In Android Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy S4 there is no ultra-energy-saving mode, but you can adjust with a little trick that the screen is only displayed in monochrome colors. Monochrome means that all colors are in shades of gray or black and white. As a result, more energy is saved because the screen no longer needs to display colors. We show you now in this article how you can set the display to monochrome on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Open from the home screen the menu and then the settings. Now here you have to tap on the tab "Options". Then scroll down a bit until you get the developer options displayed. If this is not the case, then you must activate it first. This works as follows:
