KT announced that to commemorate the nationwide application of the country's first battery saving technology to all devices, it will hold the 'Battery SAVE Festival' from the 28th to May 25th in over 30 locations across the country where customers can experience the 'battery saving technology.'

On the 12th, KT unveiled a "battery saving technology" that can extend smartphone battery life by up to 45%. This technology maximizes battery life by optimizing the data transmission and reception cycle between the terminal and the base station, rather than physically increasing the smartphone's battery capacity.



KT stated that it has spent over two years working to increase battery life by up to 45% based on continuous YouTube playback with the Galaxy S8, build a network environment that does not compromise the quality of customers' data connections, and apply it to over a hundred types of devices.

KT planned the 'Battery SAVE Festival' to help customers easily understand and experience this battery saving technology. A pilot promotion was successfully completed at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd. Starting in Seoul on the 28th and continuing until May 25th, 'hotspot' experience events and surprise 'guerrilla' experience events will be held simultaneously in about 30 locations nationwide, including the five major metropolitan cities.

Hong Jae-sang, Senior Vice President of KT’s IMC, stated, “Through the ‘Battery SAVE Festival’ held across the country, we plan to enable more customers to easily and enjoyably experience KT’s battery saving technology, which was applied to the nation’s first nationwide LTE network and all devices.”
