Save battery completely controlling your screen brightness with Lux
In two years, the size and quality of the screens have advanced at an astounding rate. It seems the last century, but the Nexus One, launched in 2010, had a screen of 3.7 “and a resolution of 480 x 800, while its descendant, the Galaxy Nexus, has grown almost an inch and has significantly improved its resolution to 1280 x 720.
Not only have they changed the sizes and resolutions, but also the technology. The Nexus One had an AMOLED screen that then seemed to be spectacular, however, the HTC One X has a technology, Super LCD 2, which provides a colorful and spectacular viewing angle.
The trouble is that both increased resolution screens and increased battery drain, the section in which we virtually unchanged in those days. So we can not be wearing the screen completely because you have to constantly control the shine. To facilitate this, I present Lux, an application with which we can regulate the levels of brightness in different lighting conditions without requiring root access on our device.
As I said, the highlight of this application is no need for root access, which seems to be a prerequisite for applications such as regulating the brightness values.
It can create different profiles that regulate the level of brightness depending on the amount of light received by the light sensor, which is incorporated into the device. Likewise, we can create levels depending on the amount of light perceived by the camera, a useful feature that helps to make it even more precise in operation.
As we can find some other features, such as options under the terminal to keep the brightness at 100% while connected to the charger. In addition, also features a very functional widget that will allow us to handle various aspects of the brightness of the screen as automatic mode, switch between different profiles, etc.
The truth is an absolute last because devices with screens that we see, we could reach the perfect balance between battery consumption and the minimum visibility we would like to have, which until now was only possible with root access. Also, if we are in a very dark place and do not want just light, we can reach even lower levels than the default system allows us, saving even more battery.
The trouble is that apart from being in English, the free version is quite limited, leaving the application in a virtual demo. In case you think of purchasing the paid version will have a cost of 1.18 €.
