How to Improve battery life on Galaxy S8 Plus (Increase Screen On Time)

I suggest you minimize the use of this kind of live wallpaper, as these live wallpaper keep running on background and drains so much of your battery. I suggest you use any black or blue wallpapers as they are still and not consume much battery. You can also on use your photo as a wallpaper on your device. You can change wallpaper by going to Settings > Personal > Wallpaper > Gallery > and then set your required Galaxy S8 Plus wallpaper.

4. Battery Saving Modes

The Galaxy S8 Plus also has some battery saving modes we will use. In fact, there are 2 totally different choices. Under Settings > Battery you’ll notice “Power Saving Mode” and “Ultra Power Saving Mode”. These both do similar nonetheless totally different things and can prolong battery life for the tip of the day when you actually need it, or in cases of emergencies and more.
