Welcome. In front of me is a one plus 12 and today I'll show you a couple tweaks and the tricks you can do on this phone
0:11
So let's get started by opening up our settings and I'm going to begin with the ultimately simple ones like dark mode which is located under the display and the brightness and we have the permanent switch from light to dark which if I remember correctly is also visible throughout the setup process but what isn't is the option below which is the skittance
0:29
this will make it so the device will switch between these two modes
0:33
automatically either on between the sunset to sunrise or on a custom
0:37
timer of your choice which would give you best of both worlds
0:41
scrolling a little bit lower we have the screen in color mode this is basically
0:45
the saturation of the display if you find a display to be a little bit too
0:49
saturated because by default it think here no it's actually not that bad
0:55
but you can obviously go through this we do have a apparently a pro mode, which uses D65 color temperature
1:06
I'm not actually sure if this is like some color accurate option, like the SRGB or some other ones, but in any case
1:14
we have couple options. You have Vivid, which is obviously the typical kind of like overdone Samsung kind of color mode
1:22
Samsung as in like, you know, they have always Vivid mode enabled as a brand
1:26
and it's always just egregiously too saturated. natural here actually seems to be pretty decent but you have other choices if you
1:34
want to fiddle around with it and additionally you have the color wheel right
1:37
here so you can add specific color hue to the actual display
1:44
Going back we also have the natural tone display basically a true tone for
1:49
one plus ripped off from like iPhones. It does make the display a little bit
1:55
more yellowish so be mindful of that. It does look better for
1:59
with just higher brightness. And I'm going to turn it off for now
2:05
Scrolling a little bit further down, we have additional things like the image, a sharpener and video color boost
2:10
So two things that will basically try to improve the image quality of content that you're going
2:16
to be viewing on here. This just tries to upscale images. And on the video, it's not very visible
2:22
But if you looking at this on the phone yourself you can see the kind of have a difference between like when it crossing the line is crossing where the B is so on the left side it a little bit more pixelated compared to the right side
2:38
So it just tries to make things look sharper and higher resolution than they actually are
2:45
Now this feature, the image sharpener, along with the color boost, does consume a little bit more of your phone's battery
2:51
So if you want to have the best battery life, you might not want to enable it
2:55
because it is using your phone's processor to achieve these results, it will obviously need to use more resources, therefore use more battery
3:06
And here's just the video color boost. What it does is, as you can see, increases the exposure on the actual image right here
3:17
making it look a bit more bright. And I think the saturation
3:25
might be a little bit higher, but not by much. But in any case, you can obviously fit all around with it, see if you like the results
3:34
Now, scrolling a little bit further down, we have a screen refresh rate
3:38
and here we have a couple different options. We have the auto select, which will be actually the best option for majority of the people
3:44
But for the people that want to maybe read a lot of books on their device
3:49
I would probably recommend sticking with the standard, which will give you 60 hertz refresh rate
3:54
and might be a bit better when reading in terms of battery life
4:00
But like I said, for everyone else, I recommend the Auto Select. Because this is an LTP display
4:06
It does crank up all the way to 120 hertz refresh rate when it's needed
4:10
And content that isn't able to be displayed at 120 hertz. Maybe, for instance, this could be probably playing at 60 if I'm correct
4:19
So right now it would be displaying at 60. and anywhere else where there isn't anything moving
4:25
like right over here the display could drop all the way down to
4:29
I believe 1 hertz or 10 basically frames per second so it would then give you a better battery life
4:36
now this only applies to content that isn't moving if you're reading books and you're flipping through pages
4:41
obviously that would pages moving would not make that be running at 1 hertz
4:47
it would be running at 120 at that point so the best kind of result
4:52
but so like I said for everyone the outer would be the best one just because it utilizes
4:58
the highest refresh rate along with the lowest one depending on what you need at the moment now scrolling a little bit actually now we done in display so let go back to the main setting page and here we going to navigate to
5:14
Home screen and Lockscreen where we have a couple additional things. We have things like the
5:19
what is it? Screen mode, home screen mode. By default it's set to drawer mode
5:28
I thought that it might actually be set to standard but I thought that it might actually be set to standard but I could be incorrect but in any case you can choose between these two it just defines if
5:37
all your applications are smack in the middle of your home screen or in an uptore we also
5:41
have home screen layout which allows you to pack more applications visible at the same time on
5:46
single page by just condensing them a little bit more you can see below that you have pulled
5:53
down gesture this allows you to activate semi one-handed gesture mode in a way but you can see how it works
6:01
right over here. Though I will be honest this doesn't always work as smoothly as it's shown
6:06
obviously on the animation so you might need to fiddle around with it a little bit before you get
6:11
the hang of it. Now moving a bit further down we have the swipe down at home screen. This is a pretty
6:18
nice option. I personally like to select it to be the notification drawer. So when you swipe down
6:24
before I actually change it, you swipe down right now it gives you the shelf. I don't really like that
6:31
Let's see, let's go back here. We have also Global Search and a notification drawer, which is what I would prefer
6:39
So when you swipe down, you get your notifications that removes the need for you to go from
6:43
the top, swipe down to actually get this panel visible, which is pretty handy
6:50
Next we have animation speed in here. This just allows you to choose the animation speed of different things
6:55
So for instance, this kind of window when it pops up, it is animated, so it just kind of fades
7:00
into view we can increase that speed. So it is a bit faster
7:06
not by much, and also things like the swipe or going back
7:10
the motion of it swiping is also increased. Though this isn't necessarily going to change
7:16
all that much in terms of speed. If you want to get better results
7:20
I recommend navigating the developer options and going down in there to animation transitions
7:26
and animation speeds and change them from 0 to 0 This will give you a significantly faster animation speeds Though I not going to really going to go show that just because it a little bit too long Now moving on to notifications and status bar
7:45
Here we have another thing that I personally like, which is the status bar section and all the
7:50
tagles visible here. This allows you to just hide them from your status bar so they don't
7:56
show up even though they, for instance, are enabled. Now right now we have things like
8:00
Wi-Fi enabled, location, rotation, rotation, NFC so NFC's already toggled off that's not really the default kind of
8:11
appearance for most devices not sure if this is default toggle off I don't
8:16
think so but it could be but in any case you can basically go over and literally
8:23
hide every single toggle from being visible in the status bar battery style
8:30
make it a little bit cleaner battery percentage, we can hide that
8:37
Unfortunately, we can't hide the SIM icon and Wi-Fi for some stupid reason
8:45
We used to be able to do that, apparently not anymore. Next, we can also condense the notifications
8:51
By default, it's showing you each notification individually, but for instance, you can condense it to just a number
8:56
So it will show you how many notifications you have. It just won't show you what notifications they are, or from what application
9:02
But it obviously can still pull down your notification tray. and get that info here
9:09
Now, last thing that I want to show is the gesture navigation
9:13
which should have the option to actually enable it. There we go
9:18
By going to home screen and lock screen, and we do have the redirect right here
9:22
system navigation, and we have the gesture navigation. I'm not going to be learning it, I already know how to use it
9:27
So when you enable it, it removes your buttons and swaps it for this bar, which can swipe up to go home, swipe up and a hold to go to recent
9:33
and then swipe from either side to go back, which you do have a pretty good animation right here
9:38
displaying all these gestures in action. Another thing that you have access in here too
9:43
is the height gesture guide bar, which is this bar at the bottom for a cleaner look
9:48
while still retaining the functionality of it. So there we go. This finishes up all the tweaks and tricks I want to show you
9:58
