Google Pixel update Brings Battery-Saving ‘Bypass Charging‘
Google’s latest software update for Pixel phones introduces a new feature designed to extend battery life – Bypass Charging. This innovative functionality smartly manages how your phone charges, potentially reducing wear and tear on the battery.
Bypass charging works by temporarily stopping the phone from fully charging when it reaches 80%. Rather,the phone draws power directly from the charger,essentially bypassing the battery for everyday use. This helps prevent the battery from spending extended periods at 100% charge, a scenario known to contribute to battery degradation over time.
While the feature itself is subtle, its impact on long-term battery health could be critically important.This update reflects Google’s commitment to optimizing the Pixel experience, focusing on both performance and longevity.
The Bypass Charging update quietly arrived with the December Pixel drop, highlighting Google’s ongoing effort to improve the user experience through regular software updates.
