In bright outdoor light, your phone automatically boosts the screen brightness to the maximum level so you can see clearly. This causes power consumption to reach its peak. Additionally, direct sunlight heats up the device, and the system may adjust performance to protect the battery. High temperatures themselves also cause the battery to drain faster. This is a normal protective mechanism where the hardware adapts to the environment. Please refer to the following suggestions to optimize your experience.
I. Screen and Display Settings
1. Adjust Screen Brightness
The screen is the main power consumer, especially in high-brightness mode under strong light. If visibility allows, we suggest manually lowering the screen brightness or turning off "Auto brightness" in Settings. This prevents the phone from constantly running at maximum brightness and helps save power.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight on the Screen
Strong direct sunlight forces the screen to use more power to remain visible and rapidly increases the device's temperature. We recommend using your phone in the shade or with your back to the light whenever possible. Avoiding direct sunlight on the screen helps lower power consumption and prevents overheating.
II. Environment and Usage Management
1. Watch the Device Temperature
High temperatures are the enemy of battery life. Using your phone in hot outdoor weather combines environmental heat with the heat generated by the phone, speeding up battery drain. If the phone feels noticeably hot, we suggest pausing high-load apps (like large games or video recording) and removing the phone case to help it cool down before using it again.
2. Optimize Background Apps and Network
Outdoor usage usually relies on mobile data, which consumes more power than Wi-Fi. We suggest closing unused background apps and turning off unnecessary auto-sync or location services. Reducing background activity lowers the load on the processor, helping to relieve battery drain caused by environmental factors.
