I have two phones too. But one is a dedicated work phone which I use exclusively for work and has all the necessary apps that help me with my work. The other one is what I call my fun phone. It has netflix, games, everything that you can consider entertainment on it. When I work, I put my fun phone away to avoid distractions. When I am just by myself with nothing to do, I always use the fun phone.
I also own a pair of unique mobile devices used for communication. One is for the trading of contraband items with another member of the human race. The other is used for communicating with another member of the human race to transport these items to various locations
I have an iPhone 13 for work and a basic flip phone for my personal life. I’m very addicted to screens, so having two phones helps me to set boundaries for technology.
No hate or anything but why not get a tablet rather then another phone. Especially like an iPad that can still text over iMessage? Just wondering because I kinda want another phone but I also feel like my iPad helps too
@@coolppl2468 it's not as convenient to carry a tablet or iPad because of the size. I have an iPad and a tablet but I leave them at home and honestly I hardly ever even use them...if I'm home I use my laptop if not my phones. The biggest convenience of using more than 1 phone is the size. You can increase your productivity significantly adding another handheld device which allows you to be able to do so many more things at once since you have the internet at your fingertips and more apps than you could ever imagine but you can still put your phones in your back pockets if you need your hands free. I usually have 1 phone in each hand, looking at info on one and creating docs, posts, etc on the other. Multitasking is an understatement in my world. 😊
I also use 2 phones. An iPhone and an Android. Mainly because of the flexibility. Also to be able to use the hotspot with 2 carriers and as a developer I definitely feel like I need to test on both phones to reach all users.
That’s what I have too, iPhone & Android it makes it easier with friends & chargers/ I let my 2nd iPhone go on purpose for the iPhone charger issue problems. The cable cords suck😆
Luis Krotz: makes sense, especially the two carriers, IMO. Maybe two networks to avoid congestion / problems on one of them. After my background of working on mainframes where when the machine was down you were just SCREWED (before the ability to have system redundancy affordably), it seems like paradise being able to work around that whole problem cheaply and easily. Computer hardware is so cheap now, I've already been doing that for about a decade at home with my laptops. And with a smart phone and a landline with internet DSL and Wifi, there's no single point of failure for any of the hardware, including network connectivity.
Using 2 phones since 2006, always identical. These times however I’m using a 13 mini and a 12 mini. Your logic is pretty much inline with mine. Good video.
I'm glad for the extra justification and I'm not alone. For the past several years, I've been using 2 cells with 2 different numbers. Everyone has my main cell number that I have for over 15 years and only my personal friends/family have my second "secret" number. At nights and weekends I put my main cell on "do not disturb" and only allow a few people/numbers that can call through just in case. I love relaxing on weekends, and using my private cell that my boss and unwanted people do not have and cannot disrupt my peace. It keeps me a little sane.
WOW... This is something to think about!!! I am in the midst of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico to RE-Open my Acting Studio... I have to get a NEW number because it is different area code... and I think it looks more professional if we're in the same AREA CODE... and I was going to let go of the old phone number... but after reading your post... I may not do that. HUM... definitely something to think about... Thank you for your post.

I have two phones for one reason. The best of both worlds. I have the flagship iPhone and the flagship Samsung. Both platforms have apps and abilities the other just doesn’t. Right now I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3.
I prefer to use one phone with two numbers. For example I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max and my personal number is the e-sim and my work number would be the physical sim. On the week ends or when I’m not working I put the work line on always divert or just switch it off. The problem with having two phones is charging two phones every night, mounting two phones whilst driving, connecting to car Bluetooth systems etc. I do a lot of multitasking on my iPhone whilst having my AirPods Pro in my ears.

I totally agree with you 👍 Im all for the productivity i watch so much youtube videos and i can't waste my time only watching i use my second phone for typing,calling or even fun stuf like gaming. I have android and iPhone (s22 ultra and 13 pro) my main device is the iPhone
Oh, do you mean when you are doing one task that requiers to apps? Ok, I see your point. I was originally thinking of multitasking as two different tasks.
Johannes: Yes, but it depends on the nature of the tasks, and what you're actually doing. Also, people have different personalities and ability to focus. So just because it wouldn't work for you doesn't mean it wouldn't work for some folks. About 35 years ago, I was an application programmer at IBM in a completely different world (re the state of computer tech). But productivity and due dates were central to the business and one's career, just like they are today. I told my manager I was having a terrible time getting enough programming done with all the stupid phone calls I was on much of the day (with a phone in one hand -- headsets weren't common much less normal back then). Given that I was already working a ton of overtime and was running a seriously critical project re dates, I got a speakerphone installed that day which fixed that problem right away (funny how IBM could move fast in certain cases). Now, roughly 95% or more of those stupid conference calls only took 5% of my attention (they'd have 20 people in them, wasting 17 peoples' time a lot). So I could program / test away and keep one ear out for my name or something key, and get over 90% of my programming productivity in AND attend the mandatory calls and keep up with what I needed to know. So it really depends on what it is re the nature of the tasks. OTOH, trying to solve complex IT problems over a cell phone while driving isn't so great. When I realized how distracted that made my driving, I would only pull over first, give them a strategy or quick solution, and then drive to work while NOT on the cell phone.
@@rogergeyer9851 you and I think alike apparently!! My dad and I used to bump heads all the time when it came to the topic of multitasking. I'm ADHD so my brain ALWAYS goes 90 to nothing and I am never doing just one thing at a time...which I know isn't necessarily a positive thing because there is such a thing as being present in the moment and taking everything in just enjoying NOTHING but fully embracing ONE thing/place/person, etc...which someone who is a mega-multitasker (haha...that reminded me of "mega-pint" when I typed that 🤣) like I am isn't good at doing just ONE thing without feeling like I'm wasting time not doing more. So my dad's mentality was if I'm doing more than one thing at a time then I'm reducing the effectiveness or accuracy of each task (so if I'm doing 2 things at once, I'm only able to do each task at 50%), which is NOT true. So I challenged him to check my work for accuracy if he thinks I can only half ass each thing I'm doing while I'm multitasking. He had nothing to say when he did just that because he found that my work was 100% accurate even while multitasking. None of us can say one way or another whether a person can or can't do anything unless we are them. My brain works very differently than the majority of people, which for every positive there is a negative I can assure you. I can multitask like a mf'r (excuse my language) and hyperfocus on things spending hours consumed in whatever task I'm working on but I have zero sense of time. I struggle with time blindness that ALWAYS causes problems with other people because they never understand how I can be consumed with things and not realize/know how much time has passed...I can't explain it...but it absolutely happens ALL THE TIME. I've spent my entire life having people argue with me or complain about how I do things or why I do things the way l do and it all books boils down to the way my ADHD brain works. You won't understand it unless you have ADHD and I can't explain it...but my isn't wrong compared to your way and your way isn't wrong compared to my way. They are just DIFFERENT ways and that's perfectly fine. I don't have to understand your way and you don't have to understand mine to respect and appreciate each one individually. If we both work on the same task and both end up with the same end result, does it matter how either one of us achieved that result??? No!!! There's no right or wrong way to do things as long as you end up with the same result, just different ways! 🎤 (mic drop)...getting off my soapbox now. Sorry! 😁
I love LOVE having more than one phone. One for games etc and one for personal calls, texts etc it is worth the investment. Also keep one charging and use the other. No one has just one phone any more.
It's interesting that you said you're an introvert. I try to explain that to people all the time. They ask me how I can run a business and manage sales but be introverted. I try to tell them there is a big difference between being shy or unconfident and being introverted.
@@RoofingInsights3.0 100% correct. I can talk with anyone, and I do, but it drains me and especially crowds. My wife is very extroverted and has people over for get togethers very often. She understands if I need to sneak away to the back or go to the garage for a few minutes to recharge. 😅
I love having 2 phones. Enables me to look things up, use GPS without having to be on speaker, keep something handy or qued up, technical service, security authentication, double freebies, zoom while setting up what I'm learning about, Facebook videos like you said (FB needs to fix that!), etc. Only annoyance is snap chat only allowing one device at a time.
I was required to start using a second phone for work & was so annoyed at the thought of it. Fast forward 6 months & I was hooked. So many times that 2nd phone came handy & even saved me a few times. I did make a conscious effort to set clear phone hours & take a break from both phones every day.
I’m an independent sales agent and just this week started working with two phones. My long term phone has been Android (Galaxy S10 currently), my new contract company gave me an iPhone 11 Pro . This video had great tips! Thank you!
🎉🎉 Dear Dimitry. Keeping two mobiles, really I do not know these kind of 20 benefits and comforts ever. For me it was only two numbers, one for business and other one for privacy with family/friends. (That too not using 95% times usefully) After your elaborated description and the happiness in your face hints everything we all missed. Hereafter, I can use them meaningfully. Thank you Bro. 🎉🎉
WOW great information. I just got a new phone to increase ability of taking better photos of the jewelry I make. I was going to do dual numbers on one phone. One for personal, one for business. But I love both phones. You have convinced me. I will keep my S22 Ultra for personal and use my new Pixel 7 pro for work. Thanks for posting this.
@@renofumi28 I'd wish that were true Reno, coz if mine was a knock off, and had mic problems, it would have been a non-issue. But, I did buy it off apple's official website, so I do admit having a decent amount of expectations on the AirPods.
a lot of these multitasking things are problematic because you shouldn't multitask because it kills productivity by making you keep on switching your focus most of the productivity things like recording yourself or the battery thing is easily fixable like the battery thing can easily be fixed by you establishing a routine you do before bed where you plug in your phone and it would solve the battery problem as well as make you more organised
I used to have 2 phones, but mostly for different occasions. Sometimes I had to work outside. For that I would take my cheap galaxy note 8 that I bought refurbished on Amazon for like $150. The other times I would take my iPhone XS. Now I use an iPhone 13 pro, and I kind of miss having 2 phones. The battery is incredible on this phone, but I always have to take extra care when I’m out working.
I have a Redmi Note 9 pro, 4 years with it but now I'm buying the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, so i can use 2 phones. The old one still works really good so i highly recommend Redmi phones for it's durability. Tip 21: i can play a game on my computer, calling a friend while playing music from the second phone.
I dropped my phone at the airport and the screen stopped responding. It was stressful cause I was supposed to book a cab after landing and call my family. Fortunately I had my boarding pass printed out and people were kind enough to let me use their phone to make a call but I’ve been carrying 2 phones ever since😂
Dimitry you're a legend, great content and reasons. I considered going back to one phone but the fact that you can use two as this day and age it is kind of like having a pocket remote computer and you need a backup. I really like the hotspot reason (need internet everywhere you go), battery and backup device etc. I will keep the two phone setup now.
Using two phones for quite some time now..one for work and another for personal use. Helps me wind down like a pro. My two separate lives are well managed and life seems less cluttered now.
benefit number 21: now you can have two alarms ring at the same time to wake your roommate or neighbour, then they will wake your lazy face up so you can turn off those two alarms.
First time your channel. I was curious about your reasoning behind having two phones, and wondering if I had been missing out any specific purposes for last 4 years of using double phones. Well, it was like - I'm looking at myself into the mirror, including being introvert; which is why I was hesitant a bit first to drop any comment. I will look around a bit more on your channel contents as well.
I've used multi devices for ages now. always keeping a 1 or 2 gen behind as 2nd backups. Mainly I'm carrying 1 each an iPhone personal & Samsung Note for work. As well, the 2nd or 3rd don't even need to be SIM active to use as WiFi 2nd devices. I especially use as in #14, multi streaming. Or 1 to stream while reading & responding to your comments in 2nd of same stream. So many options.
ALTHOUGH HAving two phones can be expensive and double the hassle, in certain situations it can be invaluable - such as a robbery or bank heist hostage situation
That is a huge advantage you mentioned that I liked in the event of having to separate and loan one phone to a friend. Also, when traveling the double battery life helps because the only alternative is carrying those thick power banks and a wire.
I have 3 phones and a tablet. 1 Number though, and while my plan doesn't allow for hotspot, I use an app to get around that so my 2 other phones and my tablet will work off that hotspot. Main reason is the Tablet is old, so I have remote desktop for when i'm out I can use my pc at home while on the go. My 1st ever phone - iPhone 8+ is just old, but my parents didnt wanna get rid of it so gave it to me and when i bought my 1st phone (2nd I had) the Samsung A31, AT&T said it wont work on their new network in 2022, so they sent me a free Samsung Galaxy S9+ and so I just use the hotspot to enjoy my games and make vids and socials on that one, use the old iPhone for the same plus as a iPod (do they even make iPods anymore?) and the Main as a hotspot and main Communicator. Ofc It has battery backup due to the strain of Hotspot, but all the other phones & Tablet use Google Voice for calling. Very effective and fun. Plus dont need that pc with me either since a lighter, cheeper, alternative option using the tablet is here! So yay!
Great video. Having 2 phones is surely not for everyone - not for people who have troubles multitasking, not for ppl who are not interested in gaming/social media. For me it was like opening my eyes for the 1st time - discovery of watching YT while writing emails, commenting, talking on the phone, writing notes/novels, posting on socials. Finally, I have time to do everything. My phones are: better one at home, rugged for outdoors. I use both only at home, one is strictly for outside. If you are a multitasker and social media creator - try it, you won't regret it!
really helpful,already start using iphone11 and s21+,cause i need to use some app but one apple id can not support all,android could fix the problem,i just need to search apk and install.
That’s what I was thinking. The Samsung for my work number. And iPhone for personal. How long have you been using two phones ? Thinking of getting a second SIM card / number for the Samsung to start using for work/business. Besides going to Verizon to add another line to my plan , idk where or how to start using dual phones. I’ve always just switched my SIM card back and forth
@@lincoln6981 Well I’m in the UK so I’m not sure how your carriers work. I have two SIM cards and pay £20 each for unlimited calls, messages and internet. It’s works really well and has definitely helped me out a lot mentally to just switch off whenever I need to
Hey is having a separate phone with no plan or sim card and keep it at your home just for buying, trading and storing cryptos through trust wallet or Exodus apps with your own homes wifi, a safe idea? What do you think?
Exactly what I needed. I was undecided whether to get a second phone or not for content creation and this video definitely helped me make the decision especially when you said about having different angles which is what I want. Parent of four here, so totally get always striving to be efficient. Thanks for sharing.
#16 Since I am moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio this would be a great reason to have 2 phones... Can't have enough iPhones for Pictures and Videos...
Hey bro thank you for this video. i am really getting sick of my phone. it is so distracting. I started to all of the social media and family media ie whatsapp , viber ect. because i can not stop from checking on these apps. You may get this all the time but you look so much like Sean Penn. albeit, a better looking version of him. thanks again bro.
sounds like you need a large screen android rather than 2 iphones. Samsung has split screen, pop out apps, dual social media app support, secure folder (you can install the same app in a separate virtual secure folder) etc
💯 agree! I have 2 phones as well, it helps me a lot working in different states. My Miami # is an iPhone 11- that I use for Instagram & LA # is a cheap smartphone that I use for FB, UA-cam however is on both. I like your trick for recording, I often have clients back track on their own words- recording would be nice
Another two pros are less wear and tear on the charging port since you don't have to use the phone bending the cable while charging and less wear on the battery due to the fact that fast charging isn't needed
It's strange how, even now, many people assume that if you're doing something on a phone it must be trivial. I've had to explain that I'm working more than once.
The problem is when you talk in the first sim, the second sim will go offline. Many of my customers claim that I am offline most of the time, they don't know when they called I was talking through the other sim. I am thinking to use two phones for this reason
Another Best thing you can do by keeping the less frequently used application on your secondary phone, It will save a lot of memory and increase your speed.
i've been using two phones for about a year now...i'm never going back. Most of the reasons you mentioned are very true, especially the fact that on some apps can't be using it AND listen to a podcast at the same time. also instant voice recording available at anytime in case of a phone call received. i don't think i'd ever lend my phone to someone tho! but the biggest factor is, i've never been with a dead phone in 1 years. doesnt matter what the battery capacity of your phone is, someday it's gonna die on you. if you got two phones, you'll barely notice. also, my main phone broke unexpectedly a month ago and had to go get repaired for an entire day. haven't missed out on any work because of my second phone. if i didnt it would have been a nightmare. having two phones is one of the best and underrated life hacks ever.
Great video. Recently one phone kept dying due to it has removable batteries and the batteries went bad. I lost one great job due to being late 10 mins to the training session as phone died. Also I couldnt find my way home, got terribly lost after a wedding going with my family, all because one phone died. I now have 2 mob phones.
If people call me weird at work for having 2 phones I will say it's my backup phone I refuse to give up my BlackShark 4 Pro thanks for giving me a reason to keep it on me I can keep it in my jacket pocket.
Ive been using 2 phones for almost 7 years now. It started since I had an app development company earlier and I was also a tester for our apps on iOS and Android. But since then I've just gotten so used to having 2 phones. My primary is an iPhone SE for calls and messages and emails. And my Huawei P30 pro is my main content consumption device. Both phones last a whole day without any issues. I doubt any single phone out in the market would. P30 pro specifically since it has an IR blaster. Otherwise any android would do.
I have an iphone 14 pro and Samsung s23 plus. Have 2 calling sims and one unlimited data. What you thisnk is advisable to put two calling sims in iphone and unlimited data sim in samsung ir share in between the two?
This is a very great video thank you! I am an entertainer, dancer, artist, I go live on TikTok all of the time and was thinking about how it increase my productivity if I get two phones. I always end up needing to play music and it's always a hassle because then I would have to bring my laptop, put it on the bluetooth and connect it with another power source in order to get music while I'm live so I can dance. Two phones would really help this concept top where I can just have to bring my 2 phones instead of a backpack whereever I go. Not even including the power brick that it would take in order to power the laptop for over 1 hour. As well as my power indulging activity of going live on my phone all the time. I could never accept calls if I needed to or look something up if I needed to know something. I couldn't reply to texts or it would pause my livestream and lose viewers and connectivity with the live. These are all situations that can be helped with the use of 2 phones. So I believe I will get 2 phones in the need of extra productivity in the time that I have. Time is limited, If you learn how to spend your time wisely and in maximum productivity while also considering the time to relax and chill in order to be happy, you should always better every aspect of yourself that you might have.
If I know the company I'm calling have a long wait before getting to me and is known to drop the call before hand. I call from both phones. Sometimes the second phone that dialed gets picked up first.
Currently using Asus Zenfone 9 and iPhone 14 Pro Max both on service to very much get the best of both worlds. These phones are literally so amazing in their own way and I'll never go back to one phone. I usually leave my iPhone in my backpack or my truck just in case of emergencies or a dead battery on my Android. I just think the connections are much quicker on Android I find.
Just get you a solid android device instead of the Iphones like a Samsung Note or s.t. You can literally split screen and work on two things on the same time on the same screen.
i was confused before to use 2 phone or use 1 but but but the way u explain and give examples that open my 3rd eye... thank you for this information video..by the way my gf like ur eye color😒😒
Found this looking for productivity tips. Two devices (iPad plus iPhone) in my case is good. I also use downtime and am brutal about only keeping the apps I need on each one. I am interested in trying an android too though, so might swap the iPad for an android phone

@Throughthelurkingglass the radiation can decrease your package size
The only problem with multitasking is that you have less fokus on each task
Agreed
That COULD be true except when both tasks are intertwined so that your focus has to be on both to do either correctly.
Oh, do you mean when you are doing one task that requiers to apps? Ok, I see your point. I was originally thinking of multitasking as two different tasks.
Johannes: Yes, but it depends on the nature of the tasks, and what you're actually doing. Also, people have different personalities and ability to focus. So just because it wouldn't work for you doesn't mean it wouldn't work for some folks.

OTOH, trying to solve complex IT problems over a cell phone while driving isn't so great. When I realized how distracted that made my driving, I would only pull over first, give them a strategy or quick solution, and then drive to work while NOT on the cell phone.
@@rogergeyer9851 you and I think alike apparently!! My dad and I used to bump heads all the time when it came to the topic of multitasking. I'm ADHD so my brain ALWAYS goes 90 to nothing and I am never doing just one thing at a time...which I know isn't necessarily a positive thing because there is such a thing as being present in the moment and taking everything in just enjoying NOTHING but fully embracing ONE thing/place/person, etc...which someone who is a mega-multitasker (haha...that reminded me of "mega-pint" when I typed that 🤣) like I am isn't good at doing just ONE thing without feeling like I'm wasting time not doing more. So my dad's mentality was if I'm doing more than one thing at a time then I'm reducing the effectiveness or accuracy of each task (so if I'm doing 2 things at once, I'm only able to do each task at 50%), which is NOT true. So I challenged him to check my work for accuracy if he thinks I can only half ass each thing I'm doing while I'm multitasking. He had nothing to say when he did just that because he found that my work was 100% accurate even while multitasking. None of us can say one way or another whether a person can or can't do anything unless we are them. My brain works very differently than the majority of people, which for every positive there is a negative I can assure you. I can multitask like a mf'r (excuse my language) and hyperfocus on things spending hours consumed in whatever task I'm working on but I have zero sense of time. I struggle with time blindness that ALWAYS causes problems with other people because they never understand how I can be consumed with things and not realize/know how much time has passed...I can't explain it...but it absolutely happens ALL THE TIME. I've spent my entire life having people argue with me or complain about how I do things or why I do things the way l do and it all books boils down to the way my ADHD brain works. You won't understand it unless you have ADHD and I can't explain it...but my isn't wrong compared to your way and your way isn't wrong compared to my way. They are just DIFFERENT ways and that's perfectly fine. I don't have to understand your way and you don't have to understand mine to respect and appreciate each one individually. If we both work on the same task and both end up with the same end result, does it matter how either one of us achieved that result??? No!!! There's no right or wrong way to do things as long as you end up with the same result, just different ways! 🎤 (mic drop)...getting off my soapbox now. Sorry! 😁
I love LOVE having more than one phone. One for games etc and one for personal calls, texts etc it is worth the investment. Also keep one charging and use the other. No one has just one phone any more.
It's interesting that you said you're an introvert. I try to explain that to people all the time. They ask me how I can run a business and manage sales but be introverted. I try to tell them there is a big difference between being shy or unconfident and being introverted.
yes, it is weird combination: you can be a "go getter" but afraid to start a conversation
@@RoofingInsights3.0 100% correct. I can talk with anyone, and I do, but it drains me and especially crowds. My wife is very extroverted and has people over for get togethers very often. She understands if I need to sneak away to the back or go to the garage for a few minutes to recharge. 😅
I love having 2 phones. Enables me to look things up, use GPS without having to be on speaker, keep something handy or qued up, technical service, security authentication, double freebies, zoom while setting up what I'm learning about, Facebook videos like you said (FB needs to fix that!), etc. Only annoyance is snap chat only allowing one device at a time.
What’s Snapchat?
@@RoofingInsights3.0 😆
I love the comments on this video...I've finally found "my people" who all think alike. Carry on my multiple phone friends! 😁
I was required to start using a second phone for work & was so annoyed at the thought of it. Fast forward 6 months & I was hooked. So many times that 2nd phone came handy & even saved me a few times. I did make a conscious effort to set clear phone hours & take a break from both phones every day.
I’m an independent sales agent and just this week started working with two phones. My long term phone has been Android (Galaxy S10 currently), my new contract company gave me an iPhone 11 Pro . This video had great tips! Thank you!
🎉🎉 Dear Dimitry. Keeping two mobiles, really I do not know these kind of 20 benefits and comforts ever. For me it was only two numbers, one for business and other one for privacy with family/friends. (That too not using 95% times usefully) After your elaborated description and the happiness in your face hints everything we all missed. Hereafter, I can use them meaningfully. Thank you Bro. 🎉🎉
WOW great information. I just got a new phone to increase ability of taking better photos of the jewelry I make. I was going to do dual numbers on one phone. One for personal, one for business. But I love both phones. You have convinced me. I will keep my S22 Ultra for personal and use my new Pixel 7 pro for work. Thanks for posting this.
I’ve been been using 2 cell phone since 2015 . I use the phones primarily playing the stock market . Small and handy
1:40 - having a pair of bluetooth headphones would be much more cost effective, as u can listen to the caller and multitask.
which brand would you recommend, my last AirPods have a very bad mic, my conversation partner always have a hard time hearing me
@@sutdhinanchaowonglert9312 that's not your airpods fault, that's your fault for buying airpods knockoff
@@renofumi28 I'd wish that were true Reno, coz if mine was a knock off, and had mic problems, it would have been a non-issue. But, I did buy it off apple's official website, so I do admit having a decent amount of expectations on the AirPods.
@@sutdhinanchaowonglert9312 all Bluetooth headsets have terrible mic quality, it is a Bluetooth issue.
@@ChairWoodenFloor1 salute！
Having 2 phones for me works and one for work and one for leisure, helps me focus and multitask
a lot of these multitasking things are problematic because you shouldn't multitask because it kills productivity by making you keep on switching your focus
most of the productivity things like recording yourself or the battery thing is easily fixable
like the battery thing can easily be fixed by you establishing a routine you do before bed where you plug in your phone and it would solve the battery problem as well as make you more organised
The battery last only few hours
Google Pixel in one Pocket, iPhone 12 Pro Max, in the other. Best of both worlds, and my productivity has increased a lot.
My same exact set up . Pixel 6 and iPhone 12 pro max
@@wright813 facts
Same to me
iPhone 13 Pro in one and Google Pixel 6 in the other. iPhone for personal use, Google for business 👌
Yes... I was very impressed with how sharp the image is on the 12 Pro Max...
Do you still have yours... Would you recommend it? Or upgrade?
Good advice. I know with one phone I am limited, sometimes I think my one phone will blow up or melt from overuse
I have the same feeling about my two phones....
I used to have 2 phones, but mostly for different occasions. Sometimes I had to work outside. For that I would take my cheap galaxy note 8 that I bought refurbished on Amazon for like $150. The other times I would take my iPhone XS. Now I use an iPhone 13 pro, and I kind of miss having 2 phones. The battery is incredible on this phone, but I always have to take extra care when I’m out working.
I have a Redmi Note 9 pro, 4 years with it but now I'm buying the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, so i can use 2 phones. The old one still works really good so i highly recommend Redmi phones for it's durability.
Tip 21: i can play a game on my computer, calling a friend while playing music from the second phone.
I dropped my phone at the airport and the screen stopped responding. It was stressful cause I was supposed to book a cab after landing and call my family. Fortunately I had my boarding pass printed out and people were kind enough to let me use their phone to make a call but I’ve been carrying 2 phones ever since😂
Dimitry you're a legend, great content and reasons. I considered going back to one phone but the fact that you can use two as this day and age it is kind of like having a pocket remote computer and you need a backup. I really like the hotspot reason (need internet everywhere you go), battery and backup device etc. I will keep the two phone setup now.
Just got a second phone from T-Mobile cus I know the right people, can’t wait to watch this video and hopefully be more productive
Using two phones for quite some time now..one for work and another for personal use. Helps me wind down like a pro. My two separate lives are well managed and life seems less cluttered now.
How do you have your phones set up ?
Wireless headphones would solve half of these problems but some interesting ideas for sure
Best 2 phone video on UA-cam. Do you use 2 different apple IDs?
Yea I do
I've had two phones for years now, for alot of the same reasons. Glad someone made a video about it. I think it should be more common.
benefit number 21:
now you can have two alarms ring at the same time to wake your roommate or neighbour, then they will wake your lazy face up so you can turn off those two alarms.
lol
No, they will slap your face and ask you to turn off 🤣🤣
I'm looking for a 2nd phone right now. thanks for sharing
First time your channel.
I was curious about your reasoning behind having two phones, and wondering if I had been missing out any specific purposes for last 4 years of using double phones.
Well, it was like - I'm looking at myself into the mirror, including being introvert; which is why I was hesitant a bit first to drop any comment.
I will look around a bit more on your channel contents as well.
Welcome to the channel!! Thanks!
@@RoofingInsights3.0 My pleasure
I've used multi devices for ages now. always keeping a 1 or 2 gen behind as 2nd backups. Mainly I'm carrying 1 each an iPhone personal & Samsung Note for work. As well, the 2nd or 3rd don't even need to be SIM active to use as WiFi 2nd devices. I especially use as in #14, multi streaming. Or 1 to stream while reading & responding to your comments in 2nd of same stream. So many options.
ALTHOUGH HAving two phones can be expensive and double the hassle, in certain situations it can be invaluable - such as a robbery or bank heist hostage situation
I’ve had 2 phones for 2 years now, helps me separate business from personal! GPS on one while on the phone business call for another.
Yep, once you used two phones it’s hard to go back to one
You use both android/iphone or use 1 android 1 iphone?
This video helped me out a lot! On my way to get a second phone because of this video
2:41 - a portable slim power battery pack can be used. Or charging phone cases
Nice thing about Samsung. Reverse wireless charging. Be glad when Apple does something similar. If they ever.
I Also Have 2phones Because I Have A Gold Shop So I Need It .
Sounds like something for Apple users. Great video by the way. ✌️
I think 🤔 I'm going to start using two phones too.. cos all that you said sounds like fun
That is a huge advantage you mentioned that I liked in the event of having to separate and loan one phone to a friend. Also, when traveling the double battery life helps because the only alternative is carrying those thick power banks and a wire.
I have 3 phones and a tablet. 1 Number though, and while my plan doesn't allow for hotspot, I use an app to get around that so my 2 other phones and my tablet will work off that hotspot.
Main reason is the Tablet is old, so I have remote desktop for when i'm out I can use my pc at home while on the go. My 1st ever phone - iPhone 8+ is just old, but my parents didnt wanna get rid of it so gave it to me and when i bought my 1st phone (2nd I had) the Samsung A31, AT&T said it wont work on their new network in 2022, so they sent me a free Samsung Galaxy S9+ and so I just use the hotspot to enjoy my games and make vids and socials on that one, use the old iPhone for the same plus as a iPod (do they even make iPods anymore?) and the Main as a hotspot and main Communicator. Ofc It has battery backup due to the strain of Hotspot, but all the other phones & Tablet use Google Voice for calling. Very effective and fun. Plus dont need that pc with me either since a lighter, cheeper, alternative option using the tablet is here! So yay!
Great video. Having 2 phones is surely not for everyone - not for people who have troubles multitasking, not for ppl who are not interested in gaming/social media. For me it was like opening my eyes for the 1st time - discovery of watching YT while writing emails, commenting, talking on the phone, writing notes/novels, posting on socials. Finally, I have time to do everything. My phones are: better one at home, rugged for outdoors. I use both only at home, one is strictly for outside. If you are a multitasker and social media creator - try it, you won't regret it!
really helpful,already start using iphone11 and s21+,cause i need to use some app but one apple id can not support all,android could fix the problem,i just need to search apk and install.
iPhone 13 Pro in one and Google Pixel 6 in the other. iPhone for personal use, Google for business 👌
That’s what I was thinking. The Samsung for my work number. And iPhone for personal. How long have you been using two phones ? Thinking of getting a second SIM card / number for the Samsung to start using for work/business. Besides going to Verizon to add another line to my plan , idk where or how to start using dual phones. I’ve always just switched my SIM card back and forth
@@lincoln6981 Well I’m in the UK so I’m not sure how your carriers work. I have two SIM cards and pay £20 each for unlimited calls, messages and internet. It’s works really well and has definitely helped me out a lot mentally to just switch off whenever I need to
Hey is having a separate phone with no plan or sim card and keep it at your home just for buying, trading and storing cryptos through trust wallet or Exodus apps with your own homes wifi, a safe idea? What do you think?
Exactly what I needed. I was undecided whether to get a second phone or not for content creation and this video definitely helped me make the decision especially when you said about having different angles which is what I want. Parent of four here, so totally get always striving to be efficient. Thanks for sharing.

Since I am moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio this would be a great reason to have 2 phones... Can't have enough iPhones for Pictures and Videos...
If I am going somewhere with Dmitry I will be always forgetting my phone 😂 jokes aside , nice tricks now I am seriously thinking about 2nd phone 📱📱
I have three cell phones! One for life, work and school!
I gave you my like because you have the time slots and titles on your description. Good job!
Hey bro thank you for this video. i am really getting sick of my phone. it is so distracting. I started to all of the social media and family media ie whatsapp , viber ect. because i can not stop from checking on these apps.
You may get this all the time but you look so much like Sean Penn. albeit, a better looking version of him. thanks again bro.
I have two phones, one for work and one for personal. The work one gets turned off as soon as I get home.
sounds like you need a large screen android rather than 2 iphones. Samsung has split screen, pop out apps, dual social media app support, secure folder (you can install the same app in a separate virtual secure folder) etc
I use 2 phones also I have a iPhone 13 for personal and I use an iPhone 8 for business
Do have two different Apple ID for each phone or the same?
💯 agree! I have 2 phones as well, it helps me a lot working in different states. My Miami # is an iPhone 11- that I use for Instagram & LA # is a cheap smartphone that I use for FB, UA-cam however is on both. I like your trick for recording, I often have clients back track on their own words- recording would be nice
Sir Can You Make A Video On Apps That I Have On My Phones Of Both The Phones So That We Can Get A Idea! 🙏
Another two pros are less wear and tear on the charging port since you don't have to use the phone bending the cable while charging and less wear on the battery due to the fact that fast charging isn't needed
It's strange how, even now, many people assume that if you're doing something on a phone it must be trivial. I've had to explain that I'm working more than once.
I mean 90% of the time it's probably not work though.
Question, do you have the same Apple ID on both phones?
I have a Iphone and Samsung on order to replace my old Note 8 , alot of my stuff like TV's and car support apple features which im excited to use.
Since this is over a year ago...
Which iPhone do you suggest...
I have the iPhone 8+ and need to buy a new iPhone.
you may need a foldable case with two phones in it ；D
3:04 - recent phones have 2 numbers using either two sims or using an e-sim
The problem is when you talk in the first sim, the second sim will go offline. Many of my customers claim that I am offline most of the time, they don't know when they called I was talking through the other sim. I am thinking to use two phones for this reason
Another Best thing you can do by keeping the less frequently used application on your secondary phone, It will save a lot of memory and increase your speed.
i've been using two phones for about a year now...i'm never going back.
Most of the reasons you mentioned are very true, especially the fact that on some apps can't be using it AND listen to a podcast at the same time. also instant voice recording available at anytime in case of a phone call received. i don't think i'd ever lend my phone to someone tho!
but the biggest factor is, i've never been with a dead phone in 1 years. doesnt matter what the battery capacity of your phone is, someday it's gonna die on you. if you got two phones, you'll barely notice. also, my main phone broke unexpectedly a month ago and had to go get repaired for an entire day. haven't missed out on any work because of my second phone. if i didnt it would have been a nightmare.
having two phones is one of the best and underrated life hacks ever.
your phone cases appear to have magnets? it's the only thing keeping me from going double; i'd like a versatile case/cases that snap together
Great video. Recently one phone kept dying due to it has removable batteries and the batteries went bad. I lost one great job due to being late 10 mins to the training session as phone died. Also I couldnt find my way home, got terribly lost after a wedding going with my family, all because one phone died. I now have 2 mob phones.
If people call me weird at work for having 2 phones I will say it's my backup phone I refuse to give up my BlackShark 4 Pro thanks for giving me a reason to keep it on me I can keep it in my jacket pocket.
ITSO good information thanks 👍
One android & one iphone. Perfect
Ive been using 2 phones for almost 7 years now. It started since I had an app development company earlier and I was also a tester for our apps on iOS and Android. But since then I've just gotten so used to having 2 phones. My primary is an iPhone SE for calls and messages and emails. And my Huawei P30 pro is my main content consumption device. Both phones last a whole day without any issues. I doubt any single phone out in the market would. P30 pro specifically since it has an IR blaster. Otherwise any android would do.
I just like having an iPhone and Samsung. Both ecosystems have benefits making it really hard to choose one or the other so why not have both?
I just want to know, when you are in a situation where you need to use a phone like taking a picture, which phone you take out? iphone or the samsung?
@@Vinzeefritts Haha I have the 12 pro max and note 10 plus so both are great. Whichever is in my pocket at the given moment I suppose
Do you use same apple id on both iphones or different apple id's.
Awesome thank you for all this, gives me great inspiration after watching your video
I would like to know, how people carry two phones? If there is wallet in one pocket, should we carry two phones in the same pocket?
2:00 - apps can be downloaded to record phone calls.
I have an iphone 14 pro and Samsung s23 plus. Have 2 calling sims and one unlimited data. What you thisnk is advisable to put two calling sims in iphone and unlimited data sim in samsung ir share in between the two?
This is a very great video thank you! I am an entertainer, dancer, artist, I go live on TikTok all of the time and was thinking about how it increase my productivity if I get two phones. I always end up needing to play music and it's always a hassle because then I would have to bring my laptop, put it on the bluetooth and connect it with another power source in order to get music while I'm live so I can dance. Two phones would really help this concept top where I can just have to bring my 2 phones instead of a backpack whereever I go. Not even including the power brick that it would take in order to power the laptop for over 1 hour. As well as my power indulging activity of going live on my phone all the time. I could never accept calls if I needed to or look something up if I needed to know something. I couldn't reply to texts or it would pause my livestream and lose viewers and connectivity with the live. These are all situations that can be helped with the use of 2 phones. So I believe I will get 2 phones in the need of extra productivity in the time that I have. Time is limited, If you learn how to spend your time wisely and in maximum productivity while also considering the time to relax and chill in order to be happy, you should always better every aspect of yourself that you might have.
I got two phones, one for the plug and one for the load
If I know the company I'm calling have a long wait before getting to me and is known to drop the call before hand. I call from both phones. Sometimes the second phone that dialed gets picked up first.
I also have 2 phones and I want to go back but its just not possibel
I agree 100%. Just curious, how you carry both in your pocket?
You only have 1 pocket?
I put both phones in ONE pocket
@@ChillydontCap lol
Currently using Asus Zenfone 9 and iPhone 14 Pro Max both on service to very much get the best of both worlds.
These phones are literally so amazing in their own way and I'll never go back to one phone. I usually leave my iPhone in my backpack or my truck just in case of emergencies or a dead battery on my Android. I just think the connections are much quicker on Android I find.
Are you using a green screen background? Why wouldn't you sit in that nice desk behind you?
This is not green screen
It kinda looks like because why would you sit in that cheap desk when you got that fancy one behind you ?
@@dannyveras I agree -- I noticed it as well and thought it was weird.
you are a genius!
Love it, been doing this for years too.
My question is did you use the same Apple ID on two phones 📱
Just get you a solid android device instead of the Iphones like a Samsung Note or s.t. You can literally split screen and work on two things on the same time on the same screen.
Plus add a cellular smart watch and a wireless headphones and you're good to go
i was confused before to use 2 phone or use 1 but but but the way u explain and give examples that open my 3rd eye... thank you for this information video..by the way my gf like ur eye color😒😒
I wish we live a life wihtout any phone.
Found this looking for productivity tips. Two devices (iPad plus iPhone) in my case is good. I also use downtime and am brutal about only keeping the apps I need on each one. I am interested in trying an android too though, so might swap the iPad for an android phone
You were very helpful. Thank you.
Great video! Do you carry them both at all times? Don't you find it annoying carry them both in your pockets? Isn't it a hassle?
I always have two phones in my hands. Doesn’t bother me at all!
