The
new Samsung galaxy S8 phone is an advanced feature rich phones that is released
recently but even latest release by Samsung is also reported with poor battery
life. The poor battery life or quick battery drain is not reported by all users
and not from Day 1 after purchasing. But after a month of use the quick battery
drain is observed by many users.
Battery
started draining faster when the display is on. The battery drain in Samsung
galaxy s8 is reported too fast like 1% battery drain takes away like in 10
minutes.
It is good idea to check what is causing so
much battery drain in your phone. Goto- settings, device
maintenance and battery to see what apps are using
notable amounts of juice. If it’s an app, try to uninstall the app as it may be
keeping your phone busy while working in background.

For many Galaxy s8 users deactivating
location and history setting showed a good improvement in battery life. To do
that Goto->settings / location / Google Location Histoy.

2: Use black themes to save battery
Switching to a black theme can
save battery too, and wallpaper can still be adjusted. I keep all my menus /settings/text
messages with black backgrounds.

3: Make sure Auto brightness is always on
This is also one of the best
way to save battery while using screen display too much. The feature makes sure
that you have right amount of light on screen as per your surrounding environment.
Settings → Display → Auto Brightness
Fix 4: Lower the screen
resolution
One quick setting you can
change semi-permanently to improve battery life. Just go into settings, display and screen
resolution to see your options and stick at "FHD+". If
you've moved up to "WQHD+" for the best-looking screen possible, you
can scale it back down to save a little battery life.

apps like chrome weather which tends to work in background all the time. Check
