A few default Android settings on Google Pixel phones drain battery unnecessarily. Switching the preferred network type from 5G to LTE reduces constant network switching in areas with patchy 5G coverage. Disabling Always-on Display and replacing the Lift to check phone gesture with Tap to check phone prevents accidental screen activations. Adaptive Battery, however, should be left enabled as it intelligently limits background app activity based on usage patterns. These three changes together produce a noticeable improvement in daily battery life without sacrificing core functionality.
