Pixoff: Battery Saver AMOLED

Top Pro

Also works as night-time dimmer

Some screens are too bright for night-time use, even at minimum brightness. Because Pixoff turns off pixels, you can effectively reduce screen brightness below the minimum amount. See More

Top Con

Only works on Amoled displays

Pixoff makes use of Amoled's unique ability to individually turn off pixels, and won't work on LCD (IPS) panels. See More

Top Pro

Easy to put the wallpaper to pure black

There is a configurable option to separately and fully put the wallpaper to pure black in order to help save battery life. This is configurable depending on the level of battery. See More

Top Pro

Ability to set your own pattern of pixels off

Top Pro

Four types of predefined patterns and simple configuration

Top Pro

Automatic setting if the battery is low

Configurable functionality

Top Pro

Hibernate overly active apps to save battery

Greenify's mane function is to hibernate any installed apps. This allows users to to quell overly active apps that are draining their battery without having to delete them. This can be done with or without ROOT. See More

Top Con

Greenifying without ROOT has to be done manually each time

When using Greenify without ROOT access to hibernate apps, it has to be done manually each time. There is a widget and shortcut that users can set to their home screen to make this action a bit easier though. See More

Top Pro

Even works without ROOT

Greenify even offers battery savings to non ROOT devices, though it may be limited compared to what can be done with ROOT and Xposed. See More

Top Pro

Has extra experimental features over the free version

The Greenify (Donation Package) has a few extra experimental features that the free version does not offer. They require ROOT and the Xposed module to be installed. Using these features can help with the compatibility of the rest of the Greenify app, which is a big plus. See More

Pixel OFF Save Battery AMOLED

Add Video or Image

Top Con

Reduces picture quality

Because it overlays a very thin black grid, it is effectively reducing the resolution of the display...however the pixels won't be spaced out properly (for example instead of having 8 pixels evenly spread out, now you could have 4 regular pixels followed by a black pixel, followed by 4 more pixels and another black pixel. This will distort the image. See More

Top Pro

Adjustable agressiveness

There are 5 levels to choose from - Mesh 1 is the lowest setting, and Mesh 5 is the most aggressive. You can choose which level to run at to best compromise between battery life and picture quality. See More

Top Pro

Reduces power needed by the display

Pixel OFF basically overlays a black grid over the existing picture to prevent some pixels from lighting up at all. This reduces the overall power draw from the display See More

Clean Master

Add Video or Image

Top Con

Almost zero benefit

Clean Master and similar apps were popular when Android still had memory problems (more than 2 years ago). Since then, virtually everything Clean Master does has been added into the base Android code. You can clear RAM through the settings on your phone if you feel the need, however Android is now smart enough to remove apps from RAM when needed (when more RAM is required by other more recently used apps, or when the background apps are taking up too many resources). If anything, Clean Master takes more battery because it's constantly scanning, and any app it removes from RAM will have to be re-loaded in the future which defeats the purpose of more RAM (not to mention re-starting an app taxes the processor, draining battery faster). As the saying goes, "free RAM is wasted RAM". See More

Top Pro

The selection of the app to be suspended is smart

Everything continues to work. See More

Top Pro

Can hybernate / suspend permanently other apps

The battery charge benefits a lot. See More
