Save Battery By Using Pure Black Wallpaper for AMOLED Screens

Hi guys! For ZenFone users with AMOLED screens like ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom, did you know that you can GREATLY save your battery by using a PURE black wallpaper? Yes, it is because

AMOLED displays are 'always off' unless the individual pixels are electrified. This means that AMOLED displays have much purer blacks and consume less energy when black or darker colors are displayed on-screen. - From Types of Screens: AMOLED, IPS, TFT AND RETINA EXPLAINED

So, I created a pure black wallpaper using Adobe Photoshop with a dimension of 1920x1080 (16:9 ratio) and filled it with pure black (#000000) color. By the way, you can download the uncompressed image here for only 6.82 Kb.



And wallah! I was able to save quite a few hours of battery since I started using it (see the "after" screenshot, I was not able to have a "before" screenshot):



Go and try it for yourself and see if there's a significant difference. Don't forget to have screenshot of the before and after battery consumption of your screens. Enjoy!

P.S. You can make a pure black wallpaper by your own. Just make sure it's #000000 black you are using. You can also add some interesting subject to beautify your wallpaper but keep it minimal.
