Samsung with a new Galaxy S5 tried to optimize energy
consumption and in addition to the integrated power saving modes that modify
radically the user interface making it black and white and facilitated with Ui
(Ultra Power Saving Mode) has also introduced other measures in order to make
the Galaxy S5 one of the most optimized from the point of view of consumption.
Thanks to the partnership with LucidLogix, three interesting
features dedicated to energy savings have been introduced in the new top of the
range NavExtend, WebExtend and GamExtend . NavExtend works to improve power
during navigation when using GPS, acting on the frequencies of the GPU so that
they correspond exactly to the bare minimum required by the navigation
software, ensuring that the graphics travel at full load, which causes a fast
overheating of the device and a faster consumption of the battery.
Similarly, WebExtend handles combine CPU and GPU in order to
allow its use at lower frequencies, always in view to saving energy. Both
solutions are able to provide a reduction in fuel consumption of approximately
25% and are currently compatible with most browsers and browsers available on
Android. The last solution, GamExtend, it is not just a novelty as it is already
being adopted by Galaxy Note 3 and is concerned with optimally manage the
device when it is subjected to heavy workloads such as gaming. The combination
of technologies provided by Lucid and optimizations Samsung could make record
performance 2800 mAh battery of the device beyond what you might expect. Just
can not obviously fail to fully test this aspect.
