In the past five years, I have used three different Android phones, and I can't remember any of them having a strong phone battery. The only thing I can say is that all of these phones (Oppo, Redmi, and a Tecno product) have fast charging speed, but then, I think that my battery's ability to last long still depends on my usage.
Since I don't have an active PC that I use yet for most of my online activities, which are battery draining, I kept looking for survival hacks regarding my battery life. To be sincere, if I have my phone 100% fully charged, let's say, in the morning prior to my online activities, it can't last till 2pm without being charged, hehehe. In fact, there was a time it was very bad, to the point of frustrating my daily activities with my phone, and I began to ask my friends what they do to preserve their batteries that I haven't discovered. No doubt, frequent recharging can be frustrating, and a phone repairer once told me that it's not too healthy to be charging a phone and using it at the same time, good enough, have been implementing this advice and seeing a difference. So without further ado, here are the few hacks I have been using to extend my battery life to some extent.
I activated battery saver mode, so once my battery gets to 20%, my phone automatically goes to this mode, saving the battery until I charge again. But what I do is that once it gets to 20%, I stop using it for heavy work except to take an important call. There's also a "power boost" feature on my phone, which is always switched on; it's been a lifesaver too.
Secondly, I discovered that my phone usually turns on "keep the screen on always" by itself. So from time to time, I watch out for that via my phone settings and turn it off; otherwise, it's a feature that consumes battery on the high side.
I also never liked reducing my phone brightness nor turning dark mode on, until I kept having consistent battery challenges. Now, I put all these on, and it helps reduce the way my phone battery drains.
The last hack is having a power bank to support my phone battery; otherwise, getting frustrated with my work becomes inevitable. Even when I have charger issues, I make sure to replace it with fast chargers no matter the cost. This is because I don't use my phone while it charges, so having a fast charger would reduce my waiting time to make use of my phone again.
I think these are just a few hacks I observe to ensure that my battery life is extended. Do you mind sharing yours? Which of the hacks works just fine for you?

Those hacks are good, but I don't use any of those. I don't use power saving mode unless I travel far from home when necessary. Usually, I can pass a day charging my mobile one time unless I play a game on my smartphone.
!PIZZA
Really...u must be using a very strong phone..or do you use PC for hive activities?
I use both.
These hacks are also what I do to sustain a longer battery life.
That's interesting to know...we shall all survive it.lol 😃
Yes ooo
I can imagine your phone keeping the screen on by itself and your boys getting access to it. Rest in peace battery😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣
No be only rest in peace..lol
It must have been the hand work of those boys under my watch
Lol
Powerbanks are very handy when it comes to saving battery power, most especially in Nigeria. You have such effective ways of sustaining your battery although that contrast isn't something I can relate to. My phone is always on dark mode, lol. I don't really have an idea of what happens with light mode
I really don't like the dark mode but due the challenges I have been having with my phone battery..I started to give in
