Another often overlooked secret of Lollipop is the battery saver mode. which can be activated easily via the notification area. Here, tap the battery icon to view the remaining charge on your device and observe how the battery has been used since the last charge. You will also notice that you are given a target end time for when the charge is expected to fully run out.

To activate, select the Battery saver option in the menu. You’ll see that it is set to Off by default. so tap the switch to On. You should also tap the ‘Turn on automatically' option to select between the Never, at ‘5% battery’ and at ‘15% battery’ options. If we are honest, battery saver works best at 15 per cent. By the time the charge has dropped to five per cent, there is not an awful lot of life to save, so be sure not let it get too low before your phone needs to be rescued!
