    Disable Connectivity Features:

    NOTE: You can turn the phone’s connectivity features Off when they are not actively in use to avoid unnecessary network scans. This can potentially improve battery life in the long run.

    Uninstall Third-Party Apps:

    NOTE: Third-party apps can perform background processes regularly, which can potentially affect the device’s battery life even when the apps are not actively in use. To remove third-party applications:

    2. Access “Apps & Notifications” and switch to “See all apps”
    3. Select the desired app
    4. Tap “Uninstall” > “OK”

    Keep the OS Updated:

    NOTE: OS updates can improve battery life and thus it’s recommended to keep the OS up to date at all times.

    1. Swipe the home screen up from the bottom
    2. Open “Settings”
    3. Go to “System” > “System update”
    4. Tap “Check for update”
