# Best Smart Launcher setup for battery-friendly phones

Smart Launcher is already optimized to be energy efficient and, as explained in the page below, battery drain is usually influenced by broader usage and environmental conditions.

If you want to push battery saving further, here are some practical suggestions:

1. Disable features you do not use. If you do not use an SL feature or widget, removing it can help both battery usage and home screen clarity.
2. If your device has an AMOLED display, prefer a black or very dark wallpaper and use dark mode as much as possible.
3. Avoid live wallpapers, which typically consume more energy than static wallpapers.
4. Avoid widgets that refresh too often.
5. Reduce update frequency for features like random wallpaper rotation and news feed refresh.

Finally, remember that most battery monitoring tools provide rough estimates. If you notice unusual behavior, observe it for a few days, then change one variable at a time to understand what actually affects your battery usage.
