Welcome! In front of me is a Huawei MatePad paper and today I'll show you
0:05
how we can enable the power saving mode on this little tablet. So to get started
0:14
we just need to navigate into the settings, so right over here. From the
0:20
settings select your battery, which is right here barely visible, and then you
0:28
have right here power saving mode. Once you enable it that's basically it. It
0:34
gives you this little leaf and the battery and that's it. Now we can tap on the drop-down menu and select learn more to get a broader view of what this
0:42
changes and I already read through this and from as far as I'm aware there is
0:50
actually no reason not to run this permanently on. It gives you better
0:54
battery life with basically no drawbacks. So quickly go into this we
0:59
have disable auto sync. It's a paper ink you probably won't be syncing too much
1:05
data anyway. If you use this for email I guess that would be the only reason you
1:10
might care about the sync. The other thing is the screen screen timeout which
1:15
you just seen happen. For some stupid reason they decided to keep this on here
1:22
so shorter screen on time which basically is stupid to be completely
1:29
honest because that's the only annoying part I I would say here because this is
1:36
paper ink. Once it prints this like onto the display it's not using power for the
1:41
display so by actually locking the display like it's gonna do in a second
1:45
it uses more power by doing so then just keeping it like this. So I believe the
1:52
what you call it the Harmony OS that is designed for this is just not the best
1:57
when it comes down to well this kind of device but that is all I think. Anyway
2:04
moving down we have a haptic feedback I don't think this is why has any haptic
2:08
feedback so it doesn't really matter. System sound I guess I mean this again
2:15
doesn't really matter because I not that I have noticed there is no sound when
2:19
you press on things it still keeps the sound of well like music that will be
2:24
playing and stuff like that so you shouldn't worry about that one. We have also reduced visual effects it's a paper ink the visual effects here are already
2:32
reduced to non-existent so again that's not really a problem. This like I said
2:38
short screen time that's one of the problems. Restricted background app activity again not really a problem there is not very many apps here that
2:47
you can utilize and the ones that you will be are usually open like settings
2:52
so you don't really care about the ones that in the background and because the display refresh rate takes a pretty long time when you're switching between
2:59
things it usually has enough time to open up the app fully if even it times
3:05
out. Then moving on to the last one it's going to be reduced system
3:09
performance. Again I would believe that the screen refresh rate is already
3:16
slower than the actual processor in here so again that's not really a problem. Now
3:21
if you encounter that your apps are just a little bit too slow or your entire
3:26
performance of the device is too slow then I guess you might want to disable
3:29
this but in general it gives us I believe over three hours of battery life
3:34
actually more than three hours of battery life so to be completely honest
3:38
I at least at this percent right here so at 67% it went from like 12 hours to 16
3:46
hours so I would already consider this to be a win in my book and I personally
3:52
would be keeping this permanently on because majority of the things here don't really bother me that much the only thing would be this screen
3:59
timeout and just to kind of maybe check it out I'm gonna go into display and
4:05
brightness and let's see if we have screen refresh rate now sleep okay so we
4:11
cannot change it unfortunately when this mode is enabled which is kind of
4:16
dumb but yeah there we go and now obviously once you're done with your
4:20
power saving mode you want to go back to the normal mode you can just navigate back into the battery and toggle this off unfortunately there is no quick
4:28
toggle and our little menu right here so you will always need to navigate to the
4:34
settings and battery and toggle it on and off from there anyway with this
4:39
