Instead of relying on alarm clocks, Google improves the adaptive charging mechanism for Pixel phones

CTOnews.com, March 27 (Xinhua)-- Google has improved the adaptive charging (Adaptive Charging) mechanism on Pixel smartphones so that it no longer needs to rely on alarm clocks, according to foreign technology media 9to5Google.

The main purpose of the adaptive charging mechanism is to extend the life of the phone's battery. Users charge the phone between 9 pm and 4 am, and the alarm clock is set between 3 am and 10:00, so the phone will only charge 80% before the alarm clock rings, and will continue to charge after the alarm clock rings.

Google introduced an adaptive charging mechanism in 2020, which used to range from 5 a.m. to 10:00, but then changed to 3 a.m. to 10:00 If the user had not manually set the alarm clock before, the adaptive charging mechanism would not be enabled.

The description of the adaptive charging mechanism has been replaced by "fully charged according to your alarm clock after you get up" with "activated according to your phone's life cycle".
