Optimize Your Settings
Disable features you rarely use like Bluetooth, GPS, or background app refresh. Dimming your screen brightness and enabling 'Dark Mode' can also save significant power, especially on OLED displays.
Charging Habits
Avoid letting your battery drop to zero. Modern lithium-ion batteries prefer 'top-up' charges. Try to keep your phone between 20% and 80% charge to minimize internal chemical stress. Most phones now have an 'Optimized Charging' feature; ensure this is enabled to prevent the battery from sitting at 100% overnight.
