OLED also incurs extra power cost when switching stuff around faster (at the minimum, there are a bunch of multiplexers and a logic driver to convert from the display input signal - a serial protocol over a couple wires - to the thousands of pixel row/column lines) but power save mode on it is usually switching to a dark color theme which lets it turn off pixels and reducing overall brightness.
