How to improve your phone’s battery life

Samsung’s A-series includes numerous impressive budget phones. Among them is the Samsung Galaxy A25, one of our favorite affordable Galaxy phones. The 5G-capable handset is powered by the Exynos 1280 and features a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz panel.

This guide shows you how to improve the battery life of the Galaxy A25 5G.

1. Pull down the notification shade.
2. Tap the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi icons to switch them off.

Turn off your location on the Galaxy A25

GPS is crucial for location-based navigation, cab services, and food delivery apps. But they drain the phone’s battery since they run in the background. You can turn off the location settings on your phone to prevent your phone from running out of juice. Turn it back on after charging your phone.

After you pair your accessories, turn off the feature to save battery life. Here is how to do it:

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Connections.
3. Tap More connection settings.
