The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is one of the best selling Xiaomi mobiles. This terminal has a very moderate price and offers sufficient technical benefits for most users. In addition, some operators offer it for free as a claim, which makes it come into the hands of more people. However, some users report that the battery life is not as expected.
If we look closely at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, we see that it has a generous 4,000 mAh battery . It is also compatible with 18W fast charging, and with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 technology. Whether the autonomy of this mobile is more or less durable depends on many factors, including the user’s hand and MIUI‘s management of energy.
Improve battery life on Redmi Note 7
Turn off automatic brightness
It is one of the first measures that can be noticed before. Automatic brightness management is not as accurate as it sometimes should be. It is very convenient for the system to manage the brightness , but only we know exactly how much brightness we have enough. In addition, having it activated means the constant activity of the brightness sensor, with the consequent energy consumption . The option can be disabled from the quick options menu or from the Display settings within the configuration menu.
Remove pre-installed apps
Our mobile is full of applications, and many of them consume energy in the background. In addition, Xiaomi installs by default its entire ecosystem of apps, which many consider bloatware to eradicate. A good way to save battery power is to remove all those applications installed by default.
Applications at startup
The Redmi Note 7 has already been updated to MIUI 11, that is, it has Android 10. This means that the automatic start of applications has been able to activate even for some that were not. This is similar to the beginning of our PC, and why certain applications should not start with the system. In order to manage this point, we will have to go to Settings / Manage Applications / Permissions / Automatic start. Now we will only have to disable those applications that we do not need to start at the system startup.
Activate Dark Mode
The Redmi Note 7 can work with MIUI 10 or 11, depending on whether the user has updated or not. In both cases you can activate the Dark Mode, which will save battery. The theory is that this function has less impact on those panels that are not OLED or AMOLED, but many users report a better autonomy performance with its activation. To do this, we go to the screen options and activate the Dark Mode box.
Battery optimizer
Almost all manufacturers have a similar function and the Redmi Note 7 was not going to be less. It is found in Settings / Battery / Battery optimization. By pressing the green button, the system will analyze any abnormal behavior or adjustments that are affecting the battery life. Each mobile and the use that each user gives to the mobile is different, so the recommendations that will appear will be different on each mobile.
Activate adaptive battery
Finally, activating the adaptive battery is something that can significantly increase autonomy. We can access this function from the Settings / Battery and Performance menu . In this menu we can activate the adaptive battery, which intelligently manages the applications, preventing those that we use less from consuming energy unnecessarily.
Notice and data control
Finally, we recommend two settings found in the same battery optimization options. The first one allows us to set an alarm, so that the system alerts us when an application is consuming too much battery. In this way we can quickly identify it and eliminate it or stop the process if necessary.
The second allows us to disable mobile data when the phone is locked. It is an ideal option for those people who are not constantly aware of incoming notifications, and who can do without them until the screen is turned on again.
