5 on the Nexus Android M works 2.7 times longer than Lollipop – Babbler.Me (Registration) (Blog)

One of the main improvements in OS Android M, which emphasizes on the developer conference Google I / O, there were two features designed to significantly increase the operating time of smartphones in the standby mode. Now we can operate some figures that make the differences between versions of OSes more specific.

 For those who missed it, I will tell that these new options are Doze and App Standby. The first uses for the fact that Google called “significant” motion detection to determine when you do not touch the device for a long time, and when it is in standby mode. In the second case, he lays all background activity (eg, data synchronization), to immerse yourself in an even deeper state of sleep and save energy.

App Standby, on the other hand, restricts the network activities and any other background processes applications that are considered inactive. Activity may be returned or when you restart the application, or when connected to a power source.

So, Dave Burke, vice president of Google Android VP, told us from the scene that the phones will work more than 2 times longer based on Android M, than Lollipop. However, until recently we did not have any specific information. Now the blog has published the results of testing ComputerBase two smartphones Nexus 5 – with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Android M – and that’s what it turned out.

 After 8 hours of standby time on the Nexus 5 version 5.1.1 has spent 4% of the battery, while the Android M Developer Preview 1 used only 1.5%. For 24 hours, these figures have increased to 12% and 4.5% respectively. However, the most impressive are the results of the 48-hour test with a loss of 24% and 9% of the charge.

It is expected that the Nexus 5 for Android M can withstand up to 533 hours compared to 200 hours today. Please note that the tests were carried out on the device, released back in 2013, and at the moment the batteries continue to “grow” in volume. Especially because Android M available at the moment only in the version for developers, the final figures may be even better.
