How to turn on Light Mode on your Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone
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.

Samsung offers a Super Steady feature to the camera app for Galaxy devices. This feature compensates for camera shake more powerfully than VDIS offered by Samsung smartphones. Here you can see in which situations you should use the Super steady feature to capture a perfect and high-resolution shake-free video through the Samsung Camera app.
During activities that cause camera shake and dynamic motion, still, pictures may be taken faster than when the VDIS option is active. Therefore, using Super Steady is effective in situations where the photographer moves a lot or in some situations where a steady shot cannot be captured due to the dynamic movement of the photographer.
However, this mode uses a large amount of correction margin to keep the camera shake extremely high. So in a still situation or in a low-light environment, the exposure time becomes longer to capture the light, and motion blur caused by camera movement is reduced.
Situations where Super Steady Feature is recommended.
- Running
- Situations where Dynamic movements occur
Situations to avoid using Super Steady
- When there is a little movement of the photographer
- When the light is dim
