The invention discloses an electronic apparatus capable of reducing power consumption and a method for reducing the power consumption of the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus comprises a processor, a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory; the non-volatile memory stores a first operation system; the electronic apparatus works in a first working mode and a second working mode; when the electronic apparatus is in the first working mode, a second operation system runs in the volatile memory; when the processor detects that the electronic apparatus meets a preset condition of entering the second working mode, the non-volatile memory is turned on, and non system data in the volatile memory is moved to the non-volatile memory, wherein the non system data does not comprise the second operation system; and after the moving of the non system data is finished, the volatile memory is turned off, and the first operation system runs in the non-volatile memory, thereby enabling the electronic apparatus to enter the second working mode. Therefore, the power consumption of the electronic apparatus is reduced.
