How to view battery usage figures on your Galaxy S20

The Galaxy S20 has a generous 4,000mAh battery that lasts all day, but if you're curious about seeing just what services are using up the battery, you can do so from the phone's settings. You'll be able to see detailed usage statistics, and a list of all the apps that are consuming battery cycles, which is important when that errant app running in the background starts draining your battery.

The Galaxy S20 gives you detailed information on what apps are consuming the battery, and you also get to see screen-on-time for the last seven days. The screen-on data is particularly useful because you get to see just how much you used your phone broken down into two-hour increments. It also shows you what apps you've used in that time, and for how long.

In addition to viewing battery usage figures, you get the option to put misbehaving apps to sleep so they don't continually drain battery in the background. The Galaxy S20 comes with all the tools you need to monitor battery usage and make sure that there aren't any background services that are draining your battery, and that's always a good thing.
