FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS APPLIED TO TERMINAL, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Embodiments of this application provide a frequency adjustment method and apparatus applied to a terminal, and an electronic device. The method includes: monitoring a drawing time of a first frame of image; obtaining a current state of a system on chip SOC when the drawing time exceeds first drawing duration, where the current state is any one or more of the following parameters: a current temperature of the SOC and current load of the SOC; determining whether the current state exceeds a first preset threshold; if the current state does not exceed the first preset threshold, increasing an operating frequency of the SOC in a time range, and restoring the operating frequency after the increasing of the operating frequency ends; obtaining actual drawing duration of the first frame of image when drawing of the first frame of image is completed; and monitoring a drawing time of a second frame of image when the actual drawing duration does not exceed second drawing duration, where the second drawing duration is determined based on a preconfigured maximum frame rate, and the first drawing duration is less than the second drawing duration. In the embodiments of this application, a large fluctuation in a frame rate can be reduced.
