Do newer Samsung phones still have the ultra power saving mode? It used to convert the screen to greyscale, throttle CPU, disable all background services and apps, and useable only for phone calls, sms, and basic web browsing. It could last over a week.
- Ourgon 5y ago> It could last over a week Install LineageOS but skip "GAPPS" (Google apps), don't install nosy background-active spyware like Facebook and its ilk and you should be able to easily go beyond 1 week on a device with a 4500mAH battery with "light usage". in full colour, with normal functionality. Standby time of up to a month (I got 21 days on a Motorola Defy with a 1700mAh battery), "normal" charge interval of twice per week with normal use. I would not buy a device which needs daily charging.
- awiesenhofer 5y agoYes they still do, without the greyscale as standard nowadays though. Its pretty great, you can "promote" 1-2 normal apps to work in that mode too. I used it heavily on trips where I only needed the camera and gmaps anyway - my trusty S10 lasted for days thanks to it.
