We have all been in situations in which we have about 10% battery life and you won’t be near a charger for several hours. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world isn’t it? Well Samsung has a solution for you called Ultra Power Saving Mode. This mode will allow you to conserve your battery by only running the essentials. In Ultra Power Saving Mode, you can still get over one day of life even if you only have 10% battery life.
How is that even possible? Once you go into this mode, you will get a much more simplified interface that only has access to the phone, texts, and the Browser. You won’t have access to games, the camera, and other apps. This mode doesn’t exist to give you the ability to play Angry Birds, it exists to make sure you get those important texts and/or phone calls. Ultra Power Saving Mode will also change your display to greyscale, turn off data when your display is off, and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The only drawback is there doesn’t appear to be a way to have this setting automatically kick in when your battery hits a certain amount of remaining life. HTC’s Extreme Power Saving Mode does offer this feature on the HTC One (M8), which is a nice touch. However, it’s likely that when you do have this problem, it means you are using your phone a lot, so it’s not a big deal to quickly toggle it in the Quick Settings (swiping down from the notification panel with two fingers).
Here’s a quick video showing you how Ultra Power Saving Mode works, and be sure to also check out our other Galaxy S 5 guides.
