The battery is a crucial element of our mobile. In addition to the most obvious reasons, it is a component that must be taken care of so that the degradation – which will come – delays appearing for as long as possible. Now we also need to take care of it so that it ultimately reaches us and doesn’t leave us stranded.
There are several ways to save your mobile battery and the most useful is the saving modes. And it is precisely the trick Google explained to extend Pixel battery life.
How to Automate Battery Saving on a Google Pixel
When our cell phone is a few years old
If we are in a day with many hours of time spent in front of a screen outdoors, we have taken many photos or videos or, quite simply, we have not removed our cell phone, depending on the model you will have to go through the charger
There are others that easily last a few days, but… what happens if your cell phone has little battery left, we don’t have a powerbank and we don’t know when we can use the socket? This is where battery saving methods come in, such as activating airplane mode, limiting connections, or even going directly to the battery settings and activating a saving mode.
Exactly the same thing happens with the Google Pixel, but Google has a trick so we don’t have to worry about this adjustment. And, as they detail on their blog, the Pixels have a setting that allows you to automate the activation of battery saving mode when there is a certain percentage remaining.
To activate this automatic battery saver on a Pixelyou just need to do the following:
- Go to “Settings” and click on the “Battery” section.
- Once inside we go to “Battery saving” and we will see the modes we have available. One is more aggressive than the other.
- The next thing is to go to “Scheduling & Reminders” and enable it.
In this way, for example, We can activate automatic battery saving when the battery reaches 30%. We can be more aggressive if, for example, we have a weekend ahead of us and we don’t want it to get away from us, choosing to activate it at 50% or whatever percentage we want.
Furthermore, There is another automation activated by default which deactivates economy mode when the charge reaches 90%. Maybe 30% is an exaggeration, but it doesn’t hurt to activate this automatic battery saving when the charge reaches 20% or 10%. This way we won’t have to worry if the battery gets weaker and weaker… and we know we won’t have an outlet until the evening.
