Samsung Galaxy S8 does not have issues in battery life but if you still want to increase it there are few settings to prolong your single charge
Disable the Always-On Display
For this you follow the below steps
Disable Samsung’s Always-On Display (AOD) by opening
Settings > Lock screen and security > Always On Display.
With AOD turned off your phone’s screen will remain off while it is locked. This means you will need to press the home button to view the time.
High-def is good enough
Out of the box, the Galaxy S8 screen resolution is set to full high-definition. By using a lower resolution, the battery life improves. This except those who want to use every single pixel on the S8’s screen.
Though let’s be honest, you don’t truly need the super high res WQHD+ display when sending WhatsApp messages. It makes sense, however, to watch videos and play games with the full capabilities of Samsung’s display.
For everyday use leave the Galaxy S8 display set to FHD. Then you can save up high performance mode for when you are playing games or binge-watching There’s a dedicated tile to boost your device’s performance in the settings shade.
You can then go back to a less battery hungry mode at any time by using the same method to turn off high-performance mode.
Ditch auto-brightness
A staple of saving battery life is controlling the screen’s brightness yourself. Open the quick settings panel and then tap the small arrow next to the brightness slider.
Toggle the auto-adjust button to the Off position.
Keep screen timeout low
Limiting how long your display stays on after you have last interacted with the device is another tried and true method of increasing the battery life.
By default, the Galaxy S8 screen timeout is set to 15 seconds. Leave it there or increase to 30 seconds. Any longer than that and you are wasting battery.
Adjust screen timeout by Settings > Display > Screen timeout.
Put apps to sleep
Samsung added the option to manually put your apps to sleep. When an app is “sleeping,” it won’t run in the background and any push notifications to the app will be paused. The next time you open the app, it will wake up, with notifications and updates flowing once again.
To put an app to sleep you long-press on an app icon until a settings popup is shown and then Select Sleep from the list, then tap OK.
