OnePlus 15: How to Enable and Use Power Saving Modes

Accessing Power Saving Modes

• 💡 Swipe down from the top right corner of the OnePlus 15 screen to access the Quick Settings toggles.
• 📌 If the Power Saving Mode toggle is not visible, tap the pencil icon and then the plus icon to add it from the available toggles.
• ⚙️ To access the detailed power settings, long-press the Power Saving Mode toggle.

Understanding Power Saving Modes

• 📊 The device offers several modes: Balance Mode (default), Power Saving Mode (adds ~2 hours battery), High Performance Mode (increases speed, reduces battery life), and Super Power Saving Mode.
• ⚠️ The Super Power Saving Mode is discussed with sarcasm, noting its limited battery extension (around 3 hours) and significant restrictions, such as removing most apps from the home screen and limiting the notification bar.
• 📉 The speaker expresses that the Super Power Saving Mode on OnePlus phones is largely unimpressive and not very useful.

Enabling and Effects of Power Saving Mode

• ✅ To enable the standard Power Saving Mode, tap the toggle and confirm the pop-up, acknowledging that system performance will be reduced and some functions disabled.
• ⚡ When Power Saving Mode is active, the screen refresh rate is reduced to 60Hz from higher rates (e.g., 120Hz or 165Hz).
• ⏳ The screen-off timer is shortened, and Wi-Fi and mobile data may be turned off when the device goes into sleep mode, potentially delaying notifications.
• ↩️ To disable Power Saving Mode and revert all changes, simply tap the toggle again.
