OnePlus Ace 3: How to Enable Power Saving Mode & Manual Battery Tips

Accessing Power Saving Modes

• 💡 Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings toggles on your OnePlus Ace 3.
• 📌 If the Power Saving or Super Power Saving Mode tiles are not visible, tap the three dots, select 'Edit tiles', and add them from the list of available toggles.

Understanding Power Saving Mode

• ⚠️ When enabled, the normal Power Saving Mode aims to extend battery life by disabling certain functions, though the phone's prompt is vague about specifics.
• ⚡ It typically turns off Wi-Fi and mobile data when the device is idle, which means you won't receive notifications from internet-dependent apps like Facebook or WhatsApp until you use the device again.

Super Power Saving Mode and Performance

• 🔋 The Super Power Saving Mode offers a more aggressive approach, but the video notes that on the OnePlus Ace 3, the battery extension is minimal, often only adding about 30 minutes.
• 📉 The speaker criticizes these built-in modes as largely ineffective, offering significantly less battery improvement compared to similar modes on other devices (e.g., Xiaomi).

Manual Battery Saving Strategies

• 📱 Lowering screen brightness is highlighted as the most impactful manual method, as the screen is the biggest power draw on a smartphone.
• 🔌 Turn off unnecessary radios like NFC, Location (GPS), Bluetooth, and potentially Wi-Fi or mobile data if not actively needed, to conserve more battery than the automatic modes provide.
• ✅ Combining these manual tips can often yield better battery life results than relying on the phone's built-in, underperforming power-saving features.
