Enhancing the battery life of Android handsets can be achieved through a few lesser-known settings. Expert Kewin Charron, from tech repair company BackMarket, explained to DailyMail.com that these settings include disabling ‘always on’ screens and adjusting screen brightness. These settings not only drain the battery faster but also harm the long-term lifespan of the device.
Another helpful tip is to use Wi-Fi instead of GPS for location, as well as utilizing Android settings that prevent apps from running in the background. These tricks can significantly extend the battery life.

Charron, an expert in refurbishing used phones, emphasizes the importance of these little-known settings in prolonging battery life and maximizing the usage of Android devices.
Disable Always-on Display
The display of smartphones consumes the most power, even the ‘always-on’ screen. Charron warns that the ‘always-on’ feature on Androids drains the battery by up to 1.5% per hour. To disable it, go to Settings > Display and Brightness > and turn off ‘Always-on’.
Turn on Adaptive Brightness

Enabling the Auto Screen Brightness or Adaptive Brightness settings optimizes the battery life by reducing screen power consumption. Charron suggests dimming the brightness to around 50% without straining your eyes. Additionally, using dark mode can help reduce eye strain in low-light conditions.
Use Wi-Fi instead of GPS for location
