GOOGLE CONFIRMS DARK MODE ON ANDROID PHONES SAVES BATTERY LIFE

Google at the ongoing Android Development Summit 2018, Day 2 Theatre 1 Live streaming on YouTube showcased how the “dark mode” option on mobile operating systems and apps uses less power and drains battery less quickly.
The company acknowledged it made a mistake in encouraging app developers to use the color white, which drains more power than darker colors. The dark mode option changes the primary color theme of an app to the color black.
Dark mode is an option that changes the overall color theme of an operating system or app to the color black. It’s long been associated with better battery life on devices, especially mobile devices. Nevertheless, the benefits of dark mode are now officially endorsed by Google, one of the most influential tech companies in the world.
