Samsung’s Nougat beta update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is currently on the roll for users who participated in the Galaxy beta program. And by the looks of things, it seems Samsung is coming up with a number of new features on the Nougat beta builds.

Among the new things, Galaxy S7 features performance mode setting that let’s you optimize your phones performance based on your activity. Plus, you can now also change screen resolution on Galaxy S7 Nougat beta builds.

Inside the display options and Performance mode setting, Samsung has included a very simple and convenient way to change display size of your phone. The new option let’s you switch screen resolution between the following options:

  • HD (1280 x 720)
  • FHD (1920 x 1080)
  • WQHD (2460 x 1440)

This is a first of its kind and is great for saving battery life and increasing performance of a device. Samsung has kept it real simple to switch between different screen resolutions. Check out the instructions below to see how it’s done (if you’re running Samsung’s Nougat firmware):

  1. Open Settings on your Galaxy S7.
  2. Select Display » Screen resolution.
  3. Move the slider to set your preffered display size between HD, FHD and WQHD.
  4. Select APPLY from the top-bar to set your changes.

All your currently running apps will force close because of the change in screen resolution. But should work fine when you re-open them.

Happy Androiding!
