Improve Your Galaxy Z Flip 3 Battery Life INSTANTLY! Tips & Tricks

This video is about how to improve the battery life on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G - Lots of Tips and Tricks! amzn.to/3msvfWq (Z Flip 3 Amazon Link *affiliate)
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 doesn't have the best batter life in the world, and it makes sense why it doesn't. The Z Flip 3 has a 3,300mAh battery, which is tremendously small for a flagship phone with the Snapdragon 888 processor in it, a 6.7" AMOLED 120hz display, stereo speakers, a second-screen on the outside of the phone, and more. However, in this video I will show you some tips and tricks to increase the battery life on your Z Flip 3 so you can spend more time enjoying your phone and less time worrying about the Z Flip 3 battery life.
The Z Flip 3 5G is finally here and this is my thoughts and impressions after using it for the first 24hrs. The Z Flip 3 is the kinda third generation flip phone, following in the foot steps of last years Z Flip 5G and Z Flip. Lots of things have changed with the Z Flip 3, like the increased refresh rate to 120hz, adding a second speaker for stereo sound, plus the new and improved larger second display on the outside for checking notifications and interacting with your phone, and the IPX8 water resistance. Lots of cool things to discuss here and unpack in the unboxing video.

My biggest boost to battery life was turning off these two location settings: Bluetooth scanning + Wifi scanning (Settings > Location > Improve Accuracy). Before that I lost 1 % in standby after about 15 min. After turning those off I loose 1% after about 40min standby

I have the pine green version of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and it overheats after about six minutes of video use at 1080P & 60FPS. I then tried 1080P 30FPS and the Z Flip3 still overheats and gets up to over 110 F in after about five to seven minutes of video recording inside without any warm studio lights. If Samsung cannot release an update to fix this, yeah, I am sending mine back in 48 hours.

[@PrinceJes]

@@gerrylee79 You can also download a 96hz apk rather than using 120 or 60hz

[@Jademoon25]

My eyes cannot detect the difference between 120 and 60 hz. I put my Flip 3 on 60 right out of the box. I turned on adaptive brightness, flipped the outer AOD all the way on the lowest light setting and transferred over my regular AOD on/off schedule (6:30am - 10:00pm), put a ton of apps to Deep Sleep, and put all apps except for a handful on optimize battery. I went for a walk this morning , had my Bluetooth buds in listening to Spotify (offline mode) and running Samsung Health to track my trip. My battery went from 100% when I left, down to 93% when I got home. I was out for an hour and 40 minutes and I never opened the phone. I was surprised, I actually expected it to drain more. I will test it out next weekend when I get my bicycle back from the shop. I typically go biking on Saturday mornings and I'm gone for around 3 hours and run Bluetooth, Spotify and my Bike Tracker app. On my Note 10+ I was getting home with only 70% battery. I am somehow expecting 40/50% for the Flip 3, and will be surprised if it does the same or better than the Note 10+. I've had this phone since Thursday and I absolutely love it. I just factory reset and packaged up my Note 10+ to ship back to Samsung for trade-in. The chip performance between the Note 10+ and the Flip 3 is massive. I don't notice the difference in refresh rate, but I DEFINATELY notice the difference in processing speed. It's worth the upgrade. I think some folks who go from newer (past year or less) flagship phones to the Flip 3 will feel disappointed, but for folks like myself who hold on to a phone for 2 years and then switches to the Flip 3, it's like a night and day difference in performance and quality. I'm also so done with massive phones I cant hold one-handed or fit in my pocket. The Flip 3 (lavender version) is so perfect for me personally, in every way. I showed it to my friends and coworkers and they were like "omg- that phone is so you it's not even funny". I'm a satisfied customer with this phone.

[@chocolatte8301]

Thank you for this comment!

[@Jademoon25]

So I got my bike back from the shop and had to take it out to try this afternoon. I ran my Galaxy Buds 2 on Bluetooth, Spotify (offline mode), and Bike Tracker app (w/ geolocation). I also keep my texting, calls, and emails running in the background all the time. I was out for about an hour and 10 minutes, my Z Flip 3 was at 100% battery when I went out. It was at 90% when I got home. I had also stopped to answer a couple of texts and take some pictures of wildlife. Honestly, so far it's the same battery life of my Note 10+. We'll see again how it goes for my 3 hour ride on Saturday. At this rate, it should be around 70% when I get home if I calculate 10% battery down per hour of my "bicycle mode" usage.

[@chocolatte8301]

You give me hope. I unplugged at 7am and I'm down to 26% at 4:45

[@Jademoon25]

@@chocolatte8301 Wow! Optimization will be important. I did a combo of manual optimizations and letting the battery learn my habits. Just yesterday, it finally started showing stats and stopped the learning. It tells me based on my optimization and usage, I should get a day and 4 hours of battery (28 hours). I can live with that. Its not the typical 3 days you get on a 4400mA battery, but anything 24 hours or more is not bad for a small battery, compact device.. I forgot to mention that I live in rural FL where I only get 5g in a single 2 mile radius of downtown- I turned the 5g radio off. I may try it again if I venture out to a metro area, but I don't need it.

Could you do a video and/or rundown on the battery savings you gain from the XDA app called Galaxy Hz Max? If any? It allows you to change the Adaptive rate from 120hz to 96hz, you barely notice the difference and you refresh the screen 24hz a second less. It also allows you to get Adaptive mode while you have Power Savings on.

[@HajileMalach]

About 7-12%, even running at 1hz it's about only a 40% battery savings, which is a lot but not as much as you would expect unfortunately

[@Alantris]

After almost a month with the Z Flip 3, my take on the battery life is, it is absolutely adequate. If you are at home or office, near a charger, and you are heavily using the device, you will get 4 hours of screen on time. When you are going out and about, the real life scenario is different and so not taxing to the battery. Most of the time the phone is folded and the main screen is not in use. When in the car, calls are answered either via bluetooth or speaker phone, i dont answer text or anything while driving so the brief message in the cover screen is more than enough. The fact that it folds and dont use the main screen for every call and notification, it got me 13 - 14 hours from 100% which is plenty enough when i'm out and about. The lack of fast charging is what i missed most. If it has fast charging like the S20, it could easily do 100% in 45 minutes.

Turning 5G option and turn on battery saving mode helps mine to have battery life from 8am until 2am in the morning + turning off location accuracy too

Really love my zf3. I am having an issue with some of my apps that are set for 2 step verification when you are sent a secure code to your phone to continue logging in. I am not receiving the text. Has this come across your desk as an issue for others And thanks so much for the battery tips. My heart has been heavy as I witness how quickly the power was draining.

Nice review Tech Odyssey! I do really like my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3; however, it keeps overheating when I use it to film over gadget reviews. The same issue I had with the Moto Razr 5G that I tested during November 2020. I am going on Day 15 with the Z Flip3 and it looks as if it will be going back the Samsung HQ and I'll just return to the Samsung S21 for VLOGGING. Have you tried shooting a six-minute video and did your Flip3 overheat?

[@TechOdyssey]

I recorded a 35 minute 4k 60fps video with my Z Flip 3 and it only cit off because it reached the preset limit

[@peterskully7335]

Flip 3 is for personal us. It is not meant for professional work.

[@natalieduff82]

Turning down/off the vibration too, that helps I find.

Anything that limits or turns down features will help in some way

Hi! Is there any trick that I have to follow through on the first charging 🤔; how many hours? Should I use it with the battery it comes on industrial settings or I have to wait for charging it first and then using it or transferring my data ?

[@TECHNIKMM]

that is the weirdest question I have heard in a long time...none of this makes any difference to the battery

[@nickmastera]

I keep my Zflip 3 open when I am home all the time. So I avoid opening and closing. I close it only when I go out. But because mainly we can use most of the phone when he is open so I keep it open and just press the button from the right to lock it but 30 sec are set as well,

Good video, but I kept noticing that you pronounce "display" and "refresh" incorrectly accenting the first syllable instead of the second. Good info though.

[@SkanDogVids]

You earned a Subscriber I have watched a few of your Z Flip videos bc im on the edge of buying it. Had my Pixel 2 for four years, battery life is my number one concern. My Pixel 2 when it was bran new wad giving me 5 hours of SOT. I do NOT expect the Z Flip 3 to do it but you have layed out quite a few ways to make it better. I only play Pokemon Go and I didn't know limiting the CPU to 75% was possible I mainly watch KZbin and go on social media so I wouldn't need my CPU going pedal to the metal every second of everyday. If the regular Pixel 6 is too big for me which based on recent rumors/articles I think it will be I will be getting a Z Flip 3 and i want you to know that it will be thanks to you bc of your consistent follow up videos not just one main review. Keep up the good work

.... Well I've followed all your instructions on this video pal and from receiving my brand new exclusive Grey coloured Galaxy Z3 I actually managed to get from 1000% fully charged....... 3 days and 1 hour before dying in me that from Thursday afternoon approx 2pm to Sunday afternoon approx 3pm. Yes I have Wi-Fi on all day and use it at home and work and on that very first charge that included data transfer from the very beginning that alone used approx 29% of the battery? I've done a few calls and text messages etc and brow see the web too! Now on my 2 full charge I'm going to put turn the Battery Saver Mode to ON and see if that will make any difference instead of using all your tips and advice?! This was going to be a deal breaker for me I was hoping to get maybe 2 days of run time out of her it now I've just had literally just over 3 days it's Happy Days!! If I had to charge it every day it would of been straight back to Samsung ASAP! Coming from a Samsung M31 with a 6000 mAh battery I knew I would never get the same battery life but getting almost nearly 50% life for a.battery that's almost half the mAh of the M31 I definately just can't moan! Looks like the Galaxy Z3 is going to be my permanent new phone from now on pal!!

my problem with the energy saving mode is that you dont get your whatsapp massages on time so its a no go

[@idum01]

Don't forget to turn on "Protect Battery" under "More Battery Settings". This will greatly extend the life of your battery.

[@nikkiallaireee]

How does that help I tried doing it it says it will only charge up to 85%, I would love more information about this

[@idum01]

@@nikkiallaireee Smartphone batteries lose more and more power over their lifetime. While a newly purchased phone can usually be used for a whole day after it has been put into operation, a significant reduction in battery life can be noticed after two to three years at the latest. That's because the battery loses a little bit of power with each charge cycle. Devices that are still connected to the charging cable when the battery is 100 percent full are particularly affected. A modern lithium-ion battery, which is installed in all common smartphones today, loses a little bit of its power in this situation. The effect is negligible - but if you use a phone for years, it will still be noticeable. Tip: Do not fully charge the battery Experts therefore advise not to fully charge the battery, but only to about 85 percent. Likewise, it is recommended not to let the battery run completely empty, but to charge it again at 15 percent at the latest. With some smartphones it is possible to prevent full charging to 100 percent even in the settings. For others, the smartphone has to be manually unplugged each time for this energy-saving method. In addition, if you only use your smartphone for two to three years anyway, the battery-saving effect is usually so small that careful battery management is not worthwhile.
