Although manufacturers have improved the charging capacity and speed in the most advanced phones, daily use ends up wearing them out, which is inevitable over time. For this reason, experts suggest applying some settings that can extend the battery charge, even making it last twice as long.
These are quick functions or “tricks” that you can activate (or deactivate) on your phone, causing the battery charge to be less compromised and you do not resort to charging it so quickly.
5 tricks to make your phone’s battery charge last much longer
1. Disable unnecessary notifications and connections
Constant notifications are not only distracting, they also silently consume energy. Every alert, vibration or screen light activates processes that take away valuable minutes.
It is best to disable less important notifications or activate Do Not Disturb Mode. It is also advisable to turn off connections such as Bluetooth, WiFi or GPS when you are not using them.: Keeping them on involves continuous expenditure of energy.
2. Remove keyboard sounds and vibration
Every time you write and the phone vibrates or rings, the battery works harder. Disabling these effects will not affect your user experiencebut it can add hours of autonomy at the end of the day.
3. Keep dark mode active
Dark mode not only reduces eye strain, It also reduces energy consumption, especially on OLED or AMOLED screens. The fewer illuminated pixels, the less effort the phone makes.
4. Use saving mode, even with a full battery
Saving mode does not have to be an emergency measure. You can activate it at any time and the system will automatically adjust the processor speed, animations and background activity, thus extending the useful life of the battery without noticing major differences in performance.
5. Reduce the refresh rate
Some devices allow you to adjust the screen refresh rate. Going from 120 Hz to 60 Hz will make the transitions a little less fluid, but the energy savings are notable. Not all devices offer this option, although if yours does, it’s worth taking advantage of.
