Light vs Dark mode battery use

[Nyvideo]

Has anyone seen a big battery savings by using dark mode? I saw a couple of tips videos saying you could gain an extra hour of battery life by using dark mode but so far I see no big difference. Since usage varies day to day its hard to get an exact comparison but I'm curious others experiences. I really prefer light mode, but if dark will really make a big difference I'm still willing to try to use it.

Honestly I think I'm shooting myself in the foot on this one. I haven't tried it on 60Hz or the middle resolution. It is set to adaptive but I'm not seeing super long days unless I'm too busy to touch it. I'll have to take a closer look at it, I may be doing better than I think or I'm seeing 50 percent and jumping to conclusions.

I do is dark mode and I have mostly dark theming.

I've been down to 15-20 % around 10pm. I've only had it a week so it's hard to tell since a lot of configuring and playing the first few days. I'm trying light mode again for a day or 2 and will see. I hate dark mode for things like the Gmail app and a couple of others. It just hit me that if it does help run phone on dark mode and those apps in light. I guess depends how much it really helps.

I'm still running on adaptive. I just tried 60hz and scrolling isn't too bad. I need to get a family member to set it to one or tne other and not tell me and see what I notice. I'm on the Ultra so it's either adaptive or 60hz

I've noticed a pretty good savings on battery using the dark mode. Probably around 15%.

Certainly varies on daily use but I can get roughly 8 hours on dark and 6.5 on light. Maximum brightness, adaptive off. The battery is great on this device.

Dark mode mode hear also and yes there is battery savings using it compared to light mode .

I barely get like 5-6 hours of screen on time and about 8 hours of overall life before i reach 20% of juice left, while on dark mode WQHD+ and adaptive smoothness, on vivid. I used to get about 2 more hours with the S20 ultra.

I have to kinda question the 10 hours of SOT but I did fall asleep with YouTube running but anyway this was my most recent day at full resolution, adaptive refresh, adaptive brightness, and dark mode.

I'm on the 20 Note Ultra, but I just love dark mode! It's a lot easier on the eyes, and, in my opinion, looks better.

My phone was around 70% battery when it went on the charger late last night.

The vast majority of the usage came from poweramp, with some light texting and a phone call.
