We use our smartphone every day for many important things: calling, e-mailing, chatting, taking pictures, gaming, and so on. Then it is of course so nice if the battery lasts a full day. To help you with that, here are six energy-saving apps for your smartphone.
Battery Doctor
The battery is often the weakest link of a smartphone. Fortunately, you can save a lot of energy with the help of a few simple tricks. Battery Doctor analyzes which apps are using a lot of power and makes it possible to close them all at once with one tap.
In addition, this app shows how much extra time you can work with your smartphone by, for example, switching off WiFi or Bluetooth or lowering the brightness of your screen. Also useful is that the app shows how long your phone needs to charge to get the battery percentage back to 100. A top app!

BatteryDefender
BatteryDefender does everything it can to let you enjoy your smartphone for as long as possible. Whenever you turn off the display, the app will turn off your Wi-Fi and mobile data connection. Fortunately, you can put together a whitelist, so that you can continue to use certain apps in the background that require an internet connection.
Thanks to three clear buttons, you can also use the app to quickly turn GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth or data on and off. Finally, it is still possible to completely disable the network and data connections while you are sleeping. You must enter the duration of your night's rest once, for example from 11:30 pm to 6:30 am.

Battery - Battery
This app seems a bit limited at first glance, but nothing could be further from the truth. Battery - Battery shows the remaining energy percentage after one tap. In addition, it is also very easy to show that percentage, in the bar at the top.
However, Advanced takes you one step further. This shows you the current temperature of your device, the voltage, the health and the type of battery. Usage also shows you in chronological order which apps or functionalities are major energy guzzlers. Then you can turn them off immediately.
