Battery that lasts for years

Gentler charging and fewer apps running in the background, so the battery ages slowly.

In this order

1. Help your battery last years longer

   Batteries wear fastest when they sit at 100%. Stopping the charge a little earlier keeps more of the battery's capacity as the phone gets older.

2. See how healthy your battery really is

   Batteries lose capacity over time. Knowing where yours stands tells you whether a replacement makes sense or whether it still has years left.

3. Let battery saver switch on by itself

   Instead of remembering to turn on battery saver when you are running low, the phone does it for you at the level you choose.

4. Stop rarely used apps draining your battery

   Apps you hardly open can keep running in the background. Putting them to sleep saves battery without deleting anything.

5. Let dark mode switch on at sunset

   A dark screen is easier on the eyes at night, and on most phones it also saves a little battery.
