For many users, battery is one of the most important elements of a smartphone, a
nd Samsung customers are no exception.
To preserve the useful life of your smartphone, there are some measures that Sa
msung recommends. Based on the official post on Samsung's forum, here are some suggestions on the matter.
Adjust screen brightness and timeout precisely
Samsung says that leaving your phone at maximum brightness will cause yo
ur smartphone to consume more power. For this reason, users should only do this in situations where it is absolutely necessary.

Along with that, Samsung also hinted at a screen timeout limit. In fact, we'

Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS when not needed
Samsung also recommends that users only enable features that are only needed for temporary use, especially Wi-Fi, Blue
tooth or GPS. These are all features that even when not in direct use affect the battery life of the smartphone. As Samsung explains, “every time you check the signal frequently, it consumes energy”, which is something that can be avoided.
Do not let the battery run out completely
A common misconception is that charging from 0% to 100% is wrong. This is because on more modern devices, this habit can affect battery life.
Samsung’s advice is to never let the battery go below 20%. Conversely, users should also determine the maximum load value. A recent study by Battery University even found that the best option is to charge between 20% and 80%.

To set the maximum load value, follow these steps: Go to Settings > Modes and habits > Routines. Select “+” and a page will appear with two options “If” and “Then”. In the “If” option, click “+” and confirm that the wired and wireless charging options are enabled. When finished, click Done.
Click on “+” again under “If” and look for the “Battery Level” option. Under “Battery Level”, the user will see the “Below” option. This is where the user can determine the percentage at which he can charge the phone. When done, click on “Done”. Go to “Then” and click on “+”, select “Battery Protection”, “On” and “Maximum”.
After performing all these steps, the user should check “Done” to complete the task.

Store your phone in the right temperature conditions
Another related tip from Samsung, especially as the weather heats up, is to be careful when storing your Galaxy phone. As the brand explains, extreme temperatures (as well as extreme cold) can be quite damaging to battery life. Overheating can accelerate the wear and tear on the battery and other internal components.
