Thanks for this video

[@jereworldwells9630]

This great

[@jereworldwells9630]

Thanks for showing me that unlimited photo storage feature how do you uses that

[@LaneLarson]

Great video. I've watched several Pixel reviews lately and you've still managed to talk about several features I haven't seen yet!

[@awakenedcrowl]

As someone who has already mostly sold his privacy to Google anyway, this honestly sounds kinda awesome and makes me heavily consider a Pixel for my next phone!

[@slothymango]

Yeah that's the conclusion I came to a few years ago. I always have a Pixel now but also use Samsung as my powerhouse daily driver.

[@TarePandaHelp]

My thoughts exactly.

[@s1mo-RBC]

I've had an iphone since whichever was the first model to offer 3g. Recently made the nervous leap to the Pixel 7 pro and I am blown away. I was already heavily into Google (chrome and Gmail synced across all my devices) and the transition from an 11 pro max to this new Android has been seamless. It's just a better phone in nearly every way.

[@eg8049]

I also switched from iphone 13 to Pixel, and it just showed me how much i have been missing all these years haha

[@panzerofthelake506]

The best part: It's way cheaper. The Pixel 7 is almost the same phone but smaller and way cheaper.

[@2013TombRaider]

Hardware wise it’s not and that’s exactly why I am not switching. I love pixel software but google needs to step up their game in hardware. For example, the camera overall is better on iPhone, battery life better on iPhone, processor faster on iPhone, speakers better on iPhone, water resistance better on IPhone. Watch and AirPods apple is better. All the everyday basic things better on iPhone. Even for me iOS is boring now but basic features that I really care about iPhone does it better.

[@SSukram_]

​@@2013TombRaider the entire point of the software is to replace the hardware, that's one of the reasons it's a lot cheaper, though I understand the want to see the actual hardware improve, playing games or other stuff etc

[@dyllangames3592]

​@nik maknojia arguably in 99% of the camera tests I've seen people choose Samsung and pixel photos over iPhone, the battery life is amazing on the pixel unless you use your phone for 15 hours a day you shouldn't need more battery, the iPhone has worse hardware then Samsung (smaller battery, bigger cutout, etc) so just get a midrange Samsung phone. Especially with the Google messaging system being the same if not better than imessage. I used iPhone for about 4 years and just switched, don't regret it a bit.

[@lucky_lol]

Woah 22 minutes and still the video is interesting throughout

[@joshualebowitz]

Wow, this is such a comprehensive and helpful video. Thank you.

[@F35Nerd]

There's another feature within Personal Safety. When you trigger Emergency SOS, it gives you the option to record a video that goes directly to emergency services. Hopefully people won't need this but it's there if needed. To enable this: 1. Go to the Personal Safety App 2. Tap on the Settings icon in the top left corner 3. Tap Emergency SOS 4. Scroll down to Record Emergency Video. 5. Tap to enable it if it isn't on already.

what you think about that now ?

[@attar4128]

@@world1583 Didn’t use it as much as I expected. However, whenever I did, it worked well. Overall I would give it an 8/10 because often times when a person is speaking very fast or if the environment is noisy, it struggles to catch words

It is important to note that if the "Nearby playing" doesn't automatically recognize the song, manually pressing the button does send audio to googles servers

if google can figure out the build quality problems then i think that pixel phones will dominate the android market

[@hiep_exe]

Even then they won't. Most of android sales are mid-range or lower phones, which are dominated by Chinese brands. Meanwhile Samsung has had its place in the flagship market.

[@pixelking_871]

@Hiệp Trần Ngọc pixel will , never say never. Every phone has its day

[@creativelybankrupt007]

@@hiep_exe I meant to say Android flagship market. pixel phones take the best photos out of any other phones. KZbin videos don't do them justice. you have to see it in real life. i love taking photos with my phone so if the pixel can fix it's quality control issues i will buy it in a heartbeat.

[@nickyambao834]

If they will only release their phones worldwide. Here in the Philippines we have a group of pixel enthusiasts. They still use the pixel phones even though we don't have access to 5g, VoLTE and other peimary pixel features because pixel phone is not released here locally and we will only be able to gain access to those features if Google released the pixel phones here. Hoping it will happen in the near future.

[@nightking8490]

​@@hiep_exe you are right in this one. Android dominated overall share because low and medium range is only catered by Android and not iphones.

[@liamsz]

I’m always impressed by the video quality everything I come here ❤ Some features are available on other phones though. The vaccination card and battery widgets are available on iOS too. Research for this video must’ve been a pain to do since there’s so many phones with their own android skins out there.overall, amazing video though!

one more pixel exclusive i love is in the auto rotation tab, whenever auto rotate is off and i rotate the phone, i get the option to rotate the phone with a button on the bottom of the screen, this way i dont have to turn on auto rotate everytime i want to rotate something

I just switched today from my like 4 years old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact to the Pixel 7. I spend so much on a phone anymore, but I really LOVE it! It works so smooth. Also, I chose the 256 GB version which is 8 times of what my XZ1c had! It‘s such a blessing to finally be able to install all the apps which I had to delete from my former phone because my storage got filled so quickly.

[@janeleekeller]

T G So Happy to hear that 🙂. When I got my First Smartphone, (a Nexus 6P), I knew nothing about Technology and was in my late 60's. I asked my Daughter to help me get started. Unfortunately, the first thing I did, by myself, was set up the Fingerprint feature. Huge Mistake. My Daughter was furious because every time she started to show me something, the Phone would turn off , and it required my fingerprint. She told me She wouldn't help me until I removed it, which I did. However, I never asked her for help again. It's now 7 years later, I got a Pixel 6 Pro for Christmas last year. Anyway, the bottom line for me, every thing I've learned I learned myself, (and in no small part, You Tube). I'll be 76 Next week, and I'm learning Something New Every Day. Learning myself is best for me, and very satisfying. If I have been able to learn, So To can your Mother. But it's so nice to hear You're helping Her. (Patience is its own reward - Yours and Her's). Best of luck to you Both 😊, JaneLee - in Suburban Philadelphia 12/12/22

What made you settle for the new moto and not one of the new pixels? I am still on the fence because of battery life with no quick charge. But I am enticed by all these cool features.... Question is will I really use them or will I regret not just taking a phone with a better battery life.
