluetooth connections when you do not need it. If you already have a connection or simply do not have the slightest intention of accessing any of these networks, you can deactivate the tracker occasionally or activate it only when you need it.
4. Make the screen turn off sooner. The screen of your Samsung Galaxy S8 does not need to stay on for too long, if you decide to park the phone on the table for a few moments. In fact, you can reduce this time to continue saving battery that is consumed unnecessarily.
5. Take advantage of the Always On Display feature. We already know it. It is a tool that allows us to see pending notifications without having to unlock the phone. Now, in addition, this screen is customizable. Even with your own photos and favorite colors.
6. Check the battery monitor for the apps. This will help you to always keep in mind which applications use more energy and which others do not. This indicator will guide you on how to use your phone, but it will also give you clues about which apps you should install: firstly, because you don't use them; second because they spend too much.
7. Lower the screen resolution. The higher resolution the screen has, the more power it will consume. If when you do not see multimedia content or play you want to download it, your battery will appreciate it. The options you have are the following: HD + (1480 x 720), FHD + (2220 x 1080) and WQHD + (2960 x 1440). As soon as you reduce it, you will notice a lower consumption.
