buying new phone, looking for some help

[thejuice]

Does anyone know why background processes get terminated when users switch between apps/ or tabs on a browser? It seems a uniquely mobile issue. Something im considering when looking at a new phone.

N.B. Im fairly beginner at tech, Im learning as i go.

"High-frequency PWM dimming, equipped with a 3240Hz Risk-Free Eye-Care Display, certified by TÜV Rheinland flicker-free for its commitment to reducing eye strain."

Anyone know if this Is this cutting edge? Its a fairly low to mid level phone, its on a modest deal currently, the thing i care most about is eye strain and accessibility features for Irlens Syndrome. So good 'read aloud' and good customisation of fonts and colours and high end resolution a must. (ideally id get an Iphone because of it unlimited ability to change background colours baked into the system, but they are eye wateringly expensive and if i get an old one: the Operating System will not be supported for very long)

edit: i saw a bad review of that phone

Could that have something to do with "Android Adaptive Battery" ?

(Just guessing here...as I'm not a cellphone user.) Sounds like a good mobile feature to have.

A feature found in "settings" that helps to extend a phone's battery life by adjusting to your phone usage and habits. Effectively limiting select background processes. Though turning it off may have more consequences than turning it on, depending on how you use your cellphone relative to battery depletion.

"The most common way Adaptive Battery saves battery life is by restricting how apps run in the background. When Adaptive Battery is turned on and an app has an outsized footprint, you’ll get a notification with the option to put it to sleep.

Over time, Adaptive Battery learns which apps are the worst offenders and limits some of their functions. This doesn’t affect your phone’s performance, but it does mean your battery won’t drain drastically when your phone is idle."

Interesting will look into that thanks @Judge ! Just been fishing around my current phone settings and realised it's running at 60hz instead of 120hz, which can't have been good for eye strain!!

Oh yes...on any monitor I know that a higher refresh rate goes a long way when it comes to eye strain. Well done!

Only 4 years later on a broken phone! Ah well better late than never!! It does feel slicker now, but it could be placebo effect.

I'm trying to run an old Nokia 130 until I get a new smart phone, found a charger that fits the nokia phone charge port. Bit worried it might fry the thing if it's wrong charger and it is too powerful. Should have paid attention in physics when they were teaching about electricity...
