Flagship titles push millions of polygons per second—great for immersion, brutal on batteries. This practical guide teaches players to extend screen time without sacrificing frames.

  1. Frame‑Rate Caps: Dropping from 60 FPS to 45 FPS can yield a 20 % battery savings, according to Qualcomm benchmarks.
  2. Asset Pre‑Download: Navigate to in‑game settings > resources and pre‑load HD textures on Wi‑Fi only.
  3. System Power Modes: Both iOS Low Power and Android Battery Saver throttle background refresh; enable when hits feel stable.
  4. Cooling Tricks: Prop the phone on a metal stand during marathon raids; active airflow lowers thermal throttling by up to 10 °C.
