Android OS: Reduce battery consumption - the best tips

In order to reduce the battery consumption under Android OS effectively, you can optimize some settings. We have put together tips to help you reduce your smartphone's battery consumption.

Reduce battery consumption under Android OS

• Set the brightness of the display as dark as possible and still set it so that you can still see everything well. The lower the brightness, the less battery is used. In addition, you should set the time-out mode for the display lighting as low as possible.
• If you do not need WiFi or Bluetooth, you should turn it off. If you do not use your smartphone for a long time, activate the flight mode.
• Another really big energy hog is location determination using GPS, since numerous apps use the so-called location-based services to get rid of the corresponding advertising. If you do not need Google's location service, you should deactivate it.
• In addition, you should limit data synchronization as much as possible, since this also causes a lot of battery consumption.
• The energy consumption of widgets should also not be underestimated. Therefore, check whether all widgets that are on your display are really useful.
• In addition, you should always properly end all apps that you no longer need. Otherwise, some applications continue to run in the background and consume energy unnoticed.
• If you are out in the cold for a longer period of time, you should also pack your smartphone warm, as the battery consumption may increase in the cold.
• Various apps can also be helpful in the fight against wasteful battery consumption, for example Optimus Battery Saver Free.

Correct charging is also very helpful for a longer battery life.
