f you do happen to have a day where you push the battery to its limits, you'll want to check out a new feature called Ultra Power Saving Mode. Turn it on, and the GS5's display shifts to black & white. You then have a new home screen with just the basics: phone, text messages, and web browser. You can also add a few other simple apps, like a calculator, Google+, or Samsung's chat app. All other unnecessary background processes are killed.

After switching into Ultra Power Saving Mode, you can take the tiniest smidge of battery life and turn it into hours (Samsung says 10 percent juice will stretch out to 24 hours). It makes sense, since your GS5, at that point, basically becomes a glorified feature phone. UPS Mode is perfect for those times when your battery is almost out of juice but you don't want to completely drop off the grid. It gives you just enough functionality to communicate with the world, but not enough to kill your battery.
