The developer's Google message is about dark topics

Google's video is bright and it's bright to warm the developers to use dark topics.

Why? Dark topics increase the battery life of our smartphones. This has been uploaded to Google's Android Dev Sumit this month. Google recognizes the values ​​of dark topics in Android apps. Going to rejuvenate dark topics in Android applications has strengthened the chart by comparing battery drains and winnings associated with different colors

KSDA Developers cites some of Google's discoveries: light affects the power consumption and battery life in a largely linear manner; even with maximum illumination, a dark subject can reduce battery usage by up to 63% on AMOLED displays; pixel color value can affect energy consumption, "with white color that is the highest power."

Chris Burns in SlashGear commented on the findings. "The first and most obvious data Google shared was the brightness and power of the screen, which should be quite obvious – more lightening means faster drawing power. They found that this is not always perfectly linear – but it is so close to linear that it could have been well line, one by one. "

After all, research can now quantify battery savings included in darker interfaces, so why not?

After all? He said numerous tech writers: Ghost. We knew that.

Chris Velch and The Verge: "For a long time we knew that applications in the dark mode / night mode could extend the battery life of smartphones with OLED screens … some pixels have to work less in the dark areas of the screen."

Antonio Villas-Boas in Business Insider: "Dark mode is an option that changes the overall color theme for the operating system or application to black. It has long been associated with better battery life on devices, especially mobile devices."

Writers who thought about Google's attitudes to dark topics recorded this as an option. Vaidianathan Subramaniam in Notebookcheck: "I hope this means that the future Android versions will have the option of the original" Dark Mode "level on the OS."

Arol Wright KSDA Developers pointed out that Google's tampering with dark topics was not completely out of the blue (forgive the color reference) because the steps in that direction have already been highlighted. "Google has recently begun to introduce darkening regimes on several of its applications, especially including Messages and IouTube, a move that many energy users and regular consumers have welcomed. Now, they seem to be actively advocating for developers to introduce dark regimes and their applications. "

In the meantime, "It's good to remember that the dark topic will not suit everyone," wrote Fazeel Ashraf TechEngage, which is still one of the reasons for advocating an idea of ​​options. "To have white text on a black background is not every glass of tea … However, giving users the ability to choose not to hurt anyone."

Readers' comments on the Google pep talk about battery life and themes were more emotional, that time was something they said. "Over 10 years, it's too late. Your teammate finally came to the same result and millions of others arrived when Android fell?" there was one such commentary reader KSDA Developers.

What's next? Arol Wright KSDA Developers she had the answer. "Given Google's new attitude on this topic, we should see even darker Google apps in the coming months – and perhaps, finally, a full-fledged system-wide dark mode for Android that applies everywhere." Vright's advice was: "If you are a programmer, then it would be good to work in the dark mode for your application, at least as a switch.
