Reason why i use dark mode
10% for saving my battery
20% it looks cool
70% my eye is a bit sensitive to a light
cool animation and 15% concentrated power of will
Only one of them, the other eye does just fine with light lol
99.99% looks cool
Idk tho dont feel like comfortable seeing myself at dark mode im kinda scared to see some shit that isn't in my house
blue light filters
Finally someone does a video

At that time apple fans told me that fast Charing is detrimental to battery's health , it's not last long and blah blah .

Dark mode not only save power but also gives comfort to the eyes or prevents eye strain.

Dark mode best mode
@@TL62120 Just giving a note
Dark mode is more annoying to my eyes than white mode, it's harder to focus on text and reading
Creepet Really it just boils down to your personal preference. If you like lighter colors more, you might like light mode. And opposite for dark mode.
In conclusion :
*dark mode does help with battery life*
You’re welcome
Thanks for this comment. Can't believe it took so long to scroll to get the answer.

Discord conditioned to me be a big dark mode fan, it made me realize how much of an eye strain darker and mellow colors such as black and grey are, not only does it look a lot more gentle on the eye but good for night browsing and saving battery as well, what a big plus.
I just do dark mode for night

Dark Mode = Longer battery life = Hours of PHUB
You're right 🤔🤔
Not true, because PornHub has "dark mode" enabled constantly. So theoretically if you jerk off in dark mode with a fully charged battery, you shouldn't notice any difference in wanking time compared to light mode, unless you decide to take a break from playing with your noodle and do something else for a few minutes.
Who else just has dark mode for everything because it looks better?

I absolutely love dark mode. I'm visually impaired and with my eye condition it's way easier for me to see things in dark mode. For me, the more apps I can use in dark mode the less eye strain I have, which translates to less migraines. So yeah, I'm so happy that dark mode is becoming more common.

Dark mode saves for only mobiles that have oled or amoled so don't expect it would save battery for lcd screens
Lmao, this is similar to “I didn’t know we were making memories, we were just having fun”
Research has shown that dark mode actually causes MORE eye strain than staring at a screen in light mode. Search it up
Yup I don't like dark mode
Who else have dark mode cause you use electronics at night in bed so you parents won’t see the white light lol
People with LCD display: **uses dark mode on everything**
Dark Mode: am I a joke to you?
🤣🤣🤣
I don't wanna ruin my eye by looking at phone in light mode
It's less eye straining for me despite no battery benefit
Gee well, not everyone wants dark theme for better battery 🔋 backup, we (XR/11 users) want less eye strains while using at night.
Reza Luthfan True.
This video can’t get enough hype.
AMOLED Black everything.

Unknown Soldier boi i got e-ink
Been enjoying that since 2014 on my note 4 back then lol
I prefer dark grey because it's less harsh in contrast, and it still saves battery life.
Samsung displays FTW
Light mode for me in the day cause I like how simple the UI looks with light mode
Dark mode at night cause I like to watch videos in the dark, and the OLED contrast ratio is really stunning
Light mode is for reading and dark mode is for watching.
I'll never understand how anyone can be satisfied with light mode especially during times where it's dark
Well, I like bright colors, so I always go for the light mode. Especially when it comes to reading, black background white text, I just can't read that.
Me right here, it’s weird but dark mode makes me feel dizzy
It damages our eyes.
But iPhone used OLED screen so it's okay.
Don't trust someone who doesn't use dark mode.
They're lizards pretending to be human.

We need you guys to do a Low power mode vs normal mode!!! Please! You’re the only reputable battery/speed test!
Dark mode has always been the best. Not only does it help battery life but it just looks so darn beautiful 😍
Dark mode:
-looks cooler (for me)
-saves your eyes
-takes less battery
-is supported on many apps
Also:
-use pretty dark background to get longer battery life
-if you want to use your phone in dark (iPhone) then use the accessibility shortcut called “zoom”, and make it fullscreen zoom, then choose for the filter low lights
And boom phone in dark rooms
Only saves your eyes in a dark environment, hurts your eyes in a bright environment.
Timo Kränzle but still...
@@DerpyNub I prefer a scheduled Dark Mode
Matteo Venturini agreed. It looks rubbish!
It's been proven on tests complete black dark mode makes hardly any difference to normal dark mode dark greyish
Dark mode in theory: Saves battery
Dark mode in reality: Looks cool
PS. When your phone's a few years old and the battery's a little worse, but you realize you've been using dark mode, it means your battery's in A LOT worse condition
Gabby Valenciano Mind to explain?
@@lauramusers522 it mean you don't feel how bad in shape your battery's already been because all this time you've been using dark mode, and dark mode does help prolong battery charge.
Lauzyz well dark mode doesnt really do anything on LCD screens
@@luds8474 that is true, because of the backlight, I'm talking more on the sense of Amoled displays, since mine does

Yes thank you for the info. I already used dark mode because my eyes is always feel better with it, than the light mode. It will also helping my phone battery life
yeah, dark mode also reduces pain to my eyes when looking at the screen for too long
On day time it hurts your eyes
Youn Drip I keep dark mode on whether I’m out in the sun or inside and I’m fine
It destroys my eyes though. Dark mode doesn't work on people with astigmatism.

Thanks for actually putting out a test that matters to consumers per se.
Ive been wondering how much of a real difference it would be but never thought that someone would actually make a video about it. Kudos.
I use light mode when I want to appreciate the screen size and lack of bezels since it fills the whole screen
Dark mode for less eye strain and cool look
It only works when u have a oled screen not lcd
That settles it, I’m staying on dark mode forever. Less eye strain and better battery life. I don’t really get why you think instagram clout is worth a 1K$ phone
Luigi Player 14 ive been on the dark side since iso 13 launched
Luigi Player 14 It actually causes more eye strain in the day. If you want the least eye strain then you’d use dark mode in dark environments and light mode in lighter environments.
@@fujinyumi5632 only if you're using dark mode outside in bright sunny conditions. In my house, i use dark mode all the time, no eye strain
Alex Szwarczynski So basically, you just restated my point. When it’s bright-light mode. When it’s dark-dark mode. Inside your house is dark.
To content creators Instagram clout is worth way more than any phone.
I always stay in my room with the lights off, so I use dark mode. But if I'm somewhere bright, or outside, then I use light mode because it feels better

Work on any screen?
I’m not sure if it’s just me... but I find myself really eyes-tired when using dark mode sustainedly. Indeed, I used to like it, but after using it during months, I really prefer the light appearance. On the other hand, I find that the real feature that helps me to handle looking at the screen for long periods, is True Tone. True Tone has been incredibly useful and not many people is talking about it. Whenever I disable it, I notice how much stress I’ve been avoiding thanks to it.
I would use dark mode even if it lowered battery life because it looks so much better
Light mode is like seeing a flash bang constantly. You're insane if you use that over dark mode.
Still want Note 10 SD vs Exy. Also want to see OnePlus 7T and Pixel 4, speed, drop and battery test.
