Smartphone battery life will be better than Google's dark mode

Google has finally confirmed that their dark mode Android phone takes less power and saves batteries.

During this week's Android Summit, Google reported how our smartphone consumes battery.They told all the developers what they can do in their app so that their app could use the least amount of battery. According to the report of Slash Gear, this thing is not limited to apps only. The biggest reason for the battery is ending - screen brightness! And not just the brightness, but the color of the screen is also responsible for battery life.

Dark mode darkens the color of the OS theme's colors and colors. If we look at YouTube, their app usually uses white color. In a presentation Google showed that using dark mode in YouTube is now reduced by 43 percent of battery usage.

Google started 'Material Design', since then he has put a lot of emphasis on the use of white and also asked the developers to use white color.

Apple's New App "Move to iOS" Will Make Android to iOS Transition a Bit Easier

Apple announced that it is releasing a new app in the Google Play store caleed “Move to iOS” to help Android owners to dump their phones in favor of the new iPhones. The app will transfer photos, messages and other data from an Android phone or tablet to an iOS device.

“You can recycle your Android phone for free at any Apple Store,” the app helpfully notes at one point during the transfer process.

During the company’s event, Apple executive Eddy Cue claimed that an increasing number of Android owners are switching to iPhone. Making that process even simpler is just “the neighborly thing to do,” Cue said.

Globally, the vast majority of smartphones run on Android.

Google's New OS, the Android Marshmallow 6.0 Comes with Exciting Features

The Android M 6.0 update for Google's mobile operating system, was unveiled at the 2015 I/O Conference.

The notable features of the Marshmallow 6.0 are listed below:

1. Google Translation

Users no longer have to go to the Translate app to look up a following word, as holding finger on a certain word now presents the option of interpreting it via Google Translate. For instance, if you are reading something, and you come across a foreign word that you cannot comprehend, all you need to do is long-press that particular word and the device would present you with the option of translating it.

2. Chrome Custom Tabs

In Google's current OS, the Android Lollipop, clicking on a link within an application opens the Chrome browser. This is not the case for the Android M, which will make Chrome function along with the app. So if you click a link within an app, it will not launch Chrome separately but will instead display a Web view within the app.

3. App Permissions

In the new OS, users have the ability to deny permission to apps trying to obtain personal information. However, it should be noted that if you do not grant permission, some of the certain parts of the app might not work normally. Users can also allow access during the app's installation process and then disable it later, the news outlet noted.

4. Battery Manager

If your phone run out of battery then Doze app will automatically cut off some of the device's processes minimizing battery consumption. The handset will snap out of its Doze state once a priority notification or alarm goes off.

5. Emergency Service

Android M also has a newly enabled feature that shows an overview of Google Maps whenever users call 911 or the emergency number of their residence. In this feature, the emergency service and Google Maps work by displaying "the emergency service center they're connected with during a call," with the current location and information of the caller also shown on the map "so they can more easily give those specific details to the emergency dispatch person on the line with them," Android Headlines wrote. This way, help can be dispatched quicker to those in dire need of it.

6. Android Pay

With Android Pay, users can now incorporate their credit and debit cards with their handsets to create a virtual account number, put it near a contactless terminal, and pay for their purchase.

Nextbit Unveils “Cloud-first” Smartphone - Robin

Nextbit, a mobile developer that was created by former Google, Apple, Amazon, and HTC employees, has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for its new Android smartphone, Robin.

It offers 32GB of internal storage alongwith 100GB of online storage absolutely free. If the Robin determines that you may not need something on your phone because you don’t use it often, it will automatically upload the content to the cloud. The infinite storage “smarter” smartphone’s Kickstarter campaign is already well past its funding goal of $500,000 with 28 days left to go.

The idea behind the Nextbit Robin is that rather than you having to decide what to keep in the cloud, the software does it for you in a seamless and autonomous way.

Speaking of hardware, the Robin is a uniquely designed mid-range Android phone. While that’s nothing new, what sets Robin apart is that it learns from you, adapts to you, and does the clean up for you. Tapping on a removed app re-downloads and installs the app from Nextbit’s cloud, merges it with the personal data stored on the phone, and launches.

As the Robin offloads data and apps not regularly accessed by users into the cloud, they remain accessible but do not take up storage space needed by more regularly accessed apps and files. Nextbit Robin will hit general retail in Q1 2016, for $399 (£260). “And when you want any of it, you’ll get it back just it was before”. Nextbit insists its solution is superior, however, as it seamlessly backs things up whenever ideal conditions are met (Wi-Fi connection, phone is plugged in) and users don’t have to remember to open an app to make sure their photos are backed up.

The Robin is Nextbit’s first phone, but the developers have been involved in the production of phones including the HTC One M7 and M8, along with earlier phones including the HTC Evo and G1.

Everyone’s had their phone run out of storage before and it’s frustrating as hell trying to figure out what to delete. Robin’s reliance on cloud-based storage could provide an answer to consumers who are frustrated by the lack of microSD slots on modern devices, or those who constantly run out of space.

Nextbit’s CEO Tom Moss says that the company is trying to do something different to tackle what he calls “phone fatigue”. Nextbit has built Robin on this cloud USP and thus it is very unlikely that the company would try to make some extra bucks by offering more space. The back of the phone is home to a 13-megapixel rear camera with phase detection autofocus and RAW support as as well as four LEDs that light up when you’re connected to the cloud.

The team from Nextbit also said that this tech could be used for other purposes, such as optimizing your photos for you or maintaining the out-of-the-box speed you get on a new phone, but reps refrained from making any concrete promises.

Blackberry Plans to Launch First Ever Android-Running Smartphone Venice

Blackberry is planning launch its first phone 'Venice' powered by Android. A leaked image shows a phone similar to Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge, with curved sides. It is said that the handset could be the company's last attempt to revive itself following disastrous sales of its own BB10 touchscreen handsets.

According to Evan Blass, who posted the images and is well known for leaks of new handsets, it will be launched on AT&T and is codenamed Venice.

BlackBerry, which once dominated smartphone sales, now has a market share of less than 1 percent.

BlackBerry briefly showed off the slider device on stage at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March, but it has provided little detail on it since then.
By making an Android device that boasts a large touchscreen and a physical keyboard, BlackBerry hopes to snag a niche in the touchscreen-dominated Android market. The device may attract those still using older BlackBerry keyboard handhelds but who want access to the larger app options Android offers.
