Many thanks for the mention of our Before Launcher app. I'll mention a few other features: no ads, privacy centered, never a subscription and the notification filter (to cut down on unnecessary interuptions).
No problem, such an honour for you to have seen this video! I completely agree, those features definitely helped a lot with my own intentionality of the phone usage! Thanks for creating such an amazing app!
I have a problem with battery drain when using Before Launcher. Is there a way to optimise it? I also use Unihertz Jelly Star. Besides this issue the app is perfect for me.
I was looking for a launcher like this which wasn't stuck behind a monthly subscription. Thank you for the shout out 😊
bro turning off notification and grayscale definitly helps a lot in the beginning. good vid!
Yeah it really does! Thank you buddy! 👍
u're also a SWM streamer!!
I found this so calming 🙏. Thanks for the info! Seems like a great little device. 🎉
It really is, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Amazing tech vids as always bro 👌
Thanks bro, appreciate the love as always 🙌
informative review and great tips on reducing down screen time!
Thanks so much buddy! 👍
Such nice one for focusing on studies without distractions..🌸Thanks alot..🎉
That’s so nice, thanks so much!
This is me! Glad to see others doing the same!
Oh wow, amazing to hear!
Next time.. please also make a video on your hair routine. coz..God Damn! 🤩
Great Review and commentary on going minimal in today's digital world. One question? - How did you get the black wallpaper?
I just search on google for a all black wallpaper
you have NO IDEA (well i guess maybe you do haha) how helpful this is for me
That's amazing, i'm so glad to hear this has been helpful!! I think both the LP3 and the jelly star are great options, i guess the deciding factor for most people are: one has whatsapp and the other does not. Thanks so much for this lovely message! 😄🪴
Awesome job Owen!!💫👏🏻 Your creativity always shines through and your effort is really evident, Keep going strong!!🤍
Thank you so much for such an sweet and wholesome comment Imane! It means a lot to me!🥰
A black wallpaper only saves battery if it’s an OLED screen, your display looks more greyish because it’s an LCD.
@@Entertainment- You're absolutely right, it is an LCD screen so it won't save battery on this specific device 👍
Serious Zune vibes. Love it!
oh yeahhh, a blast from the past!!
great advices. thanks a lot :)
@@brize9819 😊
So basically its a smartphone that looks dumb lol.Honestly this video is quite good! I always struggle with battery life when it comes to dumb phones. All the things that you mentioned about the phone was really helpful. The presentation was very organised. Also thanks for the tips about the reductions of phone usage.
Keep going Owen! 🍀
Thanks so much Avery, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for always being so supportive 💛
great review! I've been using the f21pro with the Minimalism launcher. its nice to have buttons and switching between t9 text or using my thumb to swype text. drawback is it's android 11, no nfc, slightly inaccurate gps, or accelerometer, wack camera. I'd love to move to the jellystar but i'm really gonna miss the buttons to text with 😢
Yeah the f21 pro is also a really good phone too! But you’re right unfortunately the jelly star doesn’t have it, nothing beats the physical buttons!! 😮💨
Watching this on a jelly star. And hearing that it is not a phone to watch videos 😂
@@_stocchero_ hahahah that’s funny 🤣
great video ty
@@jamessturgillii9987 thank you buddy!
WOW!!...👏👏great video...with a lot of information
well done!!...PERFECT!
Thank you shruti! And yeah I realise it was a lot of information 🤣
please do a video on the cat flip s22 as i was thinking of getting the cat
Sure i got chu, I will get a review out soon!
I have both get jelly star
Thanks for making this video! I've been trying to curb my phone addiction and had my eye on the Jelly Star and this review was perfect. I was planning on switching the SIM between this and my Google Pixel as I am not completely ready to transition to a dumb(er) phone full time. Do you know if this would be an issue with the Jelly Star? Thanks again
No that sounds absolutely fine! I actually started out in a very similar way too, and slowly transitioning in is definitely the best way to do it! Good luck with it all!
what I did to reduce screen time was turning my screen in the android settings to black and white
You're absolutely right, turning on grey scale is one of the best ways to reduce screen time!
I ordered such a phone today. It's stressful when you have your phone in your hand all the time. The time before smartphones was better
Good to hear, and yes I completely agree, the time before smartphone were so much better!!
Before launcher doesn’t seem to be available on Apple Store. Any other suggestions?
@@qldavis3005 I think it’s only available on google play and not app store, so it’s only available on android as of now
how is the speaker is it loud enough so you can hear if someone call you?
The speaker quality is good and the volume does get very loud and clear which is great! 👍
Want to decluter your life? First buy phone that you can use as dumb phone like Iphone 4 you need a good battery life, second buy a tablet for media consumption
@@AdreanGorobao That’s a great way to do it for sure!
oh ps, does this do sideways texting like the LP? my brain really likes that for some reason lol
Unfortuneatly the default texting keypad does not, when you rotate the screen while texting the keypad becomes weird and scrunched up in a corner, but im sure there is an app you can install which does this!
Normal and heavy usage for you lasts over a day? Mine lasts 3 hours. I do not understand how you're getting such long usage times.
I guess the how we classify normal usage differs from person to person, but you should be getting a lot longer than 3 hours?! Perhaps contact Unihertz about this? it sounds like you might have a faulty device
What about phone call quality and reception? Yeah it has apps and all but that's useless if you can't be used as a phone.
@@googlesucks6029 call quality and reception are both really good from my use, sounds just as good as any smart phone 👍
This phone reminds me of my first mobile, Samsung Galaxy 5
Ah cool, you’re right actually, it had a very similar design, just without the buttons
great video but just letting you know you may have leaked someones phone number while talking about whatsapp around 7 minutes, you can edit/blur this retroactively in youtube studio i'm pretty sure
Thank so much for letting me know! I completely forgot about that, but i just double checked and the ones that doesn't have a name are spams! Thanks again!
Pardon, could you list the apps you have installed on the phone?
Sure! These are apps i currently have: amex, audible, calendar, calm, Legit fit, Oura, Podcasts, Trainline, spotify, whatsapp, whoop, youtube
@@OwenSeamons Thanks, I guess UA-cam is needed for work, otherwise I wouldn't (personally) consider it as an essential tool.
@@Skundef Yeah you’re right, for most people I would suggest removing UA-cam, unless it is part of their work
light phone 3 soon
Yeah super exciting! Video on that coming soon too👀
Mat. Hang. Này. Con. Không
eSIM ??
@@Jacviz09 unfortunately no
That’s an iPhone 13 Pro not an 15 pro
Yeah you're right, i didn't realise i said 15 instead of 13. My mistake! 😆
🌟🎀🤏🏻
💫🙌
I watch it on the metro 😂.......
well about the battery, ram, storage, this is good. now there are many phones that have a strong battery and big storage compared to a small phone... but the cameraaa . Im sooo surprised how from a small phone to an iPhone, this is really amazing .....🤯🤯
Yes stop using phones and social media....... thats mean you need a phone like this ..or change it to a dumbphone.
Unfortunately all my studying requires Instagram and UA-cam. If I don't take care and focus 👨🌾 , I will lose all my time.😬
sooo well done bro thats amazing thank you for everything. I will try using phones like this verryyy soon🤩 . ....
I think Unihertz is mad at you because you turned it from a very smart phone into a dumbphone 😂😂💛
You are right Mina, it is difficult to switch to a phone like this when you need it for studies or work, but I think you’ll find a way to make it work. Hahahah I hope I didn’t upset the team at unihertz 😂
the video is very good ı love this video , well done owen, the phone is very useful, I like it
Thank you Busra, you’re so kind, thank you for the support 😆✨
This is so informative thanks Owen 🙌🖤🤍
Thanks so much Meem 😊💛
