Battery life on a smartphone is becoming an increasingly important aspect when choosing a new smartphone these days. The sad reality is that battery technology hasn’t seemed to advance at the same pace as everything else so we’ve been stuck with uber powerful phones that don’t last as long as we want. While there are some promising developments in the battery technology world, manufacturers have been working at better optimizing what they already have.
Take Samsung for example. Their latest flagship, the Galaxy S5 offers some of the best battery life of any phone to date! And just in case you need a little bit more juice to ensure you get through the day with a working phone, they have also brought on a new feature, a feature they are promoting in their latest ad. This feature, of course, is the Ultra Power Saving Mode. When enabled, the phone converts the screen from colour to grey scale and disables anything that’s not considered an essential.
Just how much extra juice does this get you? Well according to Samsung’s ad, you can get at least an extra 24 hours of standby time with just 10% of juice! Not too shabby right? While this isn’t a perfect solution to our battery woes, it’s a step in the right direction nonetheless.
