Phone battery life keeps dropping! Should “power saving mode” be on all the time?

14/05/2022

Today’s cell phones are becoming more and more powerful, the screen is getting bigger and more beautiful, but also leads to higher and higher power consumption, although the battery capacity also increases every year, but it seems difficult to lift the battery anxiety of users.

 

So today’s cell phones, whether Android or iOS systems are built-in “power saving mode” to lengthen the use of cell phones, and the original intention of this feature is to switch over when the phone power is insufficient, but now many users do not say anything, get the phone to open this feature from then on not turned off, hoping to maximize the phone Continuity.

 

Power saving mode does not protect the battery

 

Some people think that always on the “power saving mode” can also protect the battery and extend the life, but is this true? Power saving mode should always be activated?

 

In fact, always on “power saving mode” (or low battery mode) can not protect the battery, but also reduce the user’s experience, including visual effects, cell phone smoothness, etc..

 

This is because the cell phone system is through the reduction of cell phone processor performance, close the special effects, screen refresh rate to achieve low power consumption purposes, so more or less will affect the use of experience, including the game will feel deeper.

 

Or affect the use of experience

In addition to the use experience, the background refresh of the App will also be turned off, which may lead to delayed arrival of emails or messages, or even will not be received, affecting daily life and work. So experts generally on do not recommend to keep the power saving mode/low battery mode on, unless the battery is low and can be turned on to extend the battery life.

 

And if you want to extend the battery life, Apple has some official tips, first of all, is to stay away from extreme temperatures, the phone is best in between 16-22 degrees Celsius environment is ideal. You should also avoid charging at too high a temperature.

 

It is also recommended to remove some cases when charging, as some cases can cause the phone to overheat when charging.

 

And if the phone is intended to be left unused for a long time, it is recommended to keep half of the power, do not let the battery stay empty.

 

Should not overprotect the battery health

 

In addition, cell phone charging, you can also maintain the habit of charging to 80% to stop, cell phones also try not to run out of power before charging, but with the use of charging, try to keep the battery between 40%-80%, of course, provided that there is always a charging device, or that, the phone is a tool, do not protect the battery and affect the experience, after all, the battery will not be very expensive, but every day worry about the lack of power or battery health, but the loss is not worth the gain.

 

In addition, it is important to change the mindset to lift the battery anxiety, in fact, in addition to going away, cell phone users rarely encounter the phone to the case of no power, even if you need to go away, with a light mobile power is actually enough, even without opening the power-saving mode.

 

Always remember that we are using the phone, do not instead be controlled by the phone our emotions.
