How much does wallpapers mean to your device?

Many people doesn't know this, but wallpapers means a lot to your device especially when it comes to the battery and the lifespan of the screen itself.

Battery

The battery is significantly affected by a wallpaper, both the overall lifespan and the capacity. Reason being is it takes a lot of energy to give the screen both light and the colors, for example if you are watching a movie or a video in a high saturated setting combined with a high resolution setting, it drastically decreases the battery level on the device, which means you have to charge it more often. A wallpaper with bright color tones usually takes up a lot of the battery, because the wallpaper constantly needs a lot of energy from the battery to show its colors. On the other hand if you are using a wallpaper with some more dark color tones, it can safe the battery energy level, because it doesn't need a lot energy.

Lifespan of the device

When it comes to the overall lifespan of the screen, good wallpapers can also affect this part of the device. Screens on all electronic devices are made of many small chips we call pixels. Every pixel has the job to show both the lightning and the coloring of a screen. Now in some screenpanels, the pixels are separated so that there is a light panel behind the actual pixel panel. The pixels does get worn over time like many other components of the device, however when you are using the device in a high resolution setting and with a high saturated color tone, you can speed up the worn up process and thereby reduce the lifespan of the screen. You see this commonly on TV screens, where the screen suddenly become more bright on one particular part of the screen, and slowly over time spreads to the rest of the screen. That is what we call burn in, and it happens because the TV screen settings are set to constantly show the pictures in a high saturated color tone and bright lightning, combined with a high-resolution setup from the factory. This same exact principle does apply to mobile devices like phones and tablets.
