How to improve the battery life

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series regularly features among the best foldable phones. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the latest in the lineup, with an improved camera setup, good thermal management, and other upgrades. Although the phone has a bulky 4,000mAh battery, it may quickly run out of juice after prolonged streaming or gaming sessions. This guide shows you how to extend the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Turn on Battery protection on the Galaxy Z Flip 6

You can activate Battery protection to manage the battery charging cycles on the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Battery.
3. Choose Battery protection.

   

   

4. You’ll see three options: Basic, Adaptive, and Maximum.
5. Choose Maximum to prevent the battery from charging when the level goes beyond 80%.
6. In Basic mode, the phone stops charging when the battery has a 100% charge. It starts charging again when the battery level falls to 95%.
7. Choose Adaptive if you usually charge your phone overnight. It uses Maximum mode when you sleep. This mode recognizes your sleep patterns based on your phone usage and charges the battery fully an hour before your typical wake-up time.

Turn off Always On Display on the Galaxy Z Flip 6

The Always On Display (AOD) of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 shows details like the battery percentage, unread notification icons, date, and time. While this feature lets you view notifications without unlocking the phone, it reduces battery life. Here’s how to turn off AOD:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Lock screen.
3. Turn off the Always On Display toggle.

If you want to keep the Always On Display turned on, you can avoid some battery drain by erasing the background. It only displays the object or person while keeping the background dark.

3. Tap Always On Display.

   

   

4. Turn on the Erase background toggle.
5. Select When to show.
6. Choose Tap to show to turn on the display only after you tap it.

Activate dark mode on the Galaxy Z Flip 6

Since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has an AMOLED panel, turning on dark mode improves the battery life. Using a dark theme consumes less power as AMOLED displays can switch off individual pixels.

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Display.
3. Tap Dark.

   

   

Turn on Power saving mode

Activating Power saving mode helps prolong battery life by restricting a few functions.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Battery.
3. Turn on the Power saving toggle.

   

   

You can tweak the Power saving options by turning off the toggle. Select any of the following choices:

• Turn off Always On Display
• Limit CPU speed to 70%
• Decrease brightness by 10%
• Turn off 5G
• Limit apps and Home screen

You can activate Power saving mode from the quick settings menu. Look for the

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Device care.

   

3. Select Performance profile.
4. Select Light.

   

   

Turn off Nearby device scanning on the Galaxy Z Flip 6

If you turn on Nearby device scanning, your phone scans for nearby devices, such as Bluetooth speakers, smartwatches, and earbuds. It offers a convenient way to connect them to your phone. However, it may drain the battery. You can turn off Nearby device scanning after pairing your Bluetooth accessories.

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Connections.

3. Select Background usage limits.
