According to recent findings in the Android 15 code, a future feature could be beneficial for the autonomy of your smartphone, by intelligently activating the sleep of your screen.
As our smartphones become more and more powerful, they consume more and more battery power, despite ever more energy efficient mobile chips.
Preserving battery life is above all a matter of good habits, but also of a more intelligent system. Both Apple and Google know this, each implementing features to gain both autonomy and preserve battery capacity over time.
Android 15 should once again offer an option to preserve your battery, this time linked to putting the screen to sleep.
Adaptive monitoring to gain autonomy
The “adaptive sleep” feature was detected in the second Developer Preview of Android 15 by specialist Mishaal Rahman on the Android Authority site. This one “automatically turns off your screen if you are not using your device ».
Currently, you can set a specific duration until your screen goes to sleep when the smartphone is not in use. This “adaptive sleep” could be based on another Android feature, “Screen attention”, which would allow your smartphone to detect when you are no longer looking at it and then turn off the screen.
The functionality would offer both more security for your smartphone, which would therefore be protected against prying eyes, but also greater autonomy if you are not used to turning off the screen manually.
Only for Pixels?
However, adaptive sleep should not be available for all smartphones running Android. In his research, Mishaal Rahman indicates that the functionality will not integrate ASOP, the open source version of Android, but only the versions intended for Pixel smartphones.
