Battery and power management
Your device has an embedded battery. The battery consumption varies depending on
the features used. To make the battery last longer, you should consider the following:
•
Keep track of your battery consumption.
•
Follow the general usage tips to improve battery performance.
•
Use a power-saving mode.
Your device is equipped with two STAMINA modes and Android power saving features to
help your device to reduce its battery consumption. Android power saving features run in
the background and you can activate or deactivate STAMINA mode or Ultra STAMINA
mode yourself.
The power saving features restrict background data to save power, so if you do not want
an application to be affected, you can exempt it in the Battery optimization menu.
System updates may change the available power-saving modes on your device.
