Every Smartphone Brand make phones for different purposes like camera-centric phones, design-centric phones, clean UI & software-centric phones and even smartphones with only high battery capacity compromised with some of the most important components & specification of the smartphones but it all depends upon the individual choices.

The following tips will help you improve your smartphones battery life but as we know every smartphone has different software optimisation, battery capacity & specification, so this tip might not help everyone but around 95% of people will find these tips useful & for the rest 5% it will definitely be useful in the future if not now:

1) Dark Mode - Nowadays, applying a dark theme will minimise the power used to lit up your phone screen, thus saving battery power. You also need to turn on Dark Theme on all the supported apps and while you are at it, use a darker background— preferably all black to save more energy.

2) Turn off Unnecessary Settings - Another big battery sucker is location services running in the background. You can turn off certain apps’ access to location services to limit how much power they use and save on battery life. Remember to turn off Bluetooth when you’re not in the car or playing music wirelessly. By doing this, you can add an hour or more to your smartphone’s battery life. Constantly searching for a wifi connection consumes battery power. Make sure your wifi settings are turned off when you’re not looking to connect. Disable unnecessary push notifications is a sure-fire way to save battery power.

3) Reduce Screen Brightness - Turn the brightness to low or as per your preference and turn auto-brightness off. You can Lower the Resolution, In case you have a Quad-HD Display or 4K display smartphone, and there is an option provided by the brand to lower the display resolution. You can do this in case your battery drain is too high due to a higher resolution display. Additionally, in the display settings, you can set the screen timeout as low as required. This will turn off the mobile screen when not in use. You should set the brightness manually and recommended set brightness to 30% to extend battery life.

4) Uninstall or Freeze Unwanted Apps - Speaking of hibernating, it doesn’t hurt to do a periodic check of all the apps you have and either get rid of or restrict any that are unnecessarily using battery power. The first step is the easiest: Go through your app drawer and see if there are any apps that you don’t recognize (because they’ve been sitting in there so long), or that you’ve gotten tired of. Why let them use resources? Uninstall them or if you don't want to delete any app then you can use Greenify App which is a free app that helps you to identify power-consuming apps and place them into hibernation when you are not using them. Not only does this stop them from eating at your battery, but it also prevents them from slowing down your device.

5) Use Lite & Dark Wallpaper & Ditch Widgets - Stay away from live wallpapers, because it takes energy for your display to animate it. It's also a good idea to limit yourself to a background with fewer colours in it since the display will eat up more energy if it needs to render a lot of different colours. Again, if you have an OLED or AMOLED screen, black coloured or black themed wallpapers are better. While widgets are tempting and convenient, they are essentially an active program usable right from your home screen, so the phone uses energy to keep the feature running. Just say no to these little guys if battery life is a problem.

6) Power Saving Tip - Think you're going to be stuck in a situation where you need your phone battery to last longer than it normally does? Switch your phone into power saver mode, which automatically cuts back on functions that may eat battery life. You can also activate Adaptive power saving mode, which sits on top of your other power settings and helps to manage battery usage based on when you use the device and when it's in your pocket Or if you want to use any app that keeps a check on your smartphone battery then checks out AccuBattery for Android & Battery HD+ for iOS

7) Improve Charging Habit - Simply avoid charging overnight and instead charge your phone twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This will keep a healthy battery charge lifecycle and hence keep the battery healthy. Avoid trickle charging your phone to increase its life because this will reduce battery stability in the long term. So, It is recommended to unplug your phone when it’s partially charged and charge it more often. Make a habit to charge your phone partially on a regular basis.

8) Avoid Overheating your Smartphone - The battery loses more power in high temperatures compared to when at normal temperature. To make smartphones battery last longer, try as much as possible not to use the smartphones at high temperatures. For example: Do not use the smartphones directly under sunlight or while charging because sometimes due to overheating sometimes smartphones get swelled up or get blast.

9)  Avoid using Third-Party Chargers - It doesn’t matter if you are using an iPhone or an Android device but never use cheap chargers or cables which are available in local markets. Make sure you are using an original and certified charger and cable for recharging the battery. We also know that the original charger and cable are costly but they reduce the chances of damaging the battery life of your smartphone. In fact, I would suggest you only use the chargers which came in the box no matter whether they give less output or more although they are safe for our smartphones.

10) Always Carry PowerBank - If you want more battery life but don't want to do anything differently, that's fine. There are many Power Banks available in the markets that are cheap as well as secured that will work with any smartphone & will not damage its battery. Just remember to pack them before you head out the door.
