Here’s how to change Screen Sleep Time on Honor 20.

Why Adjust Screen Sleep Time

Setting a shorter screen timeout means your display turns off faster when you're not actively using your phone. This prevents unnecessary battery drain from the screen staying on when you've set it down or aren't looking at it. Even saving a few seconds each time adds up throughout the day.

Step-by-Step Guide to Change Screen Sleep Time

Follow these simple steps to adjust your Honor 20's screen sleep settings:

  1. 1.Open the Settings app on your Honor 20
  2. 2.Tap on Display & Brightness
Click to expand
  1. 1.Select the Sleep option
Click to expand
  1. 1.Choose your preferred timeout duration from the available options: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or Never
Click to expand

For maximum battery efficiency, we recommend setting your screen sleep time to 15 seconds. This gives you enough time to read notifications or check something quickly while ensuring the screen doesn't stay on unnecessarily.

If you need your screen to stay on longer for specific tasks like reading or following instructions, you can temporarily switch to a longer duration like 2 or 5 minutes. Just remember to switch back to 15 seconds when you're done to continue saving battery.

Additional Battery Saving Tips

Beyond adjusting screen sleep time, consider these additional settings to extend your Honor 20's battery life:

  • Enable dark mode throughout the system (available on Android 10 and later)
  • Reduce screen brightness when possible
  • Lower screen resolution if your usage doesn't require maximum detail
  • Turn off always-on display if enabled

Changing your screen sleep time is a quick and effective way to get more from your Honor 20's battery. The setting takes just moments to adjust but can provide noticeable improvements in how long your phone lasts between charges.
