1. Adjust your screen brightness: The brightness of your smartphone screen is one of the biggest battery drainers. To save battery life, reduce the brightness of your screen. You can do this manually or set your phone to auto-brightness, which will adjust the brightness based on the ambient light in your surroundings.
2. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS: If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, turn them off. These features consume a lot of battery power, so it’s best to turn them off when you’re not using them. You can also turn off location services for apps that don’t need them, as they also drain your battery.
3. Close unused apps: Apps that are running in the background also consume battery power. So, close the apps that you’re not using. On most smartphones, you can do this by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping left or right to close the app.
4. Use power-saving mode: Most smartphones come with a power-saving mode that will automatically adjust your phone’s settings to save battery life. Turning on power-saving mode can help you extend your battery life.
5. Disable vibrate mode and sound: Your smartphone’s vibration mode and sound use a lot of battery power. If you don’t need to be notified by sound or vibration, turn off these features to save battery life.
6. Use a dark theme: Using a dark theme on your smartphone can also help you save battery life. Dark themes consume less battery power compared to light themes because they require less energy to illuminate the pixels on the screen.
7. Turn off auto-sync: Auto-sync is a feature that automatically updates your apps, email, and other data. This feature consumes a lot of battery power. To save battery life, turn off auto-sync and manually update your apps and email when you need them.

In conclusion, the battery life of your smartphone can be extended by implementing these simple tips and tricks. By adjusting your screen brightness, turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, closing unused apps, using the power-saving mode, disabling vibrate mode and sound, using a dark theme, and turning off auto-sync, you can significantly improve your smartphone’s battery life. With these tips, you won’t have to worry about your phone dying in the middle of the day.

We’ve all had that battery problem with our phones that’s had us constantly scurrying for a charger. We’ve also got the same advice on lowering our battery usage with tips such as closing background apps, putting our phones on flight mode, lowering phone brightness and a couple more helpful hints. Inasmuch as these have been helpful, we always still feel like there is more that we can do to just get our batteries draining a little slower. We have a few valuable ideas you can try out, and when you do, let us know which one works the best for you.

1. Get a diagnostic of what is using your phone’s battery.
   Depending on your phone, you get a health report by going to your battery settings. This health report will inform you whether applications are running normally and which one of them is using significant battery energy in the background. Using the battery saver menu, you could even switch on your battery saver.
2. Turn off active listening.
   Voice assistance may be convenient, but it’s at the cost of your battery life. When your voice assistant is on, your phone is always listening, which means your battery life is being used up. Whether using Google Assistant or Samsung Bixby, you can turn this feature off by holding down your home screen button to call up the feature and then selecting the inbox icon. Or open the app, tap your profile image, open ‘Hey Google & Voice Match’, then disable ‘Hey Google’.
3. Turn on dark mode (with the right screen)
   Most older versions of phones have LCD screens, where if dark mode is turned on, it doesn’t really affect your battery saving. However, flagship phones from Samsung, OnePlus and Google have transitioned to using OLED or AMOLED displays where the phone actually turns off the pixels displaying black, so you’re saving some battery when all those bright white panels have now gone dark.
4. Dumb down your phone
   We all know that smartphones are like miniature computers that fit into your hand, but did you know this also means the processor in your phone runs at full speed? A faster processor isn’t always necessary, especially if you’re doing something simple like sending a text. You can turn off ‘Enhanced processing’ in your Battery settings to disable this. This will ensure faster data processing but still, save your battery life.

Also, try turning off the refresh rate of your screen. It’s not always necessary to have your screen animations look smoother at the cost of your battery life. So try turning down that refresh rate to s standard 60Hz in your Display settings.

5. Turn off vibration
   Buzz Buzz, your battery is draining. The haptic feedback that shakes your phone when a call comes in or when you get an alert is a sure-fire way to use up power. Turn this off when you don’t need it to save your battery.
