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 could clear background apps from running when the device is not being used. This change increases standby battery life for Android devices by up to 3 hours.

Mishaal Rahman for Android Authority Report He asked Dave Burke, vice president of engineering for the Android platform, and Samit Samat, president of the Android ecosystem, about the efforts being made to improve battery life with Android 15. Both said that the necessary way to do this was through dose 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 are allowed to run in the background and how long they can run. The Android platform intelligently optimizes free time to allow multiple background tasks to run simultaneously in a small maintenance window. This makes it clear that different apps are not running at different times, causing the device to remain active for longer than necessary.

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

Apart from battery life optimization, Android 15 is also bringing many new features for users. With the release of Android 15 Beta 2, users noticed a new Private Space that acts as a hiding place for some apps. These apps will not appear 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.
