Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Improves Samsung Galaxy A8, Galaxy J5, Galaxy Note 5 Battery Life?
Are you searching for handsets whose battery life gives value to your every penny? Well, you might want to check out the latest offerings in the Samsung Galaxy series.
Samsung Galaxy devices running on the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, have shown to last relatively longer than other Android devices regardless of their batteries' sizes, a recent report has claimed.
Sam Mobile has been testing the Galaxy A8 and the Galaxy J5. They were impressed with both devices' battery performance when in use as well as during stand-by mode.
Testers said they rarely access the handsets' power-saving option as the smartphones only consume two to four percent of their battery juices when left alone overnight. On a good day, the Galaxy J5 only loses one percent of its charge in a span of eight hours.
Are these mere coincidences and not at all caused by handsets' built-in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS?
Well, a test result of Samsung's latest tablet is sure to silence the doubters.
Another mobile-savvy website tested the battery lives of a bunch of smartphones with a keen focus on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
To recall, the Note 5 was released with no micro-SD card slot capabilities and without a removable dry cell. Its built-in power source was 3,000 mAh battery, 220 mAh less than the Note 4. So naturally, fans were upset that given the smaller battery coupled with newer, hence more power-consuming features, the latest Note offering would be a letdown. It only boasted a built-in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to help its cause.
As for the result of the battery test, the Note 5 actually faired noticeably better than the Note 4, Phone Arena reported.
"How much better, though? Well, not too much, but that's still something considering the drop in capacity - 9 hours and 11 minutes. That's nearly half an hour on top of the Note 4's score of 8 hours and 43 minutes. Of course, that's still below the extraordinary results the Galaxy S6 Active (3,500 mAh battery) achieved, or the Motorola DROID Turbo (3,900 mAh), but better than other competing, high-profile devices like the HTC One M9, the LG G4, and the iPhone 6 Plus," explained the tech site.
Other devices, which have the Android 5.1.1 as its built-in OS, include the Moto G 3rd Gen and the OnePlus 2. Both devices have also been revered for their battery performance.
With this current observation, it is safe to assume that the next batch of Android gadgets will fair better in the endurance category than their predecessors.
