Does higher volume on a phone drain more power if it’s via Bluetooth?

42 viewsOtherTechnology

So I assume, that if I just have my phone and play music, it would drain more power, the louder I make the music.

Now if I connect my phone to the car, I have two ways of increasing volume. One time via the car’s stereo and again via the volume increase on my phone.

I am always wondering, if I would put the volume on my phone lower and the cars volume louder, will this effectively safe battery of my phone? Or does it not matter as the signal is digital and volume is just a bit in the transmission?

Maybe someone can this for me 🙂

No, it doesn’t matter.

Rather than output a more powerful signal (what an analog wired connection would do), Bluetooth transmits the same audio data and says “make it this loud” when you adjust volume.
