Smartphones have come a long way in terms of design, camera, or even processing power. However, we have not seen much breakthroughs when it comes to battery technology.

That said, here we have listed out some lesser known tricks that will help you get the most out of your smartphone battery:

We like the mild vibrations while typing on the smartphone keyboard. But they absorb a good amount of battery because we spend a lot of time on typing throughout the day.

Besides, if you don’t need to get notified by vibration, then turn the `haptic feedback’ off as it actually takes more battery power to vibrate your phone than it does to ring it.

If your smartphone boasts an AMOLED display, then applying black coloured wallpapers will help you save battery life.

This is because pixels that make the AMOLED displays only utilize battery power to illuminate light colours and don’t need any energy to show black colour. Simply put, the more dark or black pixels you have on your AMOLED display, the less power it consumes to illuminate them, thus saving the battery.

Most of the apps that are installed on your smartphone constantly track your location. But keeping it on throughout the day while you don’t need location tracking will simply kill your smartphone battery.

Turn it off while you are just using your handset for watching videos, sending emails and apps where you don’t need location tracking.

Updating apps might seem to be a cumbersome task, but it actually helps in improving the overall smartphone performance and battery life.

This is because developers keep updating apps to improve on battery and memory optimisation. So make sure your smartphone has the latest version of apps installed.

This is not an everyday solution, but can help you cut battery usage. Turning on airplane mode will cut you from the outside world, but will allow your smart phone to last longer for multimedia apps such as videos, music player or games that don’t need any connectivity.

It can do wonders if you are travelling in a poor network zone where your smartphone antennas consume a lot of power to register on the available networks. Simply turn on the airplane mode if you don’t want to receive any calls, messages or use the internet.
