Moto X4 has a battery saver mode which restricts several processes running in the background and tweaking into various other processes thereby boosting the battery life. This mode puts the device into internet disabled when the screen is off that extends the battery life by few hours until you find a charger to juice up the battery.

Android OS lets users check out even the slightest battery usage through its feature ‘Battery’ in the ‘Settings’ option. With this functionality, users can analyze their battery usage and after reviewing it, take necessary actions to void excess munching on the battery life.
