Renowned smartphones fromOnePlus, Nokia, & Xiaomiare often compared with premium smartphones, with its users boasting about these devices’ extraordinary battery performance.
Now, a website namedDontKillMyApp.com, launched by the Urbandroid team, is trying tobring out the truthbehind theunnatural battery performanceof these devices.
The website lists top OEMs of the market that employ cheap tactics to limit background process, bringing out extra juice out of the device’s battery.
Thebiggest offenderin this case is Nokia,which uses a sneaky “Battery protection” app that kills all the background processes within 20 minutes the screen is turned off. Jiri Richter, from the Urbandroid team, told Android Police that Nokia’s shameless tactics are the reason the team had to come up with the project.
According to Don’t kill my app, thesecond biggest offenderisOnePlus. The site claims that many apps on OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6 face difficulty in working correctly because of UI’s critical background limiting.
The page also serves mouthpiece for hundreds of app developers whose Android apps are affected by such shady battery saving tactics. They want users to know thatsmartphonevendors are possibly to blamewhen their apps are not performing as expected.
Similarly,we have often toldthat abruptly killing apps is not a wise option for saving battery, since it can lead to glitches in the app.
