Battery tips

Your phone is like a small computer, giving you a lot of
information and apps, with a touch display! Depending
on what you use, that can take a lot of power.

To save even more battery life between charges, you
could reduce:

• Recording or watching videos, listening to music, or

taking pictures.

• Widgets that stream information to your home

screen, like news or weather (“Home screen” on
page 8).
