I do indeed. In actual fact with the load shedding coming back I now leave my Galaxy Note8 on Medium Power Saving most of the time just to ensure that I don't get caught out and the phone lasts me longer than I need it to.

It does indeed make a difference, especially in Stand By, where the phone barely takes any power. The other day while on conference my phone sat at 86% for about an hour and a half as I had left it in Medium Power Saving. It had enough juice to get me through 5hours of being at the Airport, a flight delay, then listening to music for 2hours in the flight and then enough for me to watch 2 episodes of my series when I finally got to bed at home.

My phone's battery is enough to get through a full 2 days and still have 30% left. That is without battery saving. Wifi, BT and location on although wifi mostly unavailable throughout the day.

Over the weekend it sits on the lounge table. Wifi, BT and location on. Uses no more than 20% between Sat morning and Sunday evening.
