Here you can choose the intensity of brightness not only with a slider, but there is also an option here Adaptive brightness.

If your device allows it, and if it has an OLED display, it is also worth switching on dark mode in the menu at the top. In it, the black pixels are not activated and remain off, so you can also reduce the rate of discharge of the device. If your device has multiple display refresh rate options, change it to the lowest possible one in the menu Fluidity of movement.

To reduce battery consumption, it is recommended to disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use. That is, if you are somewhere in the wilderness and you do not need to listen to music through TWS headphones. You will probably hardly catch Wi-Fi in the forest. You can turn off both functions in Settings -> Access available. However, you can turn both features on and off from the quick launch panel. Alternatively, you can turn on i Airplane mode. This will cut you off from the network, but on the other hand, it will quickly increase your stamina.
