Android 15 Battery Improve Standby Life Devices Up to 3 Hours

Google shared more details on Android 15 during its I/O 2024 developer-focused session. According to a report, one such information was about the company’s efforts to improve the battery life of devices, especially standby battery life. The tech giant has reportedly revealed that it has reintroduced Doze mode in the Android system, which can make it clear that background apps do not stay on when the device is not being used. This change increases the standby battery life for Android devices by up to 3 hours.

Mishal Rahman wrote a review for Android Authority Report I clarified that I asked Dave Burke, Vice President of Engineering for Android Platform, and Sameet Samat, President of Android Ecosystem, about the efforts being made to improve battery life with Android 15. Both of them said that the essential way to do this was through Doze mode.

Let us tell you that Doze mode was first introduced with Android 6.0 Marshmallow as a way to manage background processes in a device. It manages which apps will get the permission to run in the background and for how long it can run. The Android platform intelligently optimizes free time to allow multiple background tasks to run simultaneously in a small maintenance window. This ensures that different apps are not running at different times, keeping the device active for longer than necessary.

According to the report, Burke stressed that android 15 With Doze mode has been increased by 50 percent. This means that the device will enter this mode 50 percent faster. By increasing the duration of idle time, Android will be able to control background processes in a better way. It is said that this change will make a difference of three hours of additional standby battery life for devices.

Apart from battery life optimization, Android 15 is also bringing many new features for the users. With the Android 15 Beta 2 release, users saw a new private space which acts as a hiding place for some apps. These apps will not be visible on the home screen or app drawer. Apart from this, this space is also known to be accessed from a separate Google account and it will come with password and PIN security.
