Eight Apps To Extend Your Android's Battery Life
The battery is the Android smartphone’s biggest weakness. Gone are the days when you could charge your phone once and forget about your charger for a couple of days (Nokia 3310 anyone?). In Android phones, you can expect up to eight hours of battery life. Of course, with the level of functionality that they provide, this is expected, but carrying a charger around all the time can be quite exasperating.
One of the biggest strengths of the Android OS though is in its third party apps, and through these apps, you can even improve your battery life. So, here are a few apps that’ll help you do that.
