The entrance of smartphones in our lives brought a lot of changes in the way we do things. This is due to the fact that this small communication device can assist us to undertake a lot of activities much easier and faster than before. However, each of these activities makes your battery deplete. This means that you need to find ways to reduce the battery consumption. This article looks at the science behind the various approaches.

Manage Your Screen Settings

Your screen is one part of your smartphone that is always on when performing an activity. Every operation on the phone uses the screen in one way or another. This means that your screen is one of the components that take up a lot of battery power. The good thing is that you can change the various settings that are used in your screen to reduce consumption.

If you have no time to customize this feature, you can select a theme that automatically adjusts the features to improve battery consumption. This is achieved by selecting the ‘power saving mode’ under your display settings. The science behind this is basically a change in the screen time-out and reduction in the brightness of your screen. This most definitely reduces the power consumption.
