Battery performance
The standby time is defined as the time when the
phone is connected to one network operator and
located in a place where it has full network coverage
and a strong signal strength. The standby time may
vary depending on your position in the network and the
signal strength. The more time your phone is in
standby, the more the battery lasts.
The following tips will help you improve battery
performance:
