In the modern era, smartphone users desire for a more long-lasting juice box. Let’s take a look at some factors that influence the battery life in our article below!
How do we attain 3 to 4 days battery life and when?
It is claimed that AMOLED display is more power-efficient than an LCD one. However, it is quite complex and difficult to measure the effect of the screen on the energy box because not only the battery brightness but what is on the display also matter. Take iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus as an example. In a battery test for Web browsing and Video playback, iPhone 8 Plus defeats the iPhone X by over 3hrs. It is possible that iPhone X offers higher resolution and the faceID functions than iPhone 8.
The second components of battery life are 5G & Bluetooth 5.0. One of the consideration in developing the 5G standard is the reduction in the power consumption. Moreover, 5G promises a greater data rate. Besides that, 5G could boost the capacity by 4 times over the current systems. therefore, 5G can enable 20% power saving. In addition, Bluetooth 5.0 standard can also double the BLE data rate.
Furthermore, every chipset comes with an announcement that they “have delivered greater performance at a higher efficiency. “The upcoming Snapdragon 845 platform promises much and “all with extended battery life, so you can keep up with what’s important”. Additionally, Apple is designing its own Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for inclusion in future iPhones to extend battery life by several hours. Besides these factors, other factors such as Wireless Charging technology or Micro LED also have an impact on the battery box.
What to expect in the future?
In 10 years, we can expect a revolution in battery life. At the moment, we might see out smartphones with 3-4 days battery life as a standard. In the future, can it increase up to 7 to 10 days?
