Android 15 upgrades with battery-saver adaptive refresh rate feature

Published

Android 15 Adaptive Refresh Rate

Android 15 introduces an adaptive refresh rate (ARR) feature, which allows your phone’s screen to automatically adjust its refresh rate based on the content you’re viewing. This means the screen can lower its refresh rate when you don’t need high refresh rates, saving battery and reducing lag.

Previously, Android could only switch between fixed refresh rates like 60Hz, 90Hz, or 120Hz. This switch worked for most situations but it wasn’t as efficient as ARR, which can make the display work at the most appropriate rate without needing to switch between different modes.

Android 15 now lets the display change the refresh rate within a single adaptive mode to make it smoother and more efficient. The ARR feature reduces power consumption and eliminates jank caused by mode switching.

Android 15 Adaptive Refresh Rate

This feature is especially useful for phones with high refresh-rate screens, like those with LTPO displays. These displays could save battery by lowering the refresh rate but Android still relied on switching between fixed modes.

However, not every phone will get this feature. To support ARR, devices must have the latest version of Android’s display software (HWC HAL version 3), which some older phones don’t have. Smartphones like the Google Pixel 7 and those with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip already support this feature, but older models likely won’t.

When it works, ARR could help fix issues like phones sticking to 60Hz even when watching films at 30Hz or 24Hz. Despite smoother video and less power consumption, it won’t give Android the same level of variable refresh rate support that PC-like VRR experience.

Android steals handy battery saving feature from One UI

Published

Android 16 Baklava

Android adopting Samsung’s One UI-like battery-saving feature. Pixel smartphone users receiving a new battery feature with the November 2024 update. It aims to extend the total lifespan of their smartphone batteries.

AndroidAuthority spotted that Google’s November 2024 update brings a handy battery-saving feature to Android 15. Similar to Maximum Battery protection in One UI, the new feature only charges your Android phone to 80% each cycle.

Smartphones usually use a lithium-ion battery that prefers to stop charging at 80%. Users commonly charge their device up to a full 100%, but going to 100% every time will eventually erode the battery’s capacity.

It’s interesting to see Pixel users waiting for a feature that stops their phone from charging beyond 80%. However, it’s worth enabling as the overall lifespan of your phone’s battery will increase as the charging will stop at 80% itself.

Notably, Google hasn’t yet opened a broader rollout of the new battery-saving tool. Some Pixel users confirmed the deployment, while some haven’t yet received it. It seems the rollout would take a bit longer than usual to expand globally.

Battery protection features in One UI 6:

Samsung’s latest One UI 6.1 brings three battery protection features. These functions help Galaxy users extend their phone’s battery life. You may have less juice on the battery, but it’s a beneficial deal for the long term.

  1. Basic:
    • Whenever your battery is charged to 100%, charging will automatically stop until the battery level drops down to 95% before it starts charging again.
  2. Adaptive:
    • Your device will switch to ‘Maximum’ mode while you’re asleep and back to ‘Basic’ mode before you wake up. Your Sleep time is estimated based on your phone usage patterns.
  3. Maximum:
    • Your battery will stop charging when it reaches 80%.
