To understand CPU Underclocking, let’s say a device comes with a processor having 1600 MHz processing speed and you want to underclock it, you will reduce it’s speed to 900 MHz or 800 MHz. That probably gives you an idea about underclocking, basically it refers to slowing down or restricting the speed of your device’s CPU to a lower number. Underclocking is greatly effective as the battery life of your Android device is directly linked with the user of your device’s CPU, so in case you are not an Android freak and you don’t disturb your device much with gaming and other such processes, you can underclock your Android device to improve it’s battery life.
