Awesome tips! Just want to point out that if you do anything on your phone like send a text message or put a new phone number in your phone or even call a phone while it's on "repair mode", that information and or data will not be saved in your phone no matter what. So be careful not to store new numbers and make calls thinking it will be saved for later while in "repair mode". Also what is the make and model of that keyboard in this video. Looking to buy one for my pixel tablet and P8P? Thank you in advance!

The pixel phones have always had great cameras, but No other phone has all of the neat googly features that the pixel phones have. I have used other phones in the last few years but have always returned to the pixels as I miss all of the features that I get with pixels when I use other phones. Samsung makes great phones, but I do not like Samsung's UI and the the bloatware they give you. The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses almost 54 GB of internal memory for the operating system. The Pixel 8 pro uses 14GB of memory. Forget about the iphone. I got tired of being restricted using IOS. Doing easy tasks with IOS as just moving files or sideloading when I need to sideload, is hard or impossible to do. The iphone is trying to catch up but it doesn't have all of the neat features that the pixel does. There really is only one choice for me.

It is the best thing to use if you have several people (including Children) in your family. I could never get all of them to look in the right direction when taking family shots. It was a nightmare as some of the children were quite small and liked to move around. I love this feature as now I can finally get a good photo. If you don't like it, don't use it. For me the "best shot" feature is wonderful.
