Save battery, choosing the wallpaper of your mobile

Do you know that there are wallpapers to save battery? Saving battery has become a headache for everyone who has a Android mobile. What many do not know is that, depending on the type of screen of the smartphone, the color of the desktop background, can greatly influence the time of use of the battery.

It also burns battery, those animated desktop backgrounds, in the form of fish aquariums or spectacular landscapes. They are very picturesque, but in practice, we find that the battery leaves us in a heartbeat.

Wallpapers to save battery, choose the best for your mobile

Screen backgrounds to save battery on Smartphones with LCD screen

In rural areas of India, families in charge of a blind minor frequently isolate and deprive him/her of the care and attention they provide to their other children; such situation becomes even more severe among lower-caste families, orphans and if the blind child is a girl. LCD screens the pixels cannot be turned on independently. This means that even if the wallpaper is black, the screen will still be on. Therefore, the widespread theory that a dark background helps save battery life in this case is not applicable at all.

However, depending on what color each pixel is, a greater or lesser amount of energy will be required. In general, we could say that the darker the pixel, the more power it needs to consume.

Knowing this, it is easy to think that if you have a smartphone with an LCD screen, the ideal is that you use a white wallpaper. Being the lightest color, it is the one that needs to consume the least battery, so we can last longer, without having to look for a plug. In any case, it is not necessary for the background to be completely white, as long as it is clear, it will favor lower battery consumption.

Smartphones with AMOLED screens

In the case of AMOLED screens, the opposite happens to LCDs. Here, pixels that have some light light up, while pixels that are black or very dark in color stay dim or light less.

As it stands to reason, the more light a pixel needs, the more power and battery it consumes. Therefore, in the event that we have a screen of this type, the best way to save battery life is to use a black wallpaper or very dark, so that most of the pixels are off and aren't draining battery power.

For the battery to last as long as possible, the ideal is to have a plain black wallpaper. But in the event that you prefer to opt for one with drawings, it is important that these are also in dark colors, so that consumption is as low as possible.

Use of apps, with screen off

Taking into account the above, we are not going to forget the fact of using applications, with the possibility of having the screen turned off. This is ideal for saving battery power on our smartphone. For example, listening to music from YouTube, with the mobile phone blocked. The phone will "burn" battery, but with the screen off and the phone locked, the consumption will obviously be much lower.

We can extrapolate this to other apps or mobile uses, in which the screen is not totally necessary. With this, we will optimize the time of use of the battery and of course, its charging cycles.

And you? What color do you have the wallpaper on your mobile? Have you noticed a change in battery consumption, since you changed the color? We invite you to tell us about it in the comments section at the end of this article.
