Smartphones are great and are improving every year, but one problem that still bugs users is battery life.
Although battery life varies somewhat across the different Android phone models in the market, the one constant among them is the operating system, namely, Google Android.
Even though Google claims after every iteration and each patch of Android that its software is going to help users save battery, there are always reports that the OS is responsible for increased battery drain, irregardless of Android phone manufacturer.
On top of that, smartphones are becoming more and more essential, and that the average user is requires more and more battery juice just to get by in a day.
Of course, savvy users will turn off apps that are not in use or a phone’s connectivity functions (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, etc.), but users can’t always stay on top of everything all the time, especially on a busy work schedule or life event.
Good thing the different app developers have come up with battery saving apps.
