Android @GoogleWhat's New

How Android P will increase smartphone battery life

Android P will definitely be a huge step for Google in terms of the development of Android operating systems for both the company's devices and those of other major manufacturers. I wrote about some of the capabilities of Android P in one article. The ability to rotate the screen both in applications and in settings. Practically the same thing that Apple iPads currently do.

Another feature of the system Android P will prolong significantly smartphone battery lifeof the The biggest problem nowadays for mobile phone manufacturers, we all know is battery life. For a smartphone frequently used on a 4G connection, a recharge is required after just a few hours. Google is trying to change something this year and solve this problem in the upcoming Android P.

Currently in the Beta development stage, Android P received two very important features. Adaptive Battery and Adaptive Brightness.

What does Adaptive Battery mean and what will it be used for by Android owners

This new function is very similar to what Apple is trying to do on iPhone devices. That is, to prioritize the applications and services you use the most, and the least used ones to be disabled until the user requests. In this way, both the memory and the processor of the smartphone will consume much less energy resources from the battery.


FEATURES Adaptive Battery will "teach" you how to use your phone. What applications and services do you run the most and when do you use them. The least used will be disabled and will no longer be able to run in the background even if they send requests to the system. Basically, the wakelocks function will be blocked for applications that do not necessarily need to "wake up" the phone, because you do not use them very often.
For example, if you use the Facebook application mainly at night, Adaptive Battery will learn this and during the day the Facebook application will not have access, it will run in the background. It will be allowed to do this at night, when you usually use the application. According to Google, during tests Adaptive Battery reduced battery power consumption by up to 30%. In simple terms, this means that with the introduction of Adaptive Battery on Android P, instead of 10 hours of use, a smartphone's battery will last 13 hours.

What is and how Adaptive Brightness will work on Android P

Apparently, it would be about the old feature of adapting the light of the display / screen depending on the ambient light. However, Adaptive Brightness comes with a very important change. Just like in the case of Adaptive Battery, the operating system will learn what your preferences are. This time it will memorize how you like to keep the intensity of the light depending on the ambient light. The ambient sensor will adjust the light depending on the environment you are in, but if after the light has been automatically adjusted the user will change its settings, Adaptive Brightness will remember this and take it into account during the next operation. More precisely, if you reach the phone from light to dark, the sensor will substantially reduce the light intensity of the screen. If you set a higher intensity than the one set by the system, next time it will not reduce the light more than you initially set.
This will not necessarily help to increase battery life. Many users mistakenly prefer to use a screen light even if they are in a dark environment. Which is not good for either the health of the eyes or the battery of the device.

It remains to be seen how the final form of Android P will look, and the true performance of the new innovations will be visible (or not) after a period of use on the devices.
