consumption for smartphones batteries.
News
moved a number of sites, including the site of British Broadcasting Corporation

States conducted new research revealed through the study of energy consumption
for smartphones engaged by Android may be a way to determine the geographical
location of the user .
And
in order to prove their point of view the four researchers develop an
application "PowerSpy" able to study the energy consumption of the
battery user phone and based on this method can determine the geographical
location without the need for technology and meets or GPS, which unlike them,
this application does not require user consent or
