Many people feel that keeping WiFi and Bluetooth on drains the phone’s battery quickly. That’s why they turn them off every time they use them. But does it really happen that keeping them on has more impact on the battery? The direct answer to this is no. Actually, Bluetooth and WiFi are low-energy radios, whose on or off does not have much effect on the battery. Let us know about this in detail.
Problem solved in modern smartphones
The advice to keep Bluetooth and WiFi off has been given since the early days of smartphones. However, now due to advancement in technology, they do not affect the battery much in modern smartphones. Today’s smartphones use Bluetooth Low Energy, which consumes little battery even when active. Bluetooth consumes only 2.5 mW of energy, which is why it can take about 3 months to discharge the battery with Bluetooth alone. Similarly, WiFi has also become energy efficient and it consumes less battery as compared to mobile connection. In such a situation, if you are using WiFi instead of mobile connection, then your phone’s battery will last longer.
How does the battery discharge the most?
If you want to make your phone’s battery last longer, then turn off its location based services. Apart from this, also disable Super HDR, Always-on-Display. Similarly, reducing brightness, using dark mode and reducing screen timeout can help in saving battery. Even when you are not using the phone, many activities keep going on in its background. By limiting these you can also make your phone’s battery last longer.
