Test reveals that the Twelve feature makes the Nexus battery 5 render … – Tudocelular.com

One of the great innovations of the Android M was the announcement of the Twelve feature that promises to double the battery life in standby mode. That is, when your device is stopped with the screen off. When we are not using our smartphone, it is normal Android system continue using some synchronization services and location, but ultimately devouring the battery unnecessarily. With the launch of the first Android 6.0 test build, the system learned smarter to disable it is not so important, causing the CPU of your device to “sleep” longer.

Other changes were also made, such as access to mobile networks which ends up being limited to a few apps, alarms scheduled through AlarmManager class are disabled, WiFi network scans are not performed, as well as synchronization and jobs to sync adapters as well the JobScheduler, will no longer be executed. But will all these changes actually generate such an impact on consumption? To take this course, the site ComputerBase conducted a comparative test between the Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and the previous version of Android M released last month by Google.

As can be seen in the table above, the Twelve feature really brought a very significant improvement. In 8hs standby, Android Lollipop consumed 4% of the battery, while Android M was only 1.5%. In 24 hours of standby, the difference gets to be almost three times, with 12% lost in Android 5.1.1 and only 4.5% on 6.0. Finally, in 48 hours of testing, it was noticeable that the Lollipop spent 24% of the battery, while the previous version of the M spent only 9%. In total, the Nexus battery 5 reached last 200HS in the stable version of the system, while the previous version came to render amazing 533hs – This shows that Google’s promise to double the autonomy was actually fulfilled

Below you can see what services are enabled or not during the tests:.

Those responsible for the test also commented that before making all settings, both systems were reset to factory mode. This shows that Android M can really make a big difference in battery life of the models that are lucky enough to be upgraded to this version.
