Today, a lot of people find it impossible to live without their mobile phone. As a result, mobile phone developers have been able to create a wide range of smartphones, including the iPhone, which is the most popular phone of all time, Tecno, Infinix, Hauwei, Samsung, and Nokia, one of the best brands.
These smartphones come in a variety of designs and run different operating systems, including Microsoft, Blackberry, Android in different versions, and iOS. Every phone is unique in terms of its designs, accessories, memory, camera specs, and—above all—its battery life.
Due to its low cost and support for billions of games, Android has become the most popular operating system with the assistance of numerous developers. This operating system supports other popular apps like Facebook, Google, Whatsapp, Twitter, and more that you can think of.
Because of this, the phone's battery life tends to decrease, and developers are doing little to address this issue. It is a flaw in their system to have a phone with a 3.5G network, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 5.5-inch screen, and only a 2500ma battery.
Keeping that in mind, there are still ways to increase battery life and make it last longer.
You can extend the life of your battery by using these tips.
- Avoid overcharging: The majority of people fall into this category; they are frequently spotted carrying powerbanks and chargers with them wherever they go, and when their phones are checked, the batteries will still be at a respectable percentage. Overcharging shortens the battery's lifespan and steadily reduces its power. Watery or swollen batteries are typically the result of overcharging the battery. It is important to remember not to use the phone while it is charging.
- Ignoring low battery signals: Some people frequently do this. If their phone does not alert them when the battery is below 10%, they may not take it seriously, which depletes the battery cells and weakens the battery. The phone should ideally be charged as soon as it reaches 20% and removed after it has been charged for at least two hours.
- The vibrate feature on some phones should be turned off. According to some, this lets the owner know if a number is dialed while the phone is in their pockets or if something is accidentally typed. It can also be turned on by default on most keyboards. This is good, but the only thing you can do is turn it off if you know your battery is not at its maximum capacity.
- Eliminate animations from your wallpaper or screensaver: Using gifs or animations as your wallpaper or screensaver uses battery life since these animations need background power to display, which comes from the battery. If you know your battery is running low, it's best to use a black background and no screensaver at all.
- Diminish the brightness of the screen: no further explanation is necessary. Elevating the brightness of the screen will progressively deplete the phone's power by increasing its power-consuming features. In certain cases, mobile phones will even alert users to this when the screen is at its brightest. In certain situations, it is advisable to raise the screen's brightness to between 10% and 20%.
- Update your apps frequently, and remove any that are no longer in use as they occasionally consume data and background processing power.
- Take the phone off of 3G: using 3G causes the phone to get very hot, uses more data, power, and ultimately shortens the battery life. If there is a strong network in that area, the phone's network mode can be changed to 2G. I promise you that some specific networks' 2G is superior to their 3G.
- When not in use, turn off Bluetooth and wireless.
