Galaxy A35: Tips to improve battery life between charges

You can try several tips to improve your Galaxy A35’s battery life between charges, but for the most part, you may want to reduce the amount of energy your screen consumes. A few key ways to do this are:

• Use dark mode: Access the quick toggle area and tap the moon toggle near the brightness slider.
• Turn off Always On Display: Settings > Lock screen and AOD > turn off Always On Display.
• Use a 60Hz refresh rate: Settings > Display > Motion smoothness > Standard.

Location services can also negatively impact your phone’s battery life between charges, and there’s an easy way to see and control which apps can access location services in the background.

You can limit app access to background location services by opening Settings > Location > App permissions. Check which apps are “allowed all the time” and limit access as desired.
