The present invention relates to the terminal field, and specifically, to an intelligent terminal power-saving management method and apparatus. The method includes: acquiring, by a second intelligent terminal, a power-saving control policy, where: the power-saving control policy includes an interval for enabling a communications module; the interval for enabling the communications module is greater than a power-saving period of the communications module; and the power-saving period is a built-in power-saving policy of the communications module; counting, by the second intelligent terminal, duration when the interval for enabling the communications module is acquired; enabling, by the second terminal, the communications module to perform communication when the duration is greater than or equal to the interval for enabling the communications module; and disabling, by the second intelligent terminal, the communications module when the communication ends. Using the apparatus provided in the technical solutions of the present invention can reduce power consumption, extend usage time of an intelligent terminal, and enhance user experience in a case in which normal running of the intelligent terminal is ensured.
