The Android 14 Beta 3 is now here, and with it comes a bunch of new features that we could see roll out to all Android phones following its full release later this year. One such feature that's just been spotted by Android Police involves a small tweak to Battery Saver mode that could seriously help extend your phone's battery life.
It's called wallpaper dimming, and just as the name implies, it makes your phone's wallpaper dimmer than the rest of the UI when Battery Saver is switched on. Your app icons and At a Glance widgets remain unaffected. Before this tweak, the only way to access wallpaper dimming was through Extreme Battery Saver, which slows down your phone's processing and pauses most apps to save power, or the Digital Wellbeing service's Bedtime mode.
That's an impressive feat given that several Android phones already top our list of the best phone battery life. (Note: If you're currently having issues with your phone running out of juice, here's how to check Android battery health.)
