The battery consumption of smartphones can be due to many factors, from the brightness level to the functions that are turned on or even the applications that are open. Furthermore, the belief that many users in Spain have that their cell phone has less battery the more time passes is totally true, since it suffers from certain wear and tear over the years.
Therefore, it is best to try to take care of the health of the battery, and in the same way, many actions can be carried out to achieve more autonomy on a daily basis. One of them, in fact, It has to do with 5G connectivity.
And there are situations in which this type of networks can also lead to greater battery consumption by the phone. In this case, not because this technology costs more, but rather because of the effort it may require for the mobile phone to try to connect when the signal is weak or changing repeatedly. Luckily, there is an option on Android to counteract this possible expense.
Smart connectivity
Over the years, Android phones have received a huge variety of functionalities that can be activated natively and without having to download any app. One of them is the smart 5G connectivity, which is available on many mobile phones with this type of connection.
This is an option that is available from the settings, specifically in the Mobile Networks section. Activating it will basically make the device switch between 4G and 5G networks to prolong battery use.
It will carry out this change at times when autonomy may be reduced. For example, if you are passing through an area where there is poor 5G coverage, but from time to time it picks up something, the device may be trying to change several times without success, forcing you to make more efforts.
In these types of situations, intelligent connectivity will cause the mobile phone to remain on the 4G network until the other signal is stronger, avoiding that extra battery consumption. Of course, a good option for those times when it is not possible to enjoy the best coverage. Although you can always deactivate 5G connectivity from the settings so that you do not try to connect to this type of networks.
