Hi everyone. So today we're taking a quick look at some of the features of
Android M.
First off is doze mode.
Now doze mode effectively is going to
help save your battery life. Now Google are claiming up to a four times improvement
in battery life by using this technique. Now what this basically means is
the apps that you currently have on your Android device tend to
have the ability to do things in the background including updating themselves.
Now that's good for a certain group of users if you need
your data to be fresh on your device every time you pick it up. But for those people who are
looking to
extend the battery life of your smartphone that can be a bit of a
problem. Now the idea behind doze mode
is it will selectively put apps to sleep and
by putting them to sleep it will actually put them to sleep. They will
only wake
up if they have to receive a high-priority message which you yourself
are able to
obviously toggle on or off as you need to. Now you can set doze mode on an
app by app basis which is very, very useful. I think this is probably going to be the
big change really in Android and that the majority of users are
going to notice. Purely because everybody notices battery life.
If Google as claimed are able to increase standby time by up to four times
the current benchmarks then that is a major benefit all round for everybody.
