Battery is one of the crucial things a customer looks for while buying a smartphone. While most consumers want their smartphones to last long, they often fail to use their devices wisely, which impacts the battery life severely. Here are some practical tips that they can use to make their phones last long.

Change usage habits

Reduce screen brightness: Keep the smartphone’s screen brightness as low as possible. Alternatively, set the display brightness to change automatically based on the ambient light.

Limit background refresh: Apps drain a significant battery amount while refreshing. Turn off the background app refresh or switch to a power-saving mode to stop the battery drain.

Disable location services: Turn off location services on the smartphone when not needed as GPS can drain the battery significantly.

Turn off vibrations: When a smartphone vibrates, it uses a high amount of battery. Disabling the vibrations can help save power.

Use dark mode: Android and iOS support dark modes, which, when turned on, saves battery, especially on OLED screen phones.

Change settings

Update software timely: Download and install the latest software version on your Android phone or iPhone regularly.

Optimise notification delivery: Incessant notifications can cause the battery to deplete fast. Limit notifications on the phone from less important apps.

Turn on battery optimisation: Most modern smartphones come with battery optimisation functionality, which helps with battery charging and power management based on consumption habits.

Disable unnecessary features: Turn off features, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC when not needed.

Charge the battery mindfully: Avoid charging the battery too frequently and to its full capacity. Consider plugging the phone in before its battery becomes critically low.

Changing hardware

Use original charger: An official or compatible charger ensures optimal battery efficiency.

Avoid overheating: Avoid keeping the phone too close to a hot object or under direct sunlight.

Consider wireless charging: Charging the battery wirelessly exerts less pressure on it.
