- [Jonathan] Yo guys, Jonathan here
and today I've teamed up with Huawei
so if you own a Mate 10 Pro,
I'm gonna showcase five of my favorite tips and tricks,
and if you don't own one, I'm gonna give one away.
Details on how to win are down below
and it's not required, but drop in a like,
is much appreciated.
So the first trick is super simple,
but it looks cools and it helps battery life.
The Mate 10 Pro has a massive 4,000 milli amp hour battery,
which is crazy to begin with.
You have a couple different power-saving modes,
but a small simple tweak, if you dive into the menu,
is to toggle on the darkened interface colors button,
bam, that's gonna enable dark mode,
which looks a lot better in my opinion,
and this is gonna help extend your battery life
so it's kind of a double win situation.
So the next trick with the Mate 10 Pro
is probably one of the coolest things about this phone.
That's the fact with a single USB to HDMI cable,
you can plug this into a monitor
and it will turn into a computer.
Now what's particularly awesome about this is
there's no dock or hub or anything aside from the cable
that you need to buy to make this work.
It will work with both a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse,
but chances are you're not gonna have
one of those in your bag.
So what's cool is if you want to go just minimal,
just a phone, the cable, and plug that into an HDMI source,
you can use the Mate 10 Pro as both the mouse and keyboard
using the touchscreen, which is really cool!
So in the instance where you travel at a hotel,
maybe you want a bigger screen to watch video,
to check your email, or in this case,
edit a photo that you took off a phone,
you can do that on a larger screen.
Unplug, and the edited photo is right there
on your phone where you left off.
So this is a really cost-effective way
to turn your phone into a computer.
And again, the only thing you need
is that USB to HDMI cable,
which I will drop a link to down below.
So next to number three,
the Mate 10 Pro has an amazing camera,
but I would definitely recommend
to pick up some sort of tripod or mounting system
to get the absolute most out of this camera.
You have Pro mode, which is awesome,
but kind of a little hidden gem on the Mate 10 Pro
is their light painting section.
If you actually tap that,
there are four really awesome modes.
You have Tail Light Trails,
which is perfect for capturing light movement with cars.
You then, of course, have Light Graffiti,
which essentially allows you to paint with a light source.
It's super fun,
but what's awesome is it takes the guesswork out.
So if you don't want to mess with Pro mode
or mess with settings, this does the work for you
and it actually works really well.
So those are pretty much easy to use long-exposure tricks.
Another really cool one is their Silky Water,
which will take a flowing water source
and then give it this kind of brushed airy look.
So here's with it off, and then here's with it on.
And again, to get the most out of this,
you want to definitely use a tripod.
Now the last mode Star Track.
You're gonna want to use this
in basically pitch-black settings.
For most situations like here,
it's going to be way too much light
to really take advantage of this,
so if you're in a situation like me,
I would suggest going to Pro mode,
drop the ISO down to 50, and then from there,
mess with your shutter speed time,
anywhere from five seconds up to 15 seconds
should get you results like this.
So next to number four, with the Mate 10 Pro
and it's private space feature,
you can actually log in to two separate user accounts
using just your fingerprints.
To enable this, head over to settings,
and then security and privacy, scroll down,
enter private space, you're gonna want to select enable.
From there it's gonna ask you to
create a pin and then confirm that.
Once that's done, you go and enter your fingerprint
that you're gonna use solely for this profile.
So that's pretty much it.
You now have access to two separate profiles.
So you can see, when I'm using different fingerprints,
it will actually log in to two separate user accounts.
This is really cool if you want to use one profile for work,
one for personal, or maybe you have a kid that you want
to hand your phone to and not worry about them
getting into anything they shouldn't.
Unlock it with one hand,
get your phone back
and then you're easily back into your main account.
So the last trick is to help you get a little bit more
out of that fingerprint reader on the back
and you might not have known this existed,
but if you head over to settings,
head over to security and privacy,
tap the fingerprint ID icon,
and then all the way to the bottom there are slide gestures.
So go ahead and turn on show notification panel
and turn on browse photos
and from there you can now swipe down
to access notifications with your fingerprint reader,
which is actually really convenient.
Conversely, if you're in photos and you're browsing,
you can swipe left or right to kind of swipe through
your photos which is also really handy.
And because this is such a big phone,
instead of having to swipe all the way
towards the top of the phone,
having that really conveniently located,
where your finger is naturally resting,
is a really handy feature.
So hopefully, you guys enjoyed these tips and tricks.
Again, make sure you guys check out the Mate 10 Pro,
which I will drop a link to down below.
Thank you guys very much for watching.
This is Johnathan and I will catch you guys later.
