The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reducing user equipment (UE) power consumption, and relates to the field of wireless communications technologies. The method includes: obtaining, by a UE, a network configuration parameter of the UE, where the UE is an electronic device that supports a 5th generation mobile communications technology non-standalone (5G NSA) networking mode and/or a 5th generation mobile communications technology standalone (5G SA) networking mode; determining whether the network configuration parameter of the UE is less than a set threshold, where being less than the set threshold is used to indicate that an Internet speed of the UE is limited; and if the network configuration parameter of the UE is less than the set threshold, starting, by the UE, a power consumption reduction procedure.
