OnePlus is developing a new Video Battery Saver feature to reduce battery drain in specific video playback apps. This feature, currently in progress, may be included in the upcoming Android 15 update for OnePlus devices.
An APK teardown can provide insights into potential features that may be introduced in the future based on code that is still under development. However, it’s important to note that not all predicted features may ultimately be released to the public.
Video Battery Saver: A Glimpse into the Future
The Video Battery Saver feature was discovered in the second Android 15 beta update for the OnePlus 12. This feature is designed to optimize battery usage when a supported video app is actively draining the device’s battery.
While the exact details of the battery optimizations are not fully disclosed, it is mentioned that the feature may impact the quality of video playback, audio, and haptics. As the feature is still in development, it remains to be seen whether the battery savings will outweigh any potential trade-offs in user experience.
Charging Limit: Prolonging Battery Lifespan
In addition to the Video Battery Saver feature, the latest Android 15 beta update for OnePlus also hints at an upcoming Charging Limit feature. This feature will limit the battery level to 80% when a device has been charging for an extended period to help prolong battery lifespan.
