Your phone processes tons of information. Depending on 
what you use, that can take a lot of power.

for a period of time, unnecessary background processes are 
shut down to optimise battery life.
To see what’s using up battery power, swipe up 
 >  Settings > Battery.
To help improve battery life, swipe up 
 >  Settings > 
Battery > Battery saver, and turn it on.
Tip: to quickly open Settings, swipe down on the status bar 
with two fingers and tap 
.
Tips and tricks
To save even more battery life between charges, you could 
reduce:
•  Bluetooth® use: swipe up 
 >  Settings > Bluetooth 
and turn it off when you don’t need it.
•  GPS use: swipe up 
 >  Settings > Location > Mode > 
Battery saving to turn off GPS tracking.
•  Display brightness: swipe up 
 >  Settings > 
Display > Brightness level and drag the brightness slider 
left. Make sure Adaptive brightness is also turned on.
•  Display timeout delay: swipe up 
 >  Settings > 
Display > Sleep > (shorter setting).
