Android 15: A new feature that extends battery life and competes with iPhones
The new feature is expected to give owners of phones running on the Android 15 operating system up to three additional hours of battery life per day when the phone is inactive.
Google has revealed some features available in devices running the Beta 2 Android 15 operating system, which primarily aim to extend battery life when the phone is in standby mode. Google explained during its recent I/O developer conference that the new feature in Android 15 will be available thanks to some new upgrades made to Android’s Doze mode, which was first introduced with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Doze mode helps extend the battery life of the phone running on Android 15
Some reports have reported that the new updates focus on speeding up the process of the phone entering Doze mode, which works by restricting background activity and access to applications when the phone is not used for a long period.
Doze mode helps reduce battery power consumption, especially if there are applications running in the background.
According to the report issued by Burke, a company specializing in marketing research, internal upgrades in Android 15 will cause devices to enter idle or Doze mode 50% faster compared to Android 14.
In light of the results of recent tests conducted by Google, Android devices can extend battery life by an additional three hours, as this time is translated into more power while the phone is in inactive mode.
Analysts believe that the new updates for Android 15 will be equivalent to Apple iPhones, which enjoy an excellent standby status thanks to the continuous improvements in the iOS system.
Google launches the modern version of the Wear OS 5 smart watch operating system
The huge technological event also included a detailed explanation of (Wear OS 5), the new smart watch operating system, which will consume 20% less battery power compared to the Wear 4 operating system, because it is smarter in running tasks in the background, as smart watches automatically perform those tasks. Functions only when charged, not when on the user’s wrist.
Some technology experts believe that the new updates will change the rules of the game for Android users, since they will be available for all devices that can run Android 15.
Although these changes will not reach the Wear OS 5 operating system this year, since it is based on the Android 14 operating system, the new system should come with a background task management feature.
It is noteworthy that Google, which is owned by Alphabet, also explained during its annual conference that the Android 15 operating system will provide some other benefits, the most important of which are privacy and security.
