[@elevate4368]

Your videos feels so refreshing and entertaining to watch. They’re different from the generic tech review videos. Love how your family comes first in all situations. Thanks for these interesting videos.

[@isaactang8881]

i like how your tips go beyond extending battery life but also on how to achieve work life balance and also reducing screen time to appreciate the finer things in life

[@person1501aaa]

i have never watched a single video of yours ever but after seening this and how unfiltered and funny your videos are especially with bits on your life and the kids is just so sweet and ill deff be waiting for new upload!!

[@xanrecreate3703]

I always love watching these videos the educational and good vibes is always on point ❤

[@tonyarzate90]

your content is so enjoyable to watch, keep squeezing in the family bits. I'm really surprised you're not at more subscribers by now. Content and quality is great, keep it up!

[@pemessh]

I love your videos so much so, that I started by liking them first and then watching them. Keep em coming !!!

[@eheboi9278]

The vlog style presentation of the videos makes them so much more fun to watch .

[@jorges2000]

Thank you very much for these tips. Enjoy the vacation.

[@deprezzzz]

I can’t believe I’m literally waiting for your videos. They’re amazing!

[@hamoudalthanawi6749]

Love your content, absolutely inspiring.

[@silveriojohan]

Thanks to you I gave the 13 Pro + to my daughter and bought the 13 mini, 2 months and totally love it.

[@Arsalan_2210]

Such a delight to watch your tech videos and reviews my friend. Love the style of videos and the hard work you put in shooting and editing. Its engaging, entertaining and informative all at once! Love from India!

[@danielblackwell4361]

learn from this app is a feature switched on for most apps, I turn it off on everything, also turn off siri & search.

[@xertval]

I made a comment about optimizing and didnt realize you already optimized it, great video!

[@Paul_muunda10]

I really like this guy and his family.

[@Albertrossy]

I love your channel I just found it. I feel like I’m getting a good review and I feel apart of a family🥰

[@vihaansuryawanshi5225]

Ur vids are just AMAZING!!!

[@xuus]

i just got an iPhone 13 mini 1 week ago based on your video about it and i’m loving it! Also i’m a subscriber of your channel since last month and i honestly really really love your videos and the refreshing way with the little outtakes and that it isn’t deadly serious like most of the most other tech videos. Keep going and i really hope for you that your channel will grow!! Greetings from Germany :)

[@dheerajmurthy393]

Welcome to the mini club😁

[@burtdominiquesy113]

Hows the battery?

[@xuus]

@@burtdominiquesy113 it’s actually okay, my health is 86% and if i don’t use my phone much i get through one day but if i use it normally i have to charge 1-2 times through the day which is acceptable for me

[@bluetee.531]

I love your videos because you're not , "just a tech reviewer', you give insights on how the tech product actually work for average normal person, or a parent. keep it up brother, please also review headphones, laptops, etc.

[@chillerinstinct1]

Dude, literaly every video I watch from you gets a thumbs up!

[@m0d_3d69]

Thank you so much for these tips, it had actually over doubled my 13 mini battery thanks once again :D

[@GOKZ888]

I just love this channel.

Not the video I expected but really enjoyed it 😊

[@timcombridge]

Yooooo that drone shot over the park sent me back - I was there close to two decades ago as a kid!

[@andrewsartain9870]

I never save Sam’s videos for later, quickly becoming one my favorite KZbinrs! Also still regretting swapping my 13 mini for a 14 pro 😢- keep up the great work!

[@senfglas214]

Still regretting it? Was the ProMotion and better zoom not worth it? That’s my only concern.

[@UNITYMusics]

Hey! Sam, Hope you have a successful youtube journey!

[@pavanraj8271]

My fav youtuber❤

[@chae2yng]

What case do you use Sam? Looks really nice

[@NomadicRuvee]

Just subscribed to your channel from Sri Lanka! And it is amazing how KZbin algorithms works lol.. Because couple of minutes ago I was thinking in my head to buy an iPhone 13 mini next month and then I came to KZbin just to see some random videos not related to iPhone . But the first video suggestion is this one! Feels like we are living inside a simulation!😅

[@thesamuelnam]

Thanks! Check out our iPhone 13 mini video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Sqc2abh959pJo

i would like it in starlight and also love your videos and i also subbed

[@Mohit.Baghell]

Just great !!!

[@junsulee2739]

아이폰13미니 유저로서…. 정말감사히 구매하겠습니다 ㅠㅠ감사합니다

[@nasimahm3d]

Following along with your video - background app refresh has an option to turn them all off on the top. That’s fine with me

[@bahadir70]

Hey, turning off transparency and animation and using the zoomed option in "Display Zoom" in "Display & Brightness"(this reduces the screen's resolution so less power gets used so better battery life) did get me around 25% longer battery life on my iPhone X, tho it did make the experience a bit worse.

[@joel.calderon]

Wow is great battery how much screen on +?

[@PratikChatse]

cutest congratulations, ever

[@lazyalligator1]

What case do you use for your iPhone and your pixel?

[@durgaks7260]

I never used an iPhone just here to enjoy your video ❤😂

[@galaxyrockstudio4813]

Quick tip for background app refresh- if you don’t want to do it yourself just turn on low power mode😅

It's not the same thing as restricting background app refresh - not even close.

[@marp9444]

iPhone 12/13 Mini's were great! just wished Apple made an iPhone 15 Mini because of the USB-C.

[@thesamuelnam]

Yep. I’ll pay iPhone pro money for that 15 mini.

[@farhanismaeel1059]

How do you apply the icon pack.

[@RB-nr1um]

From a Dad to another Dad… good job!

[@ebenezerpurisima3404]

Nice video

[@brendomiryr]

Let’s help make KZbin a full time gig for this man and his family. 😊✌️

[@f11bot]

That mail notification schedule I don't think it works that way, you can only change the frequency it checks for stuff if you use fetch, only that changes the refresh rate of mails! Other than that, great video, keep it up!!

[@dragunslaer]

Awesome

[@Pedrooo317]

@Samuel Nam any way you can post a link for your chair?

[@loffi851]

Installing icons disables additional functions of the habtic Touch

[@myownhut]

SE 2022 is in my wish list 😅

[@ld3534]

Yikes why that phone is ass lol

[@Jeannemarre]

To save battery 🔋 I recommend creating an automation in your shortcuts : Automation 1 : When your phone joins any WiFi network SET Mobile Data to OFF Automation 2 : When your phone leaves any WiFi network SET Mobile Data to ON This will automatically switch between mobile data and WiFi whenever one is available and turn off the other, I saved significant battery doing this

[@thesamuelnam]

Solid. Doing this now

[@Jeannemarre]

@@thesamuelnam also to « extend » the life expectancy of the battery, as Apple can’t be bothered to give us the option to stop charging at 80% and only gives that to 15 pro users, I created an automation that when battery raises above 80% I get a notification or a text to speech to remember to unplug it. You could also do something similar with HomeKit Compatible plugs that switch off once the iPhone reaches 80%. Although to be fair this phone is mostly better used when battery is charged to 100% and then change the battery for a new one once it’s loosing too much potential

[@Cjmboo]

your data is automatically turned off when u on wifi any way so no need to turn that off when on wifi u not gone be on both

[@Jeannemarre]

@@Cjmboo no it’s not, data is still working in the background to compensate any loss of WiFi signal, if you were to be on a FaceTime call and walk out your house the transition would be almost instant as the data is still functioning in the background. I hope this helps

[@dominiquerichardson706]

I will keep this video to get a refresh

[@user-rd5pb9zh7u]

need honest review Explain pwm dimming (iphone and other mobile)

[@arshdeepsingh2054]

We need a iphone 15 review !

[@AmanRaj-gy6qv]

Didn’t needed tips, just came for your vlogs 😂

[@marksman6803]

Been using an iP11 .. cant get battery benefits of the true black cause of the lcd .. just waiting to upgrade onto 15 .. just worried cause whenever i use my mom’s oled Samsung , i get headaches …..😂😂😂 .. upgrade gonna be a tricky one …

[@Joseph-il5yc]

I turn on airplane mode and Wi-fi calling when at home. The phone still receives calls and txt messages. It will save some battery %. I turn off location when at home too. Using a shortcut for this makes it less painful.

[@kev5782]

do you make a super dang black icon pack with any color rather than the white on black? or are your icons easily editable in photoshop?

[@thesamuelnam]

Tell me which colour you want. Give us hex code I’ll make a pack just for you. It’s easy to change in photoshop but there are hundreds. I can select all and do it.

[@thesamuelnam]

I’ll post pack for everyone else too.

[@kev5782]

that’s very cool of you. guess i’m more asking if the files are editable png/ico or if the psd’s available. i’m a pro artist so i could handle the photoshopping. likely wouldn’t stick with one color for everything. lazy to build a pack myself, this seems like a great minimalist idea with the oled screen, and i’d like to support your channel. haven’t bought this phone yet, but i’ll pick the pack up if i do.

[@Hmsbora]

Key thing I found with mine which saves a massive chunk of battery was turning 5G/LTE off to 4G only. If you're only using the phone for general web browsing you're not going to see a difference in speed, but doing this I doubled it's life

[@thesamuelnam]

100% I turn off 5g right away and only a handful times when I need the speed l turn it on. Even then, I can barely tell.

[@kev5782]

ironically looking at a 13 mini upgrade from my recently broken 7. figured i needed 5g these days, but i guess not 😂

[@thesamuelnam]

@@kev5782 the fact that 13 mini has better battery than iPhone 12 regular is nuts.

[@Boarderathome]

YOU SHOULD DO WAY MORE VIDEOS!1!!!

[@thesamuelnam]

Keen to do more but have a corporate video production company to run.. I’m hoping I can get to full time KZbin this year. Then you’ll see more content~

[@dzulhaxifnasir9104]

My iPhone 13 mini's SoT is at 3 hours nowadays. BH at 77%. gotta get it changed soon :)

[@thesamuelnam]

Keeping my mini for life man.

[@prabhassaaho3052]

Make a day in the life with pixel pls

[@christiannemike]

you have an iphone but what seems to be a android watch, can you discuss how that works? i want to switch to android watch too bc my apple watch is boring

[@thesamuelnam]

I daily a Pixel 8. Hence the android watch (Ticwatch Pro 5) also have a galaxy watch 6 classic. Trust me, android watch looks good, but they suck in comparison to apple watch in every other way. I have no other choice because of my pixel.

[@kToni73]

What is happening with the Pixel? Still enjoying it?

[@thesamuelnam]

Pixel 8 is still my primary phone. Sooo good.

[@hackneyman]

What's the battery and reception like on the Pixel 8?

[@border4554]

​@@hackneymanit's good no issues if you are considering it

[@thesamuelnam]

@@hackneyman ngl had some issues with reception recently. Carrying my iPhone always, it saved me more than once. I'll probably make another video after my 3rd month with it. Detailing the issues and how bad they are. I can't put my finger on when reception is bad. It seems to be random. Oh and battery seems to be similar to iPhone 15. Gets me through a day with normal 4sot. Need to top up for 5+

[@alexflower-ph7lv]

That would be so much fun, if you named your kids Ben and Gwen

[@shadabshafiwani]

Like the tips here , however the minis aren’t really made for good battery life. They’re the weakest in battery life second only to the SE. The base 15 isn’t even that big of a phone and will save a lot of battery anxiety. Outside of the apple realm though there are the zenfones , flips and what not which give you good battery life without these compromises.

[@thesamuelnam]

Yep, I have a Zenfone 10. KILLER battery.

[@shadabshafiwani]

Yes i know , i see your videos 😊

[@Randomness662]

funny enough, all ive done for my SE 2022 is turn off 5G and it's already getting better battery life than my Pixel 8

Oh i need 5g for sure.
