In these times, running out of battery is common, but more difficult than a few years ago. Now, our smartphones have increasingly high battery capacities , in addition to technologies such as fast charging that allow us to be back on gas in a few minutes. In addition, other technologies such as the reverse face, even allow a friend to share the battery with us, like the one who lends us a pen.
To facilitate the assumption in which we need to have the mobile on whatever it is and we cannot have a charge in any way, MIUI 12 has integrated the “Extreme” saving mode . This function restricts the functions that consume more battery in the system, also decreasing the performance of the mobile to leave it in a state of basic functionality. When we talk about basic, we refer to functions that can be vital at any given time, such as calls or SMS.
Activating the Extreme Savings Mode of MIUI 12
In order to access the function we will have to enter Settings and go to the Battery section. Once inside, we will see how much time we have left with the current battery configuration. In addition, we will see two modes to be able to activate, the first is the classic MIUI 12 saving mode, but the one that interests us is just below and is called “Extreme battery saving “. We will only have to activate the switch to proceed with its activation. In addition, next to the function, the system automatically calculates how long the terminal will be able to last on with this mode activated. In our case, and with 49% battery, the Extreme Saving Mode gives us almost 237 more hours of use, that is, our terminal could be on without turning off for more than 9 days.
It can be configured?
As soon as the mode is activated, the system will make a series of changes to be able to carry out the extreme duration of autonomy. These settings include restricting the apps that consume the most battery, preventing background app activity , reducing screen brightness, or turning on Dark Mode automatically. The system will become very simple, with the simplest interface that we can find. However, we will be able to do some editing regarding the available apps. In principle we will have calls, contacts and messages. However, if there is any other app, which we consider vital, we can add it to this mode from the add button. Keep in mind that if we add too many applications, this mode might not be as efficient and reduce the duration of autonomy.
Keep in mind that it is possible that when we return to normal mode, when exiting ultra battery saving mode, some app icons do not appear . This is a known bug in the mode, which is fixed by logging in and out again. So we will see all the icons in their place again.
