These days, everyone is addicted to their phone, to the point that our batteries are constantly depleted. All we ever want is a battery that lasts a long time. The unfortunate fact is that just a few phones are genuinely regarded as being decent when it comes to the battery, despite the fact that technology is developing, smartphones are getting bigger and better and have better batteries. The battery life of the other phones makes you wonder how you might make yours last longer.
There are a few strategies to extend battery life and even get the most out of the remaining capacity to make the battery last longer than you would normally expect. Here are 10 ideas and techniques to help your smartphone's battery last longer:
1. Enhance the screen's brightness
The best course of action is to let your phone choose the ideal screen brightness on its own, depending to the ambient light conditions. If not, it is preferable to keep the brightness at 50% rather than 100%. Because your phone screen uses the most power when you're on the go, doing this will help you save a lot of battery.
2. When not in use, turn off Bluetooth and WiFi!
When not necessary, people frequently leave Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi on for longer periods of time. It does sap a lot of battery from your phone to keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled as they search for nearby connections. Additionally, leaving both of these open may even compromise the security and privacy of your smartphone.
3. Disable location and GPS tracking
Whereabouts tracking must be turned off when not in use, just like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as this feature uses radio waves and satellites to track your location and significantly depletes your phone's battery.
4. Maintain a brief screen timeout
Screen timeout is the length of time it takes for our phone to automatically enter sleep mode when there is no activity. Keep this to a minimum. In the end, it is a waste of battery if the phone is left on even when there is no activity.
5. Disable notifications from pointless apps.
It's fine to receive notifications as long as they come from helpful apps (like news and email, for example), or even apps like social networking. However, notifications from games like Asphalt or Amongus requesting you to locate yourself and informing you that you have been missed by the racetrack are useless. Are those even necessary?

6. When finished, close the apps!
While multitasking is beneficial, the battery is drained. Multitasking may not appear as difficult as it was before the increase in RAM in smartphones. However, you can keep the necessary apps closed while keeping the ones you're using open in the background.
7. When taking photos, avoid using the flash.
LED flash is now a standard feature on smartphones, even the front cameras. Use it sparingly and only if necessary. Additionally, you can select phones with cameras that perform well in low light. The Samsung Galaxy S21 was introduced with the promise of "A new Galaxy."
8. Avoid letting the phone overheat.
Modern phones contain robust hardware housed in a slim body. That is why heating is widespread. Battery life suffers excessively from heating. While we have little influence over what occurs inside, we may take steps to minimise exposure to sunlight and keep our phones in our pockets (especially during summers). Simply turn off your phone and restart it after two or three minutes if it is heating up excessively.
9. Don't let your phone completely drain before charging it.
With Lithium-Ion batteries, which are found in the majority of smartphones, depleting them and then charging them may result in a reduction in battery life or possibly battery damage. It is recommended to sometimes keep your phone charged.
10. Avoid "trickle-charging" and don't leave your phone plugged in all night long.
Numerous phone manufacturers and tech publications have encouraged consumers to avoid "trickle charging" by not leaving their phones plugged in all night. Trickle charging is the process of charging a phone intermittently throughout the night. For example, if the phone is plugged in and the battery level drops to 99%, the phone will immediately charge it to 100%. Battery longevity and the amount of charge it can hold are both impacted by trickle charging.
