The invention discloses a mobile
terminal system switching control method based on hardware dual systems and a mobile terminal, and relates to the technical field of terminal application testing, and the method comprises the steps that dual systems and a controller are arranged on the mobile terminal in advance, the dual systems comprise an
intelligent machine system and a function
machine system, and the controller controls dual
system switching and
peripheral switching; when it is detected that the electric quantity of the mobile terminal is larger than a first preset value, the mobile
terminal system is controlled to be switched into an intelligent
operating system, all peripherals are controlled to be connected to the intelligent
operating system in a default mode, and the function
machine system is
shut down; and when it is detected that the electric quantity of the mobile terminal is lower than a first preset value, a switching instruction is received or the electric quantity is lower than a second preset value, triggering and switching to the function
machine system, controlling the peripherals to be connected to the function machine system in a default manner, and controlling the intelligent
operating system to be
shut down at the same time. The method has the advantages that the endurance time of the equipment is obviously prolonged and the reliability of a basic communication function is guaranteed through hardware-level system switching under the condition of low electric quantity.
