Does your Android phone battery drain too quickly? You may not need to buy a new phone. A few small settings can help your battery last longer during the day.

1. Lower screen brightness

The screen uses a lot of battery power. Reduce brightness when you are indoors, or enable adaptive brightness in your phone settings.

7. Keep your phone updated

Android and app updates may include battery improvements and bug fixes. Check for updates in your phone settings and the Google Play Store.

Try these tips for one week and notice the difference. Small habits can make your phone battery last much longer.
