Will Android M be the solution to autonomy problems?

These days we have been talking about the various autonomy problems that some models of mobile terminals presented. In fact, we dedicated an entire article to the battery problems of the new Samsung Galaxy S6 range. At first, it was not clear what the origin of the failure was, but everything seems to indicate that it is actually a problem related to the operating system itself. In your case Android Lollipop 5.0. Later, other companies also complained to Google that something similar was happening to them. The last to shout to the sky at the complaints of its users was precisely Sony, which has seen the durability of its Sony Xperia Z3 diminished.

But now that Google has already held the developers conference, and we all know in advance what the search engine companies will prepare next, solutions could begin to be seen to all those autonomy problems that they almost always bring to us users. head. After all, phones today seem to do everything except last us a whole day. And in addition to this, we find that when we compare specifications before the purchase, in the end they do not turn out as expected, as in these two cases, because of the OS. But all this could radically change with Android M.

Android M, for those of you who are a bit uninformed, will be the new version of Android that will be available in the coming months. As it is already a norm, the first terminals to roll with it will be the Nexus and those that have pure Android, that is, a version of the operating system without the manufacturers' own modifications. Everyone else will have to wait for the companies themselves to make the modifications, present the betas, and then the final update available to everyone is released. It may seem like a long time, but at least, you can be sure that if your terminal is affected by some of those errors, the first part of the solution is already on the table. At least this is what it looks like from the latest tests that have been carried out with Android M and they have seen the light now.

What are those tests with Android M who would try a battery upgrade? In this case, the leaks refer to tests carried out on the Nexus 5 model, and particularly in standby mode. In fact, Google's own terminal that is already discontinued from its store, but is still a relevant terminal for the brand, would go from being able to spend 200 hours in this mode with Android 5.1.1 to the 500 that it would get with Android M.

While it is true that the stanby mode It does not have to be related to the battery life in other areas and also that it improves in the Nexus 5 would not have to imply an improvement in the rest of the terminals, it is clear that Google is concerned about this aspect, and is working with it within of the update that will involve Android M. That is why I think that assuming that the new operating system will improve the autonomy of mobile terminals in every way could be more than feasible. Of course, you still have a few months of waiting until you can check it on your phone. Everything will depend on the official release schedule, and how long it takes your manufacturer to adapt it to their own user interface. This is good news, although you will have to be patient to see it.
