- After that, we will simply look for the Preferred network type option and select Prefer 4G
In this simple way and in most cases, without noticing a decrease in Internet access speed, we will be able to save up to 11% battery life. Something essential today, to end the day without our Xiaomi turning off. Additionally, we recommend reading these tips to improve battery saving.
