This option is available in other Chinese mobiles(separate option is available under battery section). Do we have any such option in samsung settings? 
Note: 
- Airplane mode is not an option as I want to receive calls/messages when locked 
- Switching Location on for intelligent wifi is also not an option as it consumes more battery 
- Doing manually is an option but can't do this everytime as missing it sometimes costing the battery life hence want to automate it

Only internet should be off when screen is locked. - i tried to automate this event in routines but there is no option like screen there 

Please let me know if we can do this in samsung settings!?

Can you elaborate how to switch it off only when the screen is locked? Modes/Routines will switch it off irrespective of screen is locked or not if I'm not wrong

I'm not sure how that breaks security or it ensures safety if internet is switched on for the whole day. Many users still prefer to switch the internet off manually when not in use to preserve battery life.

That is true but You don't need internet mandatorily on to track. When you file a complaint for theft, it can be tracked using mobile number or imei number as well.

I have checked the available options and found no screen lock functionality to initiate the routine. However, a "button action" option exists which you can set to toggle internet connectivity; explore this option if it somehow helps
