Qualcomm Launches its Snapdragon Battery Guru App

One of the giant chip manufacturer Qualcomm has launched an Android app that improves the battery life for devices powered by its Snapdragon chipset Processor.

The app Snapdragon BatteryGuru, is available free on the Google Play Store, works with both hardware and software to maximize power cell longevity by intelligently adjusting the device settings without disabling its often used features.

The app 'studies' users behavior and tweaks internal settings such as sync frequencies of apps accordingly, saving valuable charge from being expended needlessly as the device connects to Wi-Fi and mobile networks to update.

Since its launch, the app has seen over 100,000 downloads and is said to optimize performance offered by Android devices featuring the  integrated modem that comes as part of the Snapdragon chipset.

Qualcomm recently posted test results illustrating the low-power consuming qualities of its wares in which it was demonstrated that a device running a dual-core Snapdragon chip clocked at 1.2GHz used 42% less power than a non-Snapdragon competitor. Both handsets were fed the same voltage of 3.7v as a control during the experiment.

Snapdragon BatteryGuru was  initially released as a beta version in February of this year as part of Qualcomm's efforts to combine efficient and powerful processing with smartphone stamina.

The CPU giant says that its BatteryGuru app will work alongside its processors to extend the use smartphone owners get from their devices from a single charge, something that will no doubt be a boon to users for whom short battery life has been a bugbear since the advent of smartphones.

Below is a video on How the app works.
