Galaxy phones finally get a setting to turn off one of their most annoying features

When you’re phone’s battery is running low, turning down the brightness of the screen can help the battery last a little longer. Although lowering the brightness should be your choice, Galaxy phones take that choice away by automatically dimming the screen once the battery hits 5%. Of course, you can raise the brightness back to where it was, but it can be a little annoying having to undo something your phone did without your consent. But it looks like Samsung is changing this in the latest update to One UI 7.

In the latest version of One UI 7, Samsung is allowing you to remove this annoying behavior with the addition of a new setting option. When you go into the Battery setting, you’ll find a new toggle labeled “Auto dim screen.” Disabling the feature will prevent your Galaxy device from automatically dimming once it crosses that 5% threshold.
