Nearing the end - battery reduces to about 2% at 6:50 PM: Start - fully charged - opened the long Youtube video at 12:29 PM (this test was done a few days after the WIFI test, many reboots in between so no likely cache effects) as per screenshot below: Bluetooth Interenet on Android battery consumption results WIFI Youtube test summary: Total battery life was 5 hours and 6 minutes (total 306 minutes). The phone powered off at somewhere before 10:15 AM (missed the moment but at 10:15 AM the screen was already off - so let’s assume 10:15 anyway). Nearing the end - battery reduces to about 4% at 10:04 AM: Start - fully charged, opened the long Youtube video at 5:09 AM as per screenshot below: WIFI on Android battery consumption results The Youtube video used is a 9 hour ocean video linked here.
We also put the phone in airplane mode to remove the factor/effects of mobile-network power consumption. We reduced the screen brighness to the minimum to reduce the effects of hours of screen-power-consumtion. We used a Sony Xperia V, fully charged and opened a 9-hour youtube video until battery finishes and phone powers off.īoth the WIFI Access Point and the EcoDroidLink Bluetooth Access Point were placed next to each other, in our guest room which has a small walk way, passing a small bathroom in the middle, to our computer room where we place the Android phone to test. For most daily use, we’d prefer an eco-friendly less-fuel-consuming car (which has lower top-speed) over a big-engined car with great top-speed but consumes like 26% more fuel to do the same job! Please note that WIFI’s maximum speed/throughput is much faster than Bluetooth (about 1.7 Mbps on ), but normally Bluetooth is fast-enough - we open Youtube HQ with no lag - instant messaging and web-browsing is fast and responsive via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth Internet’s source is an ADSL Router/Modem via LAN to Android via Bluetooth (also know as “reverse tethering via Bluetooth”) using our EcoDroidLink Bluetooth Access Point. Have you ever tried Bluetooth Internet (instead of WIFI) on your android phone/tablet? Here we show the battery-saving effects of using Bluetooth Internet compared to the contemporary WIFI Internet.
