Android 7.0 will be even faster and more energy efficient – Softonet

The development of Android is not just cosmetic changes, but also neat touches under the hood. Android 7.0 Nougat is to receive a lot of improvements to its two key projects – Doze and Svelte, which stand guard over energy efficiency and adequate performance management unit.

In fact, the celebrate every major operating system update any talk of greater efficiency and better operating mechanisms of energy saving. It is no different with Android Nougat, where Google will focus on refining existing technology within the software. The most important changes will apply to projects Svelte and Doze that Android has long been responsible for the basic parameters of the device.

First – Svelte design

The technology inside Android premiered already in the “ancient” some times when the latest iteration of the system was KitKat. Originally, the project envisaged a better behavior of the system to a weaker mobile devices, but it turned out that it is also a brilliant base for the introduction of his means of mechanisms saving components for entirely different reasons.

Many of the programs that are present on our device , works in the background. This means that even without the immediate startup, they are able to retrieve information from the Internet, analyze them and return the results to a user of these operations – for example in the form of the new message notification. Changes in this area are to appear with the help of the project Svelte.

The mechanism of data collection by the Android apps today establishes each time checking the data network when changed is the connection (cellular to WiFi and vice versa, mobiles phones in different technology ), even when the phone is in standby mode and currently are not using it. This subtle and imperceptible to us a change will cause the applications will use less RAM and will be kinder to the battery.

It was the same with photos – when the only application running in the background has detected that record video or taking a picture, also collects a data preparation for its launch. It also meant big losses if it comes to power and RAM.

Motion Doze – phone even smarter plan the use of energy

mechanisms sewn Android 7 will be even better distinguish the current state of the device. Of course – differently it should watch when we are on the move or place the phone on the desk. Every day we do not notice the activities of such technology, but it largely depends on them, after which time we will use the loader.

Doze stands guard to assess whether the current state of the processor, as well as open connections Internet is suitable for the current scenario of using the device. This is done by establishing three criteria – Unconnected to the charger, turn off the screen and lack of exercise equipment. The Marshmallow it worked great until the smartphone lying on his desk. However, when we were in motion (for example, we kept the phone in your pocket), you could not talk about the enormous energy savings. From now on, Doze will take into account the factor of user traffic and this scenario would also match the state of the processor, and an Internet connection. Applications will be able to complement the information with network connection only during certain “windows” – periods of time when this will be possible. In all other cases, to deactivate this mode, eg. Through the wake of the screen, applications will work perfectly normal.
