Itel P36 Series Specification

Itel P36 Battery

The Itel P36 series is built for power and long-term usage, it has a battery capacity of 5000mAh, giving users lots of usage time on the phone while not needing to constantly charge it. It is also good to note that the battery is non-removable.

The Itel P36 battery is also supported by the Smart Power Saving Artificial Intelligence Battery feature called The "AI Power Master". 

The AI Power is Itel's latest power management system that comes preinstalled in the Itel P36, it is an innovative and futuristic power management tool that has two battery-saving modes (Smart Power-Saving Mode and Ultra-Power Saving Mode). 

Itel P36 Battery Smart Power Saving Mode

This AI battery-saving mode allows the Itel p36 to intelligently save battery by adjusting the phone's default performance such as Bluetooth, Internet, WLAN, and Brightness and also installed applications to extend battery life. 

This mode automatically reduces the performance of battery draining applications and intelligently extends your smartphone's battery by over 35%.

Itel P36 Battery Ultra Power Saving Mode

The ultra power-saving mode is the second AI battery saving feature in the Itel P36 series, it automatically detects when your smartphone's battery is critically low and it extends battery life by allowing only SMS, Calls, and Calendar to be available, thus battery endurance is maximized to its full potential.

The Itel P36 has other supplementary AI Battery saving features like;

• APP Freeze
• AI Screen Light Management
• Sleep Mode
• Auto Start Management
• Lock Screen Cleanup

Itel P36 Battery App Freeze Mode

This mode automatically freezes apps that are not being used frequently, all background processes from the app will be stopped, giving you lesser battery and RAM usage.

Itel P36 Battery AI Screen Light Management Mode

This is another smart battery saving mode that automatically adjusts the Itel phone screen brightness according to the time and environmental conditions to help control power consumption. 

It works with the Itel light sensors to automatically detect the condition of your environment, so if you are in a bright environment your screen brightness automatically increases, and if you move to a darker place the screen light dims to protect your eyes and battery. 

Itel P36 Battery Sleep Mode

The Sleep mode automatically turns off all unnecessary phone functions, keeping only the essential smartphone features to avoid high power consumption.

Itel P36 Battery Auto Start Management and Lock Screen Cleanup Mode

The Itel auto-start management restricts non-essential apps from automatically starting when the device is switched on. The Lock Screen Cleanup hibernates all apps and background processes when your device's screen is switched off.
