Realme UI, based on Android, offers several settings to extend battery life. Optimizing these will significantly improve your Realme phone’s battery backup. Here’s a breakdown of the top battery-saving settings:
1. Power Saving Mode:
* Location: Settings > Battery > Power Saving Mode (or similar; wording may vary slightly depending on your Realme UI version).
* Options: Realme typically offers different levels of power saving (e.g., Low Power Saving, Super Power Saving). Super Power Saving mode severely limits functionality but drastically extends battery life. Low Power Saving mode offers a balance between performance and battery life.
* Impact: This is the most direct way to extend battery life. It limits background activity, reduces screen brightness, and may disable some features.
2. Battery Optimization:
* Location: Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization (or App Management/Battery Usage).
* Options: This allows you to manage how apps use battery power. You can choose to restrict background activity for individual apps or categories of apps. Prioritize essential apps and restrict less-used ones. Look for apps consuming excessive battery in the battery usage section.
* Impact: Prevents apps from draining your battery in the background unnecessarily.
3. Screen Settings:
* Brightness: Keep screen brightness as low as comfortable. Use auto-brightness cautiously, as it can sometimes be less efficient.
* Screen Timeout: Reduce the time before the screen turns off.
* Always-on Display (AOD): Disable this feature if not crucial. It constantly uses power to display information.
* Dark Mode: Use dark mode; it consumes less battery than light mode, especially on AMOLED screens.
* Refresh Rate: If your device supports adaptive refresh rate or has multiple refresh rate options, select the lower refresh rate (e.g., 60Hz instead of 90Hz or 120Hz). This reduces battery drain.
4. Location Services:
* Precision: Use the highest accuracy only when necessary (e.g., navigation). Otherwise, choose a lower accuracy setting to save power.
* Background Location Access: Restrict background location access for apps that don’t require it. Check which apps are using location in the background and limit those that don’t need it.
5. Background App Activity:
* Limit background data: Restrict mobile data usage for background app activity.
* Close unnecessary apps: Regularly close apps running in the background.
6. Network Settings:
* Mobile Data: Turn off mobile data when not needed, especially in areas with weak signal.
* Wi-Fi: Use Wi-Fi whenever available, as it consumes less battery than mobile data.
* Bluetooth: Turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
7. System Updates:
* Keep your software updated: Sometimes updates include battery optimization improvements.
8. Other Tips:
* Avoid extreme temperatures: Extreme heat or cold can negatively impact battery performance.
* Reduce animations: Disabling or reducing screen animations can marginally improve battery life. This option is often found in Developer options (you may need to enable Developer options first).
* Factory Reset (Last Resort): A factory reset can sometimes fix unexpected battery drain issues, but back up your data first!
Important Note: The exact location and wording of these settings might slightly differ depending on your Realme phone model and Realme UI version. Refer to your phone’s settings menu for the precise locations. Experiment with different combinations to find the optimal balance between battery life and functionality.
