Manufacturers struggle to improve the autonomy of the new smartphones, including working at faster refills technologies while larger batteries are not released. But a great help can come from software improvement, as demonstrated by the update 5.1.1 for the Galaxy line S6 and also the first tests with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The future version of Google’s mobile operating system could triple the battery life compared to the current Android Lollipop. This is demonstrating a test conducted by the German ComputerBase site staff. As you can see in the table below, we have the results of a Nexus 5 running Android 5 Lollipop and with version 6 Marshmallow.
The test evaluated the runtime in stand-by mode with both versions of the system. With the first test version of Android Marshmallow offering almost three times longer than Lollipop on the same device.
After 24 hours without using the Nexus with Android Lollipop consumed 12% of the load, while Android Marshmallow drained only 4.5% of the battery. Numbers increased to 24% and 9%, respectively, after a period of 48 hours. Data that allow you to design the complete autonomy of both versions of the green little robot system. The Nexus 5 with Android Lollipop could remain on for 200 hours in stand-by mode while the version Marshmallow allow up to 533 hours away from the outlet or 2.7 times more autonomy.
As we mentioned, the tests were performed with the first version of Android M for developers. Whereas already available plus two preview versions of the new system, it is possible that the new version of Android is released offering an even greater autonomy from the current Lollipop.
