Samsung Galaxy S5 'Ultra Power Saving Mode' explained
The Samsung Galaxy S5 battery life would be the topic of heated debates in the next few weeks and months, but while most of you already know about the larger, 2800mAh battery that it packs, a neat new feature promises to do a lot for extreme battery savings.

Battery life overall has been improved in the S5, and it should last 10 hours of web browsing and 12 hours of video. It also has a user-removable battery, so you can put in a new one when you can’t reach the charger for days. But right now, take a look at our quick look at the new battery savings mode on the S5.
