One of the new features discovered last week during the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK flood was Battery Power Sense. This feature was described as “Data Sense for the battery,” but not much else was known. Today a few more details have come out to clear up the picture on Battery Power Sense. Like everything else in Windows Phone 8.1, it is sounding great.
Currently there is a section in the Settings called “battery saver.” In there you can put your phone into low-power state to conserve as much battery as possible. You can still receive calls and texts, but everything else is basically turned off unless you specifically access an app. This is already a very handy feature, but Battery Power Sense is taking Battery Saver to the next level.
Battery Power Sense will allow for even more user customization. Instead of only calls and texts working in Battery Saver mode you will be able to allow other apps to work. This will be especially useful for people who use messaging apps for communication. Battery Saver is already one of the best features unique to Windows Phone. With these new options it will be even better.
