Power-conserving chip may increase smartphone battery life

Beating battery drain: Power-conserving chip may increase smartphone battery life

Stream video on your smartphone, or use its GPS for an hour or two, and you’ll probably see the battery drain significantly. As data rates climb and smartphones adopt more power-hungry features, battery life has become a concern. Now a technology developed by MIT spinout Eta Devices could help a phone’s battery last perhaps twice …
