While smartphones are considerably getting more advanced, it can seem as though battery life is one of the areas where the improvement is not so great or so frequent. Which means for many, daily battery usage remains an issue. If that sounds like your Android experience, then it is worth knowing that there are a number of apps which do look to improve the level of battery life you are currently getting. Here are ten of the best currently available battery saving apps for Android.
Greenify
Starting off the list today is Greenify and this is an app which will not need much of an introduction to some Android devices owners, and especially those who like to root their devices. That said, this is one which can be used by both rooters and non-rooters alike. Greenify offers a good level of tweaking and even comes with some advanced features which look to further take advantage of Android’s own Doze feature.
Battery Doctor(Battery Saver)
Battery Doctor is exactly that. An app which looks to identify where your device has battery draining issues and cure those issues. As such, this one will show you which apps and/or services are draining your battery and look to help you limit their access and further draining. As well as providing some nice tweaks for improved and regulated charging, as well as providing you with information like an estimation on how much battery you currently have left.
Avast Battery Saver
Avast is already a popular option for many people who want to regulate and control various aspects of their smartphone and the Avast Battery Saver looks to provide the same sort of service to your smartphone’s battery. In a similar vein to Battery Doctor, this one will provide more detailed information about what is consuming your battery and help you to regulate the actions of those apps and services.
Battery Optimizer & Cleaner
Unlike some of the other apps on this list, Battery Optimizer & Cleaner offers a number of added-value features beyond just the battery. So this one will provide you with options like cleaning the memory to help improve speed and also the ability to monitor your mobile data usage, as well as all the battery saving tricks you would expect.
Snapdragon BatteryGuru
Now, this is not an app which gets updated regularly, however, if you own a smartphone or Android device which makes use of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, then this might be the battery app solution to go for. This is a Qualcomm app and is one which looks to learn your habits in more detail (over a seven-day period) before looking to actually help you better optimize your phone and of course, your battery consumption and usage.
DU Battery Saver – Power Saver
DU Battery Saver seems to be a very popular app among Android users and the Google Play Store listing even states that the app has over 400 million users.

As well as the various tweaks to improve battery life (including a one-click option and pre-set modes), this one also comes with a ‘phone cooler’ feature for added hardware protection.

Not to mention, this is another app which comes with a ton of additional features, so as well as helping to keep your battery clean, this one will also help to keep your smartphone clean in general.
360 Battery – Battery Saver
Most of the apps that are designed to improve battery life take a ‘monitoring’ approach and 360 Battery is no different. This one looks to monitor what is happening on your smartphone and provide information back to you so you can better control the levels of battery usage and consumption. This one also comes loaded with other preset modes which you can apply and let the app do all the work – including instantly killing battery-thirsty apps before they even launch in the background.
GO Battery Saver &Power Widget
Another popular option is GO Battery Saver and this one also comes with a number of features specifically designed to improve your battery’s life on a daily basis, including a handy widget which offers easy to view information on the performance of your battery. This one will also look to provide you with estimated battery life savings on various aspects, like for instance, how much your battery could be extended by shutting down Bluetooth when it is not being used.
ShutApp – Real Battery Saver
Closing out the list today is an app which takes a much simpler approach to improving battery life. As the name suggests, ShutApp is all about the shutting down of apps as a way to prolong the battery. So whether this is shutting down apps which consume a lot of immediate battery or shutting down those which consumer battery over a long period (by running in the background), ShutApp will shut those apps down for you.
