- A new pixel clock function has been found in APK disassembly
- The adaptive load will use AI to load your watch more efficiently, extending its useful life
- The function is already used in pixels
Google Pixel watches are consistently between our list of the best Android smart watches and qualify very much in reviews, but we are always a bit disappointed by the battery life. Compared to the watches that last a couple of days, even 24 hours of Google Pixel Watch 3 with an always enabled screen seems a bit mediocre.
A new feature could be added to the Pixel Watch 3 that will improve battery health and general useful life, although it will probably not change how long its watch will last among the charges directly. During an APK disassembly, a process in which the code of an application is examined to predict new features that could reach in the future, Android Authority discovered a hidden part of code that refers to an adaptive load function.
The adaptive load is an automatic learning feature that is used in pixels, which learns your load habits and charges the phone at different rates depending on its use. If it connects it during the night, the phone will eventually be loaded slowly at the moment, while if it tends to overcome it at regular intervals, the battery will load quickly.
This is done to extend the general useful life of the device, reducing both energy consumption and electronic waste. It also prevents the battery from deteriorating so fast.
It is not confirmed that the function will reach pixels watches, but it would be a welcome addition. We would like the function to come hand in hand with adaptive battery, another pixel feature that uses similar automatic learning to sleep the applications little used to avoid battery drainage. This would extend the life of the clock between the charges, possibly helping Google to reach the 36 -hour Apple Watch Ultra 2 hours.
Address electronic waste in wearables
The adaptive load will prevent battery degradation and reduce electronic waste, both very important problems that affect the world of wearables at this time. We live at a time when smart watches do not have replaceable batteries, new products are presented every year and the old ones deteriorate rapidly.
Similar problems are produced with the best headphones and the best smart rings: if smart watch manufacturers are not willing to create their watches with easily replaceable batteries, extending their useful life will be key. And who does not want their devices to last longer, which means they have a better value for money?
