At the Google I/O 2024 event, Google announced Android 15 features which are quite interesting to look forward to. Android 15 features will apparently focus on improving user privacy and security.
One interesting feature to look forward to is increasing battery life. This new Android 15 feature is helpful for everyone because it improves battery life, which is important for all users, especially those who use their Android devices frequently.
This feature to increase battery power will be named Doze. Doze works differently from other battery life features, but it will be very helpful.
How the Android 15 ‘Doze’ Feature Works, Can Increase Battery Life by 3 Hours
The Doze feature has a way of working that helps users save battery when the smartphone is inactive. According to Google, devices running Android 15 will reach Doze mode 50% faster compared to Android 14.
Doze Mode restricts background activity and app access to system resources when the phone is not used for a long time. This means reduced battery drain, especially for apps that may run unnecessary background processes.
Internal testing by Google shows that activating this faster Doze mode can result in up to three hours of additional standby time on certain devices. It is important to note that the exact upgrade may vary depending on the hardware and usage patterns of a particular smartphone device.
These changes will apply to all devices receiving the Android 15 update. So, you can expect a general improvement in battery life.
Apart from smartphones, these Android 15 features are expected to be carried over to Wear OS 6, the next iteration of the Android 15-based smartwatch operating system. Although the release date for Wear OS 6 has not been confirmed, it is expected to arrive sometime next year.
According to Gizmochina, improvements to Doze mode in Android 15 are a practical step towards better battery management for Android users. While the exact impact on each device may vary, a quicker transition to Doze mode offers a promising step towards achieving longer standby battery life.
How to Save Battery on an Android Phone
While waiting for the improved Doze features in Android 15, you can also take advantage of existing features. Just like on OPPO cellphones, there is a battery saving feature that you can use, and perhaps there are also other brands of cellphones.
This feature is Power saving mode or power storage mode. If you turn on this feature, there are several functions that are not activated on your cellphone. Such as reducing screen light, turning off hotspots, and so on. Then, if you feel that this feature is lacking, you can also use the Super power saving mode feature.
