Google Pixel 10 Pro: Top Tips to Significantly Improve Battery Life

Understanding Battery Usage

• 💡 Battery usage statistics can be viewed by system, revealing that the screen is the biggest power consumer, followed by CPU, mobile network, and Wi-Fi.
• ⚠️ While GPS and camera use some power, they are generally well-optimized, unlike mobile network and Wi-Fi.

Optimizing Network and Background Apps

• 📶 When connected to Wi-Fi, disconnect from your mobile network to save battery.
• 🌐 Ensure autoconnect is enabled for Wi-Fi to automatically switch from mobile data when in range.
• 🚫 To prevent apps from draining battery in the background, go to settings, then apps, select the app, and set its app battery usage to restricted or optimized, rather than unrestricted.

Screen Settings for Battery Savings

• 🔆 Disable adaptive brightness as it can randomly increase screen brightness, consuming more power.
• 🎛️ Set a shorter screen timeout to reduce the time the screen remains active when not in use.
• 📴 Turn off Always-On Display to prevent the screen from staying on unnecessarily.
• ⚫ Enable dark theme as darker pixels consume less energy on OLED screens.
• 📉 Lower screen resolution from the maximum setting to save battery.
• ⚡ Reduce screen refresh rate from 120Hz to 60Hz to decrease power consumption.
