Samsung One UI 6.1 adds a smart feature to extend your battery life
Samsung introduced a new feature named Battery Protection with One UI 6.1 to extend the battery life of Galaxy devices. It allows you to choose how much you want to charge your phone and when to stop charging.
Keeping your device battery at a full 100% charge for a long time can reduce its lifespan. To prevent this, you can use the battery protection feature to limit the charge to 80% or 85% or to switch between different charging modes.

You can easily enable the Battery Protection feature on your One UI 6.1 device as it is found under your device’s Settings >> Battery >> Battery Protection. It offers three modes:
Basic
- This mode stops charging when your battery reaches 100% and resumes charging when it drops to 95%. This way, your battery stays close to full without overcharging.
Adaptive
- This mode uses AI to learn your phone usage patterns and optimize the charging schedule. It uses the Maximum mode while you’re asleep and switches to the Basic mode before you wake up. This way, your battery is fully charged when you need it, but not overcharged when you don’t.
Maximum
- This mode limits the charge to 80%, which is the optimal level for preserving the battery health. This mode is recommended for users who don’t need a full charge every day, or who have access to frequent charging.

Samsung acknowledges a current issue affecting the Sound Assistant‘s volume panel with One UI 6.1. Users expect a vertical volume panel that shows volumes for each app, similar to the models that haven’t received the One UI 6.1 model. This issue mainly affects the Galaxy S21 series after the One UI 6.1 update.
A Galaxy S21 Ultra user reported that the smartphone only offers a basic horizontal volume panel, lacking app-specific volume control. This function works well on Galaxy S10.
This problem seems to arise when users attempt to adjust the volume with the screen turned off. In such cases, the device defaults to the basic volume panel.
Samsung is aware of the Volume Panel issue after the One UI 6.1 update and promises to resolve it in future updates. The company apologizes for the inconvenience and assures users to improve their experience.
For a temporary solution, Samsung’s community moderator advises avoiding volume adjustment while the screen is off.
If the issue continues, users should report it by sending a log through the Samsung Members app’s ‘Send Error’ feature. This information will help Samsung in identifying and fixing the problem.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series may support 15W fast charging speed. The Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic support 10W charging speed. It looks like the company is bringing a major upgrade to the next iteration of its Galaxy smartwatch in terms of charging speed.
FCC listing of Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 reveals 15W fast charging support. This upgrade will roughly increase the charging speed by 50% compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 series. However, the Watch FE (Watch 4 2024) would feature just 5W charging speed.
It has been revealed that the Galaxy Watch 7 (SM-L305) supports 15W (5V x 3A) fast charging. As the Galaxy Watch 6 takes about 90 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%, the Galaxy Watch 7 should be charged from 0% to 100% in about an hour.
Charging speed always remains a big concern in Samsung’s Mobile business. The company still sticks with 45W fast charging in flagship phones. At the same time, Chinese Android manufacturers have introduced much faster charging technologies.
This year, Samsung may launch three variants of the Galaxy Watch 7 series. The smartwatches will likely debut Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch operating system. The developer preview of the Wear OS 5 has just begun by Google, with Stable update likely to release later this year.
