Samsung 2026 Sustainability Report, released today, confirms that the Device eXperience Division has cut average power consumption by 34.4 percent across its representative product lines compared to 2019 baselines.

Six years is a long time in consumer electronics. Long enough that the phone in your pocket today is, by Samsung’s own numbers, doing a lot more work on meaningfully less energy than its predecessors from the 2019 era.

It’s the compounding result of incremental efficiency improvements baked into chipsets, displays, software power management, and component design over multiple product cycles.

If you’ve noticed your more recent Galaxy device running a bit cooler or lasting longer on a charge than older ones did, this is likely part of why.

As part of its goal to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, Samsung’s Device eXperience (DX) Division transitioned 94.8 percent of its total energy consumption to renewable energy as of the end of 2025.

The division also reduced power consumption by an average of 34.4 percent compared with 2019 by applying high-efficiency energy technologies to its representative product models.

The efficiency push doesn’t stop at the devices themselves. Samsung also crossed the 94.8 percent renewable energy threshold for its DX Division’s total energy consumption.

The division earned UL Solutions’ top Zero Waste to Landfill validation at every global manufacturing site and pushed recycled plastic content across products to 33.7 percent.

On the semiconductor side, the DS Division is targeting a 2.5x improvement in HBM energy efficiency and a 4x improvement in server SSDs by 2030.
