Very few things are made above 1080. Outside of some photos, a handful of videos, nothing is beyond 1080 yet. It’s coming, but we aren’t there yet. Plus it’s not really noticeable outside a tv or laptop. Even with that, frame rates come into play. 1080 at 30fps looks like trash on anything outside of a phone. 1080 at 120fps is like looking out a window on anything. A great example of 1080 perfection is a documentary called “100 Days Of Solitude.” Watch that and tell me it’s not like you are there, 1080 or not.
@@spartan8390 The difference between 1440P and 1080P is noticable to me, especially now that I am used to it. It depends on the screensize of course. But if you don't use the best feature of a phone you really should not get that phone
@@spartan8390 I loved the 1440p 5.3 inch screen on my LG G5 it's the main thing that kept me from upgrading until the S9. Lots of other phone's screens just looked bad in terms of resolution and I never watched a video in 1080p if I had the option for 1440p to much of a difference. I guess I just have young nearsighted eyes
That's such an inscrutably small "issue" why even comment it? You can turn it on if you want, it's easy as hell, and you don't even know all the reasons for the automatic setup.
boogie56ace i know right? I mean i did enjoy the video but what's the point of having an expensive flagship phone if u have to turn of or tone down all the settings that make it a flagship anyway?
When I read BEAST MODE I though maybe you would talk about the S9's overclocking performance mode, but instead you gave the same exact generic battery saving tutorial that has been made for every android phone ever... Disappointing...
It's absolutely pointless to clear memory in Android. Unused memory is wasted memory. Don't clear your RAM! It does no good. Android is optimized to do it for you. Leave it alone
I understand what you're saying, and generally I'd agree, but if your RAM is nearly or fully full, it'll start swapping to the storage, which will in fact slow down your phone. Android is good at optimizing RAM usage, but it's not perfect. Sometimes there will be some apps you rarely use still lingering in the RAM.
And thats where the built-in application called device management comes in. it scans and allows you to clear apps that are running in the background that are not needed. Similar to manual optimization. I do this and have never had an issue.
No it doesn't. Phones only use power when they're actually doing stuff in the background and apps are limited on what they're allowed to do when they're asleep. It takes no more power to keep apps in memory than it does to keep memory empty. However loading data into memory DOES use power, so when you clear your memory - which to be clear, isn't draining your battery, you're forcing apps that would have otherwise opened immediately, to now waste battery to load them back into memory. In short: Clearing your memory frequently will actually hurt your battery life more than help it.
For Number 8 about the SD card, you dont have to use a samsung brand card. But you need to make sure you have a "class 10" rated card. He said, blah blah "check that you dont get fakes" but he said nothing about the class. Class 10 are the speed rating and any brand that offers the correct speed is good enough. So for revision, Check that you get a Class 10 rated card, brand doesnt have any effect.
Samsung thought of all the tiny things they would have to cut down on when they implemented these different features and decided that it was well worth it to do so. Turning off all these new and cool features you won't get on any other phone isn't exactly what I paid $800 for, even if it means that I'd have to deal with truly miniscule performance downgrade. Personally, I think Samsung knows what they're doing, and they put enough power and shit into their industry-leading phones that I think that your S9 will still be faster and cooler than 99% of the phones out there. TL;DR: "Beast Mode" more like "Least Mode."
If you choose the gesture instead of pressing the button on one handed mode, it will not slow down going back home. I tried it and it feels just as fast as if one handed mode was off. Just wanted to point that out. Great video as always man!
A NOTE here for the tip at 1:00... I normally disable all three scales, but If using Edge-Lighting notification (via phone or 3rd. party apps) be sure NOT TO DISABLE ''Animation Duration Scale'. Disabling it will also disable edge-lighting. Keep it on .5x instead. I learnt that by trial-and-error. :-)
(1) _'Most minimal settings possible'_ is an awkward say of saying _'minimal options enabled.'_ (2) Following all of the recommendations in the video would not result in anything close to a 'most minimal' configuration. (3) User-configurable settings / options enable users to tailor the phone based on their individual use case(s), preferences, and so on: security, privacy, UI/accessibility, hardware settings, and on and on. (4) OEM bloat has been an endemic problem in end-user computing since well before the turn of the century; smartphones are no exception to the rule, and Samsung has long had a reputation for needlessly / questionably degrading hardware performance with their customized UI. (5) What's the point in having a powerful mobile device if (a) you're too lazy to configure it to protect your privacy, and (b) it's a paperweight in your pocket because you chewed through the battery needlessly?
I got this phone on launch day and I barely found this video. I haven't had any issues thus far but I implanted this stuff anyways cuz I want that beast mode lol. Except the screen I turned it up to maximum resolution instead cuz I want that crispy hd ya know
biggs949597 s Ya Also even if you have big hands, 6.2" phone is not useable in one hand especially after you put a case on it, which is compulsory on these slim bezels and curved screen phones. Only thing is the 6gb ram, which future proofs the phone
I went with the plus....I mean 100 bucks more for the dual camera and more ram....it was enticed me a little more this go around....I normally don't go plus..but this year I did
Nick you can just hold down the Bixby button and tell her to get in any setting you want so easy and convenient no search nessary no other phone doe's that give Bixby a try I would suggest turning off the Bixby home a and button but otherwise give it a try great video tho👍
yes, I disabled the Bixby home screen, like the video said. But that does not disable Bixby. I still can press the button on left to access Bixby. If you've ever seen the movie "Her", you know my situation. :-)
Or just remap bixby to do whatever you want. Single press- home Single hold - screen shot Double press- flashlight Double hold- toggle immersive Walah instant awesome. You can go further and remap volume to be back and recent and you can have 100% screen. Yaaaay
I did this on a Samsung prepaid phone the latest one I changed the minimum width in developer options menu from 360 dp to 720 dp this made it look better and and now it’s working more like a tablet device than a smartphone.
I have watched two videos that you did on the 9 and the Note 9, thank you. It's awesome. I do have one question though, when deleting cache, the deleted cache is automatically there when you leave the app. Why is this?
For the 0.5 animation time, does the developer mode affect to the phone at any possible way? Does it make it worse? And how do I quit from the mode? VERY good tips!
I putted that in my Watch Later when the S9 was the latest Samsung Phone, and I watched it now, but it is not interesting anymore, because the S10+ is here, and that's the REAL BEAST!
Most of this will make your phone slower. Cache makes apps load faster. Killing apps makes them have to open again. Also the phone is plenty fast to run well without needing this stuff even if that's how Android worked. I would simply recommend a reboot every so often.
Great tips. I’ve personally got the s8 plus and I’ve done all you said in the past. The one thing I have done is used live wallpapers. Some look amazing and I’ve used high ratings ones from the play store. And my phone wasn’t as quick, that’s a great point and they aren’t really worth using.
Great review by ya, NA, not only the s9..i ave an lg aristo 5, did the anamation setting fron 1x to 5, like you said in the video..my phone just added a turbocharger ..thanx so much..peace
Hi Nick, thanks for your helpful videos on galaxy s9, I have a question, when I put my phone on speaker when talking, the screen goes black, any help? Thanks
Doesn't this phone allow you to disable background usage of any app you want, meaning you don't have to worry about losing resources and can install whatever you want from the Play store?
Geekbench I’m sure is what your referring to those are just numbers and do not indicate real world use. Also people seem to forget the SD845 can handle games better.

Do you lose the manufacturer's warranty if you hit developer options and change things? I just want to make sure that i cn still return the phone if there is a fault. I am in the UK so not sure if things are any different in the US. Thanks for the vid :-)
Activating developer option doesn't voids warranty and changed nothing at all so long you don't accidentally play with those options that you aren't familiar with. It's not accessible for a reason in the first place. I would suggest u do set the 0.5x animation scale and just leave it as.

Thank you much!

Buying an S9 and putting the screen resolution on FHD+ is like buying a car with leather seats and putting plastic bags over them

Absolutely, I laugh when I hear that changing animation speed makes the phone more powerful lol
Yeah. Sooo clickbait

The first one with the animations helped me out a lot. I never though it would help, but now my phone is running so fast. Thank you!
You don't have to turn off one handed mode, just make it so that it activates from a gesture and not triple press.
These are good tips for back in 2013, current phones shouldn't have these problems
The video is pointless. The s9 is a already a beast out the box imo. My favorite phone so far.
To get developer on Apple you must pay a certain amount of money, while on Android you just have to click a tab a certain amount of times. O_O😂😂

"But muh camera"
You have to pay to get developer options?? Lol actually??
Austin Moon No. You dont have to pay for developer options. Just need to pay $100 to get your apps onto to appstore.

Get an Exynos s9
They are closer than ever that argument is becoming irrelevant. The SD845 is a beast!
Nick Ackerman
Sure it may be a beast
But the difference in performance between the 2 is way too big this year
The oneplus 5t is faster not much change with samsung
Geekbench I’m sure is what your referring to those are just numbers and do not indicate real world use. Also people seem to forget the SD845 can handle games better.

I have an idea
Why not make a video comparing the two variants

Activating developer option doesn't voids warranty and changed nothing at all so long you don't accidentally play with those options that you aren't familiar with.
It's not accessible for a reason in the first place.
