Dark theme discharges a battery of smartphones and laptops faster than it was thought before

Most users, switching to dark mode, increase the brightness of the screen that leads to more charge spent.

< p > British engineers conducted a study during which volunteers were asked to open a BBC Sounds media screen and set up a comfortable screen brightness for a light and dark topic, reports 24 Channel with reference to BBC Research & Amp; AMP; AMP; AMP; Development.

< p > it turned out that 80% of the experiment participants significantly increased the brightness of the display after switching to dark mode. As a result instead of energy savings dark topic caused its additional costs.

< P > These results have questioned the widespread belief that the use of dark topic helps to reduce the power consumption of devices.

It turned out that the speed of the site in no way affects energy costs, and the amount of data transmitted has only a small effect.
