Here’s how you can still extend the battery backup time of Xiaomi’s Redmi series phones:

Disable “Dual 4G” (If not required it)

There is a new feature on all the Xiaomi smartphones that you can find, which is “Dual 4G.” This feature is recently updated to all Xiaomi’s Phones, which supports the Dual SIM slot and the latest 4G VOLTE connectivity. That’s the reason, why we have covered all the above-mentioned and recently launched smartphones because all the smartphones have the latest 4G VoLTE connectivity. And they also come with a Dual SIM slot.

After analyzing the Dual 4G feature on the Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphone, we found that the “Dual 4G” features can drain your device’s battery faster than usual. So, Turning OFF this feature could help to extend your battery backup time.

Here’s how you can disable the Dual 4G on your Xiaomi Phones:

First of all, Open the Settings of your device.
Now, tap on the SIM Cards & Mobile Networks option
Here, find the Dual 4G feature, and disable the Dual 4G by turning the slider button left side.

As we all know the JIO is an LTE/VoLTE-based cellular connectivity and it does not support any 3G and 2G band. So, If you are using the JIO SIM card on both slots of your device, then there is no way to disable the “Dual 4G” feature on your Xiaomi Phone. But, don’t be disappointed, there is a whole list of tricks & tips below. So, follow the other ways that you can be able to try on your device.

If you are using a Dual SIM on your device, but from a different carrier(E.g., SIM 1: JIO, Sim 2: Other Carrier), then you can try to turn off the Dual 4G feature to extend the battery. Because the sim “1” will have only the ability to get 4G VoLTE connectivity, and the second sim will be able to get the 3G network (band). So, this way your device will consume less battery than before. So, turning off the Dual 4G feature on your device will help you to get an extended battery backup time.
