February 18 is Battery Day. The time to pay extra attention to the battery of your smartphone. Because a battery level of 1 percent while you are on the go and can not recharge is the nightmare of many. Nevertheless, with some smart tips and tricks you can considerably extend the life of your battery. This way you never have to worry about an empty battery again and your device will last much longer. Good for your wallet and the planet!
Do you want to leave your phone on the charger overnight until the next morning? Not a good idea! Once the battery is fully charged, it loses battery automatically… and the charging process starts again. This unnecessary recharging weakens the quality of your battery, causing your phone to drain much faster in the long run.
It may sound a bit crazy, but a full battery is not ideal. Far from even. Charging your smartphone to 100 percent with a high-voltage charger will wear out your battery faster. Ideally, you pull the plug at 80 to 90 percent and aim for a battery level that always fluctuates between 30 and 80 percent. This way your battery stays in top shape for longer.
Sharing your location can be useful, but it eats battery. Moreover, many apps like to use your location, while it is not necessary for anything. Do you want to save your battery? Check regularly which apps you do and have them tracked and adjust where necessary. With an Android device, you can easily disable the GPS function in the settings or make it impossible for certain apps to track your location.
Smartphones don't like extreme temperatures. So don't expose your phone to blazing heat or crackling freezing cold. Use your device at room temperature as much as possible. This way your battery will last as long as possible.
You can make your battery last longer with one quick adjustment:turn on the Smart Battery Mode on your Android device. By the way, there are even more smart options that ensure that your phone needs a charge less often. In the settings, choose the Dark Mode, so that your device uses less power to illuminate your smartphone screen. Turn off unnecessary sounds. And why not use airplane mode more often? Good for your mental peace and your battery!
Do you consciously close all apps after use? If you don't, they will continue to run in the background and consume a lot of energy. You also win extra battery percentages by adjusting the Background Activity Manager in your settings. There you select which apps automatically refresh (and therefore consume battery).
One smartphone is not the other. A mobile phone with a long battery life helps prevent a lot of misery. Did you know that the battery of the new Nokia G21 lasts up to three days? Thanks to the brand new Super Battery Saver mode, you can also choose where your device saves energy. This way there is always enough power left to continue using your favorite functions! Thanks to its Finnish roots, the Nokia G21 also spoils your eyes with a clever minimalist Scandinavian design. And that's not all. The device promises to deliver the latest security updates for three years and Android OS upgrades for two years. Three unique assets that guarantee that your smartphone will last a long time!
