Samsung has brought improved battery protection features to the Galaxy S24 series, providing a variety of options to extend the battery life of the phone, especially when users often charge at night.
Prior to the One UI 6.1 update and the Galaxy S24 series, the “Battery Saver” feature was a simple switch that limited maximum charging to 85% when enabled.
The new battery protection function provides three modes:
- Basics: When the battery reaches 100%, charging will stop and will not resume until the battery reaches 95%.
- Maximum: Stop charging when battery power reaches 80%.
- Adaptive: This mode uses “Max” mode when you sleep and automatically switches to “Basic” mode before you get up.

Adaptive mode is very smart and practical, especially for users who sleep while their phone is charging. This mode predicts each user’s wake-up time based on their unique sleep patterns and starts charging the battery earlier accordingly.
