A new feature on Samsung smartphones: How it will help save battery, possibly by slowing down the Internet connection
The news that has just surfaced about the code seen in One UI 8.5 suggests that Samsung is preparing an interesting innovation designed to save battery, even if it means a small decrease in the performance of the Internet connection. This new feature, named “Network Battery Saver“, is planned as an intelligent solution that will automatically activate when the smartphone is not actively used – for example, during the night hours when sleep is a priority.
How will Network Battery Saver work?
According to Android Authority, Network Battery Saver will use data from Personal Data Intelligence. Already available on Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, this system uses artificial intelligence (MI) to analyze your activities to provide personalized recommendations. The feature assumes that AI will assess your usage habits and determine the most optimal moments to limit network performance without interfering with your daily routine at all. Thus, while you are resting or simply not using your phone, it will intelligently save energy by reducing the intensity of Internet data traffic. It is like a sane service horse that knows when to rest so that it is ready to work at another time.
“Save battery power by limiting network performance when your phone isn’t in use – like when you’re sleeping.”
“Network Battery Saver uses Personal Data Intelligence to determine when to apply network performance limits, such as when you’re at home or when you’re not likely to use your phone. You can manage apps and services that use Personal Data Intelligence in Settings.”
“To use Network Battery Saver, enable Personal Data Intelligence in Settings.”
What else to expect in One UI 8.5 and the Galaxy S26 series?
Version One UI 8.5, which is likely to be based on Android 16 QPR2, promises not only this news, but also other interesting improvements. It is also predicted to offer AI report reports, which will give users an even better idea of what is going on. Also, speaking of future flagships, rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could receive a built-in privacy screen that will protect the contents of the device from prying eyes. It’s like a personal “guardian” for your digital world.
The official presentation is expected together with the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026. This new generation of devices is likely to see a reduction in the number of models to three, replacing the “Plus” version with the “ultra-thin” Galaxy S26 Edge. News will also be expected in the field of batteries – with new batteries and faster charging. The Galaxy S26 Pro boasts a 50MP main sensor, while the CoE OLED panels will be equipped with a new anti-glare coating. It is not excluded that one of the new Samsung smartphones could even receive three batteries at once, which would be a really impressive step in extending the device’s operating time.
