Unlike the good old cell phones, smartphones often struggle to resist more than 24 hours away from the power sector. Their versatility is their asset, but unfortunately, their autonomy is still quite unsatisfying.
Given this fact, each of us acts differently to handle the matter. While some prefer to recharge their device several times throughout the day, a quick recharging in the midday break to help complete the overnight charging, others are tackling all energy-consuming applications which helped somehow emptying immediately their smartphones battery.
Although for some time now Android incorporated a tool allowing you to know what applications require mostly using the resources of your device (geolocation, background execution, etc ...), and recently published an infographic which shows us the most Android applications that are intensively resource-consuming.
This infographic, divided into two categories, clearly points to Facebook and Spotify as the most demanding applications. Spotify is very greedy, however, it does not open unless requested by the user and does not automatically execute at the launch of the smartphone, unlike Facebook. Moreover, an application running at the launch of the device consumes more resources, because we do not know of its background presence.
The rest of the list contains a wide range of popular applications, including Messenger, Instagram, BBM and Vine in the list of applications that run automatically, in the other side Tumblr, NetFlix and Snapchat are the applications launched by the user. This shows that social networks are largely dominating among the most energy-consuming applications.
This however is not so surprising when one considers that these apps use many device resources to be fully functional and ready at every moment (geolocation, updating in the background, real-time notifications, etc ...).
