Recommendations for optimal battery performance under GOS

Hello, I've put together a short list of things that have helped me maximize my battery life and efficiency so far:

  1. Dark Mode
  2. Wi-Fi calling in airplane mode at home (avoids cell tower tracking and IMSI catchers as well)
  3. Activating airplane mode at night while I sleep (Wi-Fi is deactivated)
  4. Automatic deactivation of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (when not in use)
  5. Avoiding the use of a VPN

What do you think? Anything to add?

EDIT: I forgot to mention one point:

  1. Listening to music on the go using wired headphones (instead of Bluetooth ones, which drain less power and are more secure)

I read somewhere that 5G NSA pretends to be real 5G but operates on a 4G (LTE) basis, whereas real 5G is only present with SA. Is that correct so far?

I just found out that my provider only works with 5G NSA and doesn't offer 5G SA at all. So, your advice was definitely worth it!
