With that backdrop in mind, we teamed up with the Wirecutter, a product recommendations website, to run an array of tests to determine best and worst practices for preserving battery life on smartphones. For those who still need extra juice, the Wirecutter also picked some external battery products.
了解了這個背景,我們與產品推薦網站the Wirecutter聯系,做了一系列實驗,找到為智能手機省電的最好辦法。對于希望額外電量的人,Wirecutter還提供了一些充電寶類的產品。
The results showed that some conventional beliefs about extending battery life — like turning off Wi-Fi or shutting down all your phone’s apps — produced negligible or even harmful results. The Wirecutter also found plenty of helpful practices to get more use out of your battery, like playing music stored directly on the device (instead of streaming it) or tweaking email configurations.
實驗結果表明,某些傳統的省電方式――諸如關閉Wi-Fi或關閉手機應用――被證明沒有用處,甚至是有害的。Wirecutter還發現了很多有用的做法,可以更經濟地使用電池,比如把音樂直接存儲在設備里(不要用流媒體收聽)或優化郵件設置。
The Wirecutter tested a range of recent Apple and Android smartphones with the latest operating systems in tightly controlled environments. Your phone’s results will vary depending on the phone model, cellular carrier, location and other factors, but the general results should hold. Here are eight tips and seven myths busted by our findings:
Wirecutter在嚴格控制的環境下測試了一系列安裝了最新操作系統的最新版本蘋果手機和安卓智能手機。在你的手機上使用效果如何,可能取決于手機型號、手機運營商、位置與其他因素,但是大致結果應當是不變的。下面是我們發現的8條省電小貼士與7條被證明錯誤的說法:
