Imagine you are on a business call on your android phone and all of a sudden your battery signals “LOW BATTERY, PLEASE CONNECT A CHARGER”. You ignore such a message and as the call progresses, your android phone switches off. Of course, you will feel angry.
In a country like Nigeria where electricity is not stable, no one likes to hear the sound of low battery signal on an Android Phone or Tablet especially when you are on an important call or want to browse the internet for vital information.
Although, there are power banks that can serve as an alternative power source, these power banks have proven that they cannot be relied upon as they can damage the phone’s battery and even spoil the Android phone/tablet board.
Android Phone manufacturers are beginning to understand this trend and that’s why they now manufacture Android phones with high capacity batteries that guarantees good battery life that could take you at least last a day or two depending on your phone usage before you recharge.
Unlike Java and Symbian phones that could easy last a week on a single charge, android devices and blackberry phones were made to be power hungry due to the advanced processors, chip-sets, graphics, applications and operating system it runs.
Nevertheless, you can still get from your device, if you would follow this simple tips that would help increase the battery life of your android phone/tablet so that you would not need to carry your charger or a power bank around.
Ways To Increase Android Phone Battery Life
