Step by step

1. 

   Open Display & brightness

   Open Settings and scroll down to it.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Sleep

   Scroll down to Screen. Ours said After 30 seconds.

   Done

3. 

   Pick a time

   15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10 or 30 minutes, or 1 hour. The dialog warns that keeping the screen on for a long time may increase power consumption.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Searched for screen timeout? The setting is called Sleep on HONOR, under the Screen heading.

  

• Want the time always visible instead? Use Always On Display; see the link below.

If this does not work

• Screen still turns off fast? HONOR says that with Power saving mode on, Sleep is dimmed and set to 30 seconds (or less). Turn Power saving mode off. Source: Unable to configure the Sleep, Auto-sync data and Battery percentage options
• No 1 hour on another HONOR? Ours (Magic7 Lite) offered 1 hour as the longest choice.

About this guide

The screenshots are from our HONOR Magic7 Lite, the European model BRP-NX1M, with MagicOS 10.0 and Android 16 (build 10.0.0.169(C430E7R2P1)), in Dark mode. Ours was on 30 seconds; we tapped Cancel and changed nothing.

Good to know

To show the time on a dark screen, turn on Always On Display.

To save battery, turn on Power saving mode.

In short: Settings, Display & brightness, Sleep.
