How to Get a Better Battery Life on Smartphones? Tips and tricks

Increase Your Battery Life

Some smartphone users experience short battery life, some can't even get through the day after using for a short time. So, these are few tips and tricks you can use to increase your battery life.

Reducing Screen Brightness 

You may increase your screen brightness to the maximum, so your screen will look more brighter and better to watch movies etc. But increasing screen brightness to max can reduce battery life and is bad for our eyes. Increaase brightness can gives headaches and eyestrain.

Switch To Dark Mode

In our smartphones, it is set to light theme/mode by default. Switching your phones theme from dark mode to light theme can make a bigger impact on battery life, especially on phones with AMOLED display. You can easily do this by going to notification panel and there will be Dark mode or Dark theme options(varies in different devices)

Reducing Screen Timeout

In our phones settings, we can see display option click on it, then we will see 'Screen timeout' option. There, we can set the time our screen stays awake. If it is set at three minutes or more, then it can drain our battery fast as the display will be on if we don't switch it off. One minute timeout is considered healthy for better battery life. There is also 'Never' option in timeout which will never turn off the display, meaning it will be turned on till battery drains to 0% until we turn it off.

App Backround Activity 

Limiting background activity can give us much better battery life. Backround running apps such as Spotify, YT Music and many such run in the background even when we are not using them. These apps on run in backround when we play music then it runs even when screen is off. You can optimise your phone by using cleaner, stopping background usage by apps.

Power Saving Mode

In the quick notification centre we can turn on power saving mode giving us more battery, but less performance. Turning this mode on can reduce CPU usage by 70-80% reducing performance. This also reduces brightness by 10%(varies in different phones).

Battery Optimisation 

If none of these tricks work, try optimising your phones battery. Go to settings-Select battery option-Click optimise battery. After optimising it will say what are the problems with battery, background app usage, and battery capacity and more(varies in different phones)
