The many hours we spend in front of the mobile screen can take its toll sooner or later. Excess blue light is very harmful to our eye health, especially when we use the mobile in dimly lit environments.
Fortunately, Xiaomi integrates functions to reduce the amount of blue light, relieve eyestrain and provide more protection to our eyes. If you want to avoid headaches and reduce eye strain, then you should activate these options on your Xiaomi mobile.
Start with dark mode
In simple terms, the dark mode is responsible for coloring the device interface to dark tones, in addition to reducing screen brightness and colors. This feature is great for reducing eye strain as well as saving battery life.
With the arrival of MIUI 12, the dark mode 2.0 also arrived, a much more complete function and with more advanced features. Among its main benefits, the possibility of integrate dark mode in third-party applications that do not have this modality.
Activating the dark mode on your Xiaomi is not a difficult task. The shortest way is to activate it from the control center. Although you can also do it in the following way:
- Login to Settings> Display
- Select the color palette for dark mode.
Likewise, you also have the option of schedule dark mode at a specific time, adjust the wallpaper and texts, and select individual applications to integrate the dark mode.
If you have it, turn on anti-flicker mode
The variation in the intensity of the light generates a flicker on the screens of our mobile devices, which is imperceptible to the naked eye.
However, said flicker has a negative effect in low light environments, as it can cause headaches, eye fatigue, and even insomnia.
For this reason Xiaomi has integrated the anti-flicker or DC dimming mode. This function prevents excessive flickering in order to reduce eyestrain, in exchange for sacrificing a bit of image quality. However, it is worth noting that this function not present on all Xiaomi mobile devices.
To activate the anti-flicker mode, you just have to follow these steps:
- Login to Settings> Display.
- Select the anti-flicker mode.
This will help your device reduce excessive flickering while DC dimming is active.
And to finish, activate the reading mode
Another very good option to reduce the amount of blue light emitted by mobiles is to activate the reading mode. This function takes care of changing the textures and colors of the screen automatically to adapt to our environment.
With the reading mode activated, the light from Xiaomi phones is less intense, thus making our eyes relax. In fact, yesIt is recommended to use the reading mode before sleeping, as it can help you fall asleep much faster by avoiding negative effects from blue light.
To activate the reading mode, you must follow the same route as in the previous modes:
- Access in Settings> Display
- Select reading mode.
Like dark mode, you can schedule it to activate and deactivate at a specific time. You also have the option to activate this mode from the control center.
