Android 15 boosts battery ‘standby’ by 3 hours

Google has recently released the second Beta of Android 15 to Pixel devices. It has been revealed that select phones with Android 15 will offer up to 3 hours longer standby battery life. The company has worked on the doze mode to extend standby battery life.

Android 15 increases standby battery life by up to 3 hours on some devices. Wear OS 5 is slated to consume up to 20% less power than Wear OS 4. AndroidAuthority asked Google executives about the work they had done to improve the battery life on the latest operating system.

The company has improved the doze mode in Android 15. As a result, some general power-saving improvements will come to all Android devices in the future. The new OS increased the doze mode entry 50% faster than Android 14, resulting in an extended standby battery.

Being a core Android feature, all devices (non-Pixel too) will experience longer standby battery. Samsung has greatly optimized the chipset and OS in recent Galaxy flagships. The Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra are champs of Android camp in terms of longer battery life.

Apple will have another headache, thanks to meaningful enhancements toward consumer satisfaction. iPhones were quite praised due to their longer battery life. While standby battery life doesn’t bring a notable change in daily use cases, it’s still a welcome upgrade.

• “For Android 15, we’ve sped up the time to doze (doze is when we go into a quiesce state) by 50%. So we get into doze 50% faster, and the result is on some devices we tested up to 3 hours longer standby power. And that’s sort of a general improvement in 15 that applies to all devices.” Dave Burke, VP of Engineering for the Android Platform.
