There is an opinion that a dark theme on a smartphone can help save battery life, but is this really true?
Digital experts have answered this question.
In particular, it is believed that on devices with OLED screens, a dark theme can actually help save a little battery, namely 15-63 percent.
However, it is very important to take into account which application is currently being used.
Expert opinion
At the same time, devices equipped with LCD screens consumed their battery just as intensively in the dark theme as in the light one.
Studies conducted on this issue have shown that when the brightness of the phone screen does not exceed 30-50 percent, the battery consumes its charge by 3-9 percent less.
Accordingly, as analysts emphasized, there is no point in such savings, since their results are insignificant in real conditions.
According to experts, it is recommended to reduce display brightness and processor frequency whenever possible, as well as eliminate background application activity.
This is the only way, analysts believe, that it will be possible to save the device’s battery.
