First, it’s becoming better at conserving battery life through what Google calls an adaptive battery. This is going help you see a 30% reduction in CPU app wake-ups for apps that the operating system predicts you won’t actually use for the rest of the day.

Google is also getting smarter when it lights up the screen. In addition to taking into account your environment, adaptive brightness is learning your own personal preferences. Can we all just appreciate this intelligence?
