Get the Most Out of Your Android Battery: Google’s Super Saver Mode Revealed
Google has urged Android phone owners to try an easily-overlooked battery-saving feature. It’s the perfect solution if you find that your phone is constantly running out of charge. No matter what you do, your Android phone’s battery will get worse over time. You can slow this process down with good charging and usage habits, but ultimately you’ll eventually suffer poor battery life (unless you upgrade). If you’ve had a phone for a few years and you’re struggling with this, you could try Google’s Battery Saver feature.
Google’s Battery Saver Feature: The Ultimate Solution
“No matter what you do, your Android phone’s battery will get worse over time,” Google explained. “Some Android phones come with a battery saver or low power mode, which helps a charge last longer. When Battery Saver is on, it turns on Dark theme and limits or turns off background activity. So some visual effects, certain features, network connections, and apps may experience delays in this mode.”
Super Saver: What Users Say
One Reddit user posted: “For the past week, I’ve been running my device exclusively on battery saving mode. And to my surprise, I haven’t experienced any noticeable performance degradation or other downsides. Android phone owners say they haven’t noticed any major downsides to the feature.”
Android Google phone owner said: “I have been running both my Pixel phones in Battery Saver mode 95% of the time for months. There are a few things I have noticed, but nothing that will actually damage the device. Delayed notifications is the biggest thing.”
Why do batteries get worse over time?
Here’s what you need to know about why batteries deteriorate over time:
- Most gadgets run on lithium-ion batteries
- Over time, the amount of charge this type of battery can hold gets smaller
- Batteries have two electrode points – the cathode and the anode
- It’s estimated that between 500 and 1,000 full charge-cycles will reduce a battery’s maximum capacity by roughly 20%
