Google Nexus 5 packed 2,300 mAh battery capacity that beats all its predecessors. However, the device is far from DROID MAXX, LG G2, or Galaxy Note 3.

Google Nexus 5 can run from 10 to 12 hours with extensive usage, according to reports. Google made some improvements in making Android KitKat to extend the battery life of Nexus devices. Moreover, the new Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor under the hood of Google Nexus 5 is the one of the fastest and most efficient mobile processors in the planet that does not hog power from the battery.

However, users desire the most from their smartphones. Below are the top five battery saving tips in prolonging the battery life of Google Nexus 5.

1. Adjust Screen Brightness And Sleep Time

A 5-inch 1080p HD display that is too bright can drain the device battery. Users can head over to the Settings > Display > Brightness and adjust the screen brightness that works for your eyes. Moreover, user can set the display sleep time or how long the screen will stay on after usage. Best is to 30 seconds sleep time.

2. Turn Off WiFi, 4G LTE and Bluetooth When Not In Use

Like any other smartphones, Google Nexus 5 will constantly search for a network. It is best to turn off these features when not in use. Head into Settings and just slide to off both WiFi and Bluetooth. Users who are traveling in and out of good network services, or those who don't actually have 4G LTE can simply disable this.

3. Turn Off "OK, Google" Search

With the aid of Android 4.4 KitKat OS, Google Nexus 5 now acts as your personal assistant. One of the features of the latest software is the "Hotword Detection" of Google Now. Essentially, letting your phone always listen for the keyword "OK, Google" to start a search using Google Search/Now.

4. Turn Off Location Services and GPS

GPS for Google Maps and Navigation and Facebook asking for location can hog the battery of the device. You can go to Settings >Location > Mode and select Battery Saving.

5. Disable Data, Gmail And Google Sync

Google's sync settings enabled for Calendar, Contacts, Gmail, and other things. But if you don't need Gmail syncing and checking for e-mails every minute, change it. Gmail can be set to check whenever you'd like. From push to 30 minutes to never. Settings > Accounts > Google > and selecting account will show the sync options.
