Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) are included with the phone, for charging the battery.

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time. After the first charge, you can use the phone while charging.

Warning!

Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Non-Supported Batteries

Using a non-approved battery may damage your phone. Samsung phones do not support non-approved batteries.

Samsung charging accessories, such as the Wall/USB Charger, will only charge approved batteries.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the Status Bar shows battery power level. Before the battery becomes too low to operate, the empty battery icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone will power off.

Tip:

For settings you can configure to extend battery life, see “Power saving” on page 116.

For information about what’s using battery power, see “Battery” on page 118.
