the mobile network or Wi‑Fi.

Optimize Battery Life with Power Saver Mode
Turning Power saver mode on helps to increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone
features that drain the battery such as the CPU and display.
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar to open the Quick settings panel.
2. Touch below the Power saver tile to choose which phone features to conserve
power for.
Note: If Data connection is selected, your phone automatically disconnects from the mobile
network after 15 minutes when the screen is off and the data connection is idle (no download
activity, streaming, or data usage). It reconnects and then disconnects periodically when the
data connection is idle to save battery power.
3. Touch the On/Off switch next to Power saver to turn Power saver mode on or off.
