Debuted with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, the Light mode is a function that improves the phone’s performance by adjusting its processing speed and ensures optimum battery consumption.

When operating in Light mode, your Samsung Galaxy S23 device uses less power compared to normal mode with no impact on usage. You can continue to browse the internet, and social media, make phone calls or play videos.

Apart from the Galaxy S23 series, the South Korean tech giant brought the Light mode feature to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldable phones. Notably, Light mode does not apply if any game app is running.

Using deep machine learning, the Galaxy S23’s Light mode prioritizes your battery life and cooling efficiency over processing speed. It enables your phone to use less energy in order to save battery life without affecting general use.

Using the Light mode feature, you can significantly extend the battery life of your Galaxy S23 smartphone, even without compromising performance, which becomes frustrating in battery saver mode.
