I don’t have to worry about battery life, cause I got the Nokia 3310, last time I charged it was in 2009 and it’s at 87% in 2018

How to double your battery:
Use your phone half as much.

[@tobygaming124]

True

[@theleetstright791]

Toby, I agree with this statement.

[@LiquidDreamy]

I hope these companies invent something better than batteries.

[@notteryaki453]

LiquidDreamy Yeah man in 2019, it still is batteries with notch with barely any bezzles

[@LiquidDreamy]

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Get a powerbank.

[@notcazsmom2318]

My phone is on the charger right now. Lol

[@Knockolocko]

Not Caz’s Mom same

[@cheeseburgermacpac607]

Good advice but the older Samsung Galaxy phones have replaceable batteries. Cheaper too. Also the Samsung Galaxy J series uses replaceable batteries. Then users can use a battery pack to recharge the spent battery. This is while the user can continue using the phone with a fresh battery.
End of comment. Lol!

[@danieldurso]

Here’s another way to double the time of your phone battery, JUST PUT THE THING DOWN FOR 5 DAMN MINUTES!

[@jayopnl]

true

[@sourishbanjo5037]

You realise most people need one right?

[@taejoon8200]

1: bring the case that can charge
2: when you're low battery switch your favourite case to the fat charging case

[@abdullahalmutawa227]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS IWANT A WIRLESS OR COVER CHARGER AND WIRELESS CHARGING

[@nick7.3]

I wanted to have a video to make my old iPod 5 battery last longer

[@bk2bmore]

Why not a portable charger/external battery pack instead? You get better bang for your buck, and you are not limited to one device.

[@jayopnl]

Here is how to charge your phone quicker 1. airplane mode 2 turn off wifi and data as well as bluetooth 3. turn down brightseen 4. dark mode 5. power off THEN BOOM 30 MINUTES ABOUT 70 TO 80 PERCENT !

[@GenZyannd]

Phone manufacturers and app developers need to tune their product, and optimize for better battery performance. That's the direction we should be heading. Otherwise, our phones will just get fatter and fatter

[@stefanvanburgeler173]

We just have charging ports in the bus😂😂😂

[@yzdenkochanliev3730]

You could just use a power bank

[@GavinZBeatsJunior]

[@allisonfan1332]

Android users need the extra battery most because our battery can drop 20 percent in 5 minutes sometimes

[@jaden-rs9vt]

trouble clef mine doesnt mine takes 2 hrs to loose 20 percent

[@allisonfan1332]

hydra_ stormvlogs wow lucky you! What kind of phone do you have? I have a nexus 5 x

[@pitaya4151]

My Huawei has an battery saver option. Using it with an battery saver app (third party).

[@RoboRope]

Light weight phone + battery case = just get a better phone

[@kaicenatbackupaccc]

Don't get me wrong I love my mophie but it's so retarted cuz ur always gonna have to be lugging around an extra case that's really bulky and big and always having to worry about your costly phone falling out of your pocket and your expensive case

[@Iwasonceadog.]

Mophie space pack has more storage than my phone...

[@dillonmucha]

Or just use a battery pack that’s flat with a goat case and you get %200 that’s what I do

[@svetislavstanojevic5814]

[@shakingspoon6503]

Android users don’t worry about battery cuz their phones don’t run out of battery in an hour
