Best Wallpapers for AMOLED Battery Saving
Dark and true black wallpapers designed for OLED and AMOLED screens. Black pixels are physically turned off, reducing power draw and extending battery life without compromising style.
AMOLED and OLED screens produce light at the pixel level — each pixel is its own tiny light source. When a pixel displays pure black (#000000), it turns completely off and draws zero power. This means dark wallpapers with large black areas directly reduce your phone's battery consumption.
The battery savings depend on how much of the screen is truly black. A wallpaper that's 70% pure black will save significantly more battery than one that's dark gray. For maximum savings, choose wallpapers with true black backgrounds and minimal accent elements.
Tip: Pair AMOLED wallpapers with dark icon pack variants like Ares Black, Lena Dark, or Caelus for a fully dark setup that maximizes battery savings while looking cohesive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dark wallpapers really save battery?
Yes, on OLED and AMOLED screens. Pure black pixels are completely turned off and use zero power. On LCD screens, there is no battery benefit since the backlight stays on regardless of what's displayed.
What's the difference between dark and true black wallpapers?
True black uses pure #000000 hex color, which turns off OLED pixels entirely. Dark wallpapers use dark grays or colors that still emit some light. True black saves the most battery, but dark wallpapers still save more than bright ones.
Which phones have AMOLED screens?
Most flagship phones use OLED/AMOLED displays including all Samsung Galaxy S and A series, Google Pixel phones, iPhones (X and later), and most OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Oppo flagships. Budget phones with LCD screens won't benefit from dark wallpapers for battery savings.
