When it comes to choosing a new phone, its battery life and storage are probably the first two things you are interested in. We spend a lot of time on our
\nphones and rely on them for texting, banking, chatting, shopping and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this guide we\u2019ll tell you more about battery saving on Android phones, with handy tips on how to prolong your Android battery life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the differences in battery life of Android and iPhone<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Android battery vs the iPhone battery<\/span><\/h2>\n

The average lifespan of a phone battery is not calculated in years. The average battery lifespan number tells you how many times you can completely recharge your battery, before the battery is unusable.<\/span><\/p>\n

A full charging cycle for a smartphone is seen as the charging of the battery from 0% to 100%, and back to 0% again.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, this means that having a phone with a battery with a larger charging capacity – that needs charging cycles less often – lasts longer. Many iPhones come with a battery with a capacity around 2500 mAh. The sleek design of a flat iPhone leaves less room for a larger capacity battery, often resulting in the use of phone batteries with a lower range. A full charge of a phone with a 2500 mAh type of battery may last for about a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many Android phones are fitted with larger batteries, ranging around 4000 mAh. Some phones, like for example the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra,<\/a> have a battery of 5000 mAh. It\u2019s clear to see why battery saving on Android phones is easier, you need to fully charge them less often. You can improve the battery life of your Android with smart usage, about which we\u2019ll tell you more shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n
