Why your phone drains quickly: Experts reveal 6 reasons.

Even the latest gadgets with extremely large batteries, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, which boasts a battery capacity of 5000 mAh, can deplete in just a few hours.

Constantly charging several times a day is definitely not a solution. The most common reasons for rapid smartphone battery drain have been identified by Moyo specialists.

Battery Wear

An aging battery is the primary cause of quick energy loss. During charging, it heats up due to increased internal resistance. A visual inspection of the battery may reveal swelling, corrosion, deformation, and various spots on the surface. Any of these signs is a reason to replace it.

Accurate information can be obtained by dialing the code *#*#4636#*#* on an Android smartphone and then selecting the "Battery Information" option. Here, details such as charge level, condition, temperature, and other data will be displayed. iPhone owners with iOS starting from version 11.3 can check the battery condition directly in the settings.

Usage in Cold or Heat

Modern batteries, although they have large capacities, are sensitive to both cold and heat. The operating temperature limits for the device can be found in its specifications. To prevent the smartphone battery from draining at crucial moments, it's best not to exceed these limits. A case that covers the device on both sides can help warm up the phone in cold conditions.

Very Bright Screen

A bright display with vibrant colors set to 100% will consume a lot of battery power. This issue can be corrected by adjusting the brightness settings and lowering it to a comfortable level for using the device. It is believed that around 50-60% brightness is sufficient.

Resource-Intensive Features

If the device is running with "all features on," it’s no surprise that the battery charge disappears in a matter of hours. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC—all of these require energy consumption. Therefore, it’s better to turn off unnecessary features in the device settings.

Unstable Cellular Connection/GPS

The phone drains quickly when it tries to find a constantly fluctuating signal (if there are connection disruptions). According to experts, the GPS sensor is one of the most "power-hungry." While it is essential in unfamiliar areas, it is probably best not to activate it at home or work.

Mobile Viruses

If you ignore the security warnings from your browser, visit suspicious websites, or download apps from unreliable sources, you risk virus infections. Malware can drain the battery charge much faster than regular applications. Therefore, experts recommend installing antivirus software.

Earlier, we discussed how to properly charge a mobile phone and debunked some myths. For instance, you don't need to fully discharge the phone before charging. This topic was relevant for nickel-cadmium batteries, but they are no longer in use.
