The evolution that Android smartphones have experienced in Europe in terms of battery life compared to a few years ago is more than notable. Now, most of them tend to reach the end of the day quite easily, and at the operating system level, There are many methods to optimize its duration.
Not only is it possible to activate battery saving and even extreme battery saving modes, but it is also possible to deactivate certain general system functions that affect autonomy and, in many cases, also performance. A good example is location services, or even automatic brightness.
With the growing presence of artificial intelligence in mobile phone features, we also find new battery management tools that can be of great help. Indirectly, there are some optimizations linked to communication or even power, which They can also help increase battery life.
Adaptive functions
Some Android phones, like the Google Pixel or the Samsung Galaxy, have the ability to intelligently manage certain sections of the phone, and one of them is charging. Typically, excessive use of high charging power can cause the battery to deteriorate faster, but with the Adaptive Charging feature, the device can intelligently interpret how fast it should charge based on the time of day.
By activating this option, in the Battery section of Settings, for example, if the mobile is charged at night, it will manage the download so that it is completed just before the first alarm sounds, performing slow charging throughout the night to take care of battery health. Otherwise, it will use maximum power to provide the device with the energy it needs in the shortest possible time. It is always possible to turn this option on and off depending on our needs, but smart management usually does a good job.
Adaptive Connectivity

Adaptive connectivity works in the same way as the adaptive battery, since as it appears in its description, is able to extend battery life and improve performance by automatically managing network connectivity. This means that if it encounters a weak and constantly changing network, it will prioritize a stable connection to save battery and resources.
These kinds of smart functions are of great help, because after all, They are based on user habits to determine the best use of the resources available on the device. This allows the person handling the smartphone to not worry about things like not leaving the phone connected to the charger for too long.
Alternatives
Permission management has always been a feature that has made some Android phones and tablets work better. And there are times when some apps request access to information such as location or to components such as the microphone that they do not need to perform their primary function.
For this reason, in Settings, in the Applications section, in the tab of each application, it is possible to access the management of permissions of each of them, although there is also a section in the settings dedicated general processing of authorizations. From here it will be possible to see which applications have permissions that they do not need and delete them so that they do not consume resources in the background.
Application permissions

In many applications you can also manage their automatic start, and this will have an even greater impact on battery life, since it is possible to prevent certain applications from opening automatically in the background. This will end all notifications you receive, so It is not recommended to put WhatsApp, Gmail or other applications we would like to receive notifications from. However, disabling auto-start of games or entertainment apps can be a good option to ensure that they don’t invisibly waste battery.
To see which apps use the most battery, simply open the section of the same name in Settings and click on the App battery usage section. Here there will be a list of all applications, indicating which ones I consume the most and it will be easier to determine those for which it can be positive to remove permissions.
