Android M will relax batteries and noticeably lengthen … – dobreprogramy

Android M is expected to noticeably longer operating time. According to the tests, with features such as Doze and Standby App, the Nexus 5 operates almost 3 times longer in standby mode. The result is really impressive.

One of the biggest ills smarrfonów is short working time. Although from time to time we hear of the coming revolution in the production of batteries, it is a long time nothing has changed. Manufacturers of smartphones are more focused on the use of energy-saving modes that at the expense of performance and display brightness, prolong the work, usually just a few hours.

Unfortunately, we do not have information that in the end someone has launched a new type of battery that will provide several days of work for the iPhone 6 or Samsung Galaxy S6. However, the changes that will be introduced in Android M are the most noteworthy because noticeably lengthen life on a single charge.

According to the data coming from the first tests, smartphone Android operating under the control of M will be able to work even several times longer. In the test operation time compared Nexus 5 operated under the control of Android 5.1.1 of the same model, but equipped with the M version of Android Developer Preview. The results are really impressive. The charge level of the Nexus 5 with a lollipop after 8 hours decreased by 4%, while in the case of Android M by 1.5%. Along with an increase in the number of hours the difference is even more evident after 48 hours, the results were 24% and 9% of consumption. The difference is evident when we look at the number of hours in standby mode. Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 is able to achieve about 200 hours, while a later version of the robot green result is almost 3 times better and are 533 hours.

noticeably better results were achieved mainly thanks to two new features. The first is called Doze, or nap. “Introduces” she smartphone into a deeper sleep mode. Built-in motion sensor device check whether the smartphone is currently on his desk and is not in use. If so, they are limited activity in the background, reducing their number and frequency. Only after detecting that took device in your hand, synchronization is performed. The second function is to App Standby and its task is to detect rarely used applications that work in the background just wasting energy stored in the battery. If such an application is detected, the system will shut it.

Results Nexus 5 with Android M means that we can safely conclude: longer battery life certainly will feel. On the other hand, I wonder how the new features will fall in practice and whether each smartphone will run several times more while in standby mode. Of course, this is not a revolution, but only something like power saving mode. Longer working time again is achieved by reducing the burden of components. Larger changes are likely to see only with the introduction of new types of batteries, then we will not have to go to such concessions. Unfortunately, everything indicates that we will have a little wait.
