Battery life
Your phone processes tons of information and apps at 4G
LTE speed. Depending on what you use, that can take a lot
of power.

shut down to optimize battery life.
To see what’s using up battery power, tap Apps >
Settings >Battery.
To help improve battery life, tap Apps > Settings >
Battery > Menu > Battery saver.
Tip: To quickly open Settings, swipe the status bar or lock
screen down with two fingers and tap .
Tips & tricks

reduce:
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® use: Tap Apps > Settings >

them o when you don’t need them.
• GPS use: Tap Apps > Settings > Location > Mode
> Battery saving to turn o GPS tracking.
• Display brightness: Tap Apps > Settings > Display
> Brightness level and drag the brightness slider left.
Make sure Adaptive brightness is also turned on.
• Display timeout delay: Tap Apps > Settings >
Display > Sleep > (shorter setting).
• Activity of seldom used apps: Tap Apps > Settings
> Battery, then tap Menu > Battery optimization > All

a reboot—press and hold the Power button until the screen
goes dark, and your phone restarts.
