Battery Usage

Why does my phone take so long to charge?

It is always best to plug your phone directly into a wall socket rather than charge via USB on a PC. This provides more power and will charge your device quicker than plugging directly into a laptop/PC USB slot.

If you think your phone battery is draining faster than it should you can check which apps are using the most power.
