Know Which mobile apps Consume your battery most???

Hello friends Do you know which consume your phone battery The anti-virus company AVG Technologies has released its latest report on which Android applications are the most likely to  chew through your phone’s data storage, battery life, and data plan. The combined data set is quite interesting, particularly since some of the worst offenders aren’t necessarily applications you’d think of.

AVG collected data on users in the United States, Australia, and the UK and found it was statistically significant enough to draw conclusions from. Data-plan traffic only included transfers over cellular networks, and the storage evaluation included data that the app downloaded after install — not just the listed size in the Google Play store.

First, the high-level overview:

This table doesn’t include games, which are broken out in their own separate category. The Candy Crush games are particular offenders, in terms of performance impact and battery drain. But there are some notable oddities — the New Words With Friends, for example, chew through far more data traffic than a game like Clash of Clans.

The fact that Solitaire shows up on this list might seem curious, but I think we can explain it. Several years ago, a group of researchers from Purdue University and Microsoft built a fine-grained energy profiling tool and used it to evaluate multiple free applications. What they found is that 65 to 75 percent of the energy expenditure of free apps was spent loading third-party advertising modules — mostly due to data transfers. Solitaire may not put much load on the battery, but its high data use suggests the application is continuously transferring advertising datasource: extremtech.com
