Is it useful to leave the power saving mode on all the time for the battery life

I recently purchased a Redmi Note 13 Pro, and since I was accustomed to doing so with my previous phone, I usually set it on power saving mode. Does this actually help with battery life :thinking: What are the benefits and drawbacks.

To alter its behavior, you can adjust the power saver mode settings. Your phone’s capability will be limited by the default behavior, which will undoubtedly increase battery life. For example, your display won’t use the quickest refresh rate or reach its maximum brightness, alerts from several apps may arrive later, and location accuracy may suffer. Power saving mode can be adjusted to be less aggressive and to exclude certain apps, but doing so reduces power savings. Additionally, power saving mode can be configured to activate automatically when your battery reaches a predetermined percentage. Keeping your phone in energy saving mode can make sense depending on how you use it and how frequently you can charge it. You can still use your apps and make calls while the phone’s performance is reduced to prolong battery life.

The phone is slower when battery saving, which is the one thing that bothers me. I do not think I can change it. Notifications and other features do not bother me at all because I do not need them.

Most likely not, as the slower phone response is caused by a number of things rather than just the processor being throttled. Some of Android’s power-hungry background apps also speed up and improve responsiveness. Those processes are paused in power saving mode until an application calls for them. They would already be operating in normal mode, allowing your phone to react right away. If you preferred not to enter full power saving mode, you could try adjusting some settings yourself. For example, you could manually limit the background processes of any apps you do not want to run in the background, turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, disable lock screen notifications or only allow them for a select few apps, and disable display auto brightness in favor of manually adjusting the brightness.

Perhaps useless if you want mail notifications because you can disable sync and other features with it. To conserve battery life, it disables things. similar to place and performance. Thus, if you really must have it on since you are waiting on a crucial call but need to conserve battery because you can not charge it, Yes.

The optimum time to use battery-saving settings is when you know for sure that your battery will run out of power before you can reach a charger. If not, to maximize its performance, switch to its high-performance mode.
