At the end of 2020, Google introduced a new feature for its Pixels. This feature, called “Adaptive Charging”, prevents smartphones from charging by 80% to preserve battery life. It is especially active at night, Prevent it from spending too much time to get maximum energy. Despite everything, the user benefits from 100% battery the next day, thanks to artificial intelligence. slows down charging to complete a few minutes before waking up.
Only available on the Pixel 3, Pixel 4, and Pixel 5, Google has been relatively cautious about this feature. And for good reason: does not work exactly as expected. First, because it requires very special conditions, Start charging after 9pm and set an alarm between 5am and 10am.. Since minor optimizations are still needed afterwards. According to users of the latest Android 12 beta, it is now over.
Google is developing Adaptive Charge for Android 12
Concretely, the Charging Adaptive feature works the same as before. On the other hand, charging is much slower above 80%. According to Reddit members, their Pixel reached 100% battery 30 to 90 minutes before waking up; This is much better results than those achieved just a few weeks ago.
“In Android 12, Settings allows us to see battery usage over the last 24 hours, including charging sessions”explains one of them. “So I was able to notice that even with adaptive charging enabled, the Pixel charges quickly to 80% (like in Android 11) and then slows down until you wake up, like in Android 11. But it goes much slower : It charges only half an hour before you need to wake up.”.
Another states that “It charges quickly to 80% and waits about 3.5 hours until you wake up. “It then charges at 6% per hour for about 90 minutes (so until it reaches 90%), then it charges at about 25% per hour for about 30 minutes until it is fully charged, which ends about 90 minutes before you wake up.”
