An ANDROID can hold a charge for approximately seven hours of screen time, but users can get more by avoiding certain battery-killing hazards.
While more battery can come at the price of lesser features, it’s still a fair deal.

Touch-down
You can change some settings, but not all of them.
Keyboard haptics are little nudges you get from your phone when typing and tapping. They will charge the battery.
A 2017 StudyA study of haptic technology found that haptics used about 1% of the battery during 30 minutes of gaming.
Although bonus keyboard features may not be essential for streaming, messaging and playing music, they are an added feature that many users cannot live without.
Although the study found that haptics use less battery power than previously thought, you never know when your phone will run out of juice and you’ll need it to send a message, call a ride or make a payment.
To disable haptics go to Settings, then tap Accessibility.
Scroll down to Interaction controls, click Vibration strength and haptic strength, and then toggle off touch feedback.
