The Huawei P Smart 2019 has been a best seller. We are facing a mid-range device, modest in performance but that complies for the vast majority of users. However, the terminal does not have the battery capacity that many would like, although we can always increase the autonomy by touching certain elements of the configuration.
The good news is that the P Smart 2019 has already been upgraded to EMUI 10. This means that Google’s energy management is even more efficient than with EMUI 9. However, far from delegating everything to the operating system, we We can also make a series of adjustments aimed at stretching the autonomy of the device much more.
How to increase your battery
Recall that the Huawei P Smart 2019 has a 3,400 mAh battery with a 10W charge. 2020 mid-range smartphones have at least 3,500 or 4,000 mAh. Still, good energy management and not wasting those milliamps will make the terminal last much longer away from the charger.
Activate Savings Modes
Similarly, we can activate the various battery saving modes that Huawei has integrated into the P Smart 2019 in order to save much more battery. Within the battery options, we can find two functions:
- Power Saving Mode – Significantly reduces energy use by limiting sounds, visuals, and activity of applications running in the background and other items that are not needed.
- Ultra Power Saver Mode – Precisely control applications running in the background to ensure the device stays on for much longer. In this mode, only selected applications can be used, while all the selectors in the system, with the exception of those corresponding to Wi-Fi and mobile data, will be disabled.
Activate Dark Mode
As we say, the Huawei P Smart 2019 has already been updated to EMUI 10 based on Android 10. This means that you can activate the Dark Mode to save battery. In this way, we can also rest the night view, something that our eyes will appreciate by not receiving direct white light from the screen.
This mode makes all elements of the system dark including those compatible apps. We just have to go to the Settings menu and click on “Screen and Brightness” . Later we will see that Dark Mode has its own switch. Just activate it to experience the new interface instantly.
Adjust the screen resolution
The Huawei P Smart 2019 has a smart function that automatically reduces the screen resolution to save energy, like other Huawei phones. This mode causes the device to automatically adjust the screen resolution based on the applications running to save power. It can be enabled from Settings / Display / Screen resolution . We can also manually lower the screen resolution to save energy when necessary.
Use the Battery Optimizer
Likewise, other of the tools that Huawei offers us in the battery settings is the Optimizer. When pressed, our P Smart 2019 will analyze the problems derived from energy consumption and optimize certain settings to make the battery last longer. The advice given by the terminal will be optional, but they are always intended to save energy.
Disable High Performance Mode
Processor management is vital for the final influence on the autonomy of our mobile. The Huawei P Smart 2019 has a High Performance Mode that allows you to squeeze the maximum capabilities of the terminal, but at the expense of the battery life. If we want it to last longer, we will have to deactivate this function from Settings / Battery (or Optimizer) and disable Maximum Performance Mode . If we play frequently, we must remember to activate it again to achieve the best fluidity, but of course, at the cost of the battery life.
Activate automatic brightness
The terminal incorporates important improvements regarding the detection of ambient light. This means that the automatic brightness mode is more accurate than ever. The terminal will be in charge of adapting the brightness of the screen to the light conditions of each moment, to save battery substantially. To activate it we must go to the Settings / Display menus and activate the “Automatic Brightness” option.
Disable unnecessary connections
It is one of the ways that can best save us and achieve better autonomy. In the connections section, we will have to deactivate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC, as long as its use is not necessary. In this way we will experience an improvement in battery life.
