Just upgraded from a Pixel 2 to a Pixel 6, lots of new features in this phone and your tips were very helpful in using more of the phone.

[@TheYAMAMAHA]

I still have a pixel 1. Looking at the 6

[@hwi7114]

@@TheYAMAMAHA The Pixel 6 is a much better phone than the Pixel 2, I imagine the same can be said for the Pixel 1, but I can't say for sure because I went from a Nexus 5 to the Pixel 2. It is an upgrade from the 2 in every conceivable way except for the fingerprint reader in my opinion.

[@CBCNamja]

@@TheYAMAMAHA lol... I just upgraded my Nexus 5 to Pixel 6a. My 9 year old Nexus is still running fine, and battery life is still good. I never had a phone that works for this long. Back in the days, the battery start dying after 2 years.

[@shawnhodgkin7156]

Just got my new Pixel 6 and it's a huge upgrade from the Galaxy A21 I had before so there was a lot to try to figure out. Video was super helpful! Thanks!

[@lolwut31]

smart lock is an absolute game changer - have a well deserved like my friend

[@mikiandlena]

Just got this phone 2 days ago and was struggling to adjust from my previous one (Galaxy). Very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@nikitalitov]

What galaxy did you have

[@amoghdeshpande443]

Dude, you just made my fingerprint scanner better, thanks a million.

[@suemarie6032]

Same here. I have a screen protector and found it easier changing the setting.

[@gboy888]

When smart lock is enabled, you can just tap the unlocked icon instead of swiping up to unlock the phone. ✌️🤙

[@TechnicallyAlex]

pro tip :D

[@gerirossideguevara3334]

Just got my new Pixel 6. Your videos are the best. Clear, concise, easy to follow and understand. I've watched your other videos, love them. I love my new Pixel 6 even though its bigger than my S8. But ATT is going to shut down both of our phones to new system, even though my S8 is a perfectly good phone, GRRRR.

[@TechnicallyAlex]

Glad you like the vids, thanks!

[@notjoeyg666]

i just upgraded from my s8 i really loved that phone

[@menacer26]

This was a helpful video, subscribed. My Pixel 6 will arrive on Thursday and I'm stoked. I look forward to more of you content. Cheers.

[@shanejoyce2808]

Great video. You can also get the power options up by holding the power button with the volume up button together. A bit quicker than scrolling for it. Hope that helps.

[@simon5005]

Just ordered mine. Time to retire my Pixel 4A which I've been very happy with. GREAT TIPS!!!

[@willharrison]

Good video, thanks! You can also power off the phone by holding the power button and volume up button at the same time....

[@JstormZx]

Absolutely. But like he said, a lot of people are already used to the long press power button. Lol it's gonna take a while for peeps to get used to this new style Oh and it's not hold, it's just a single tap of both volume up and power buttons. Arguably that's both easier but requires 2 fingers instead of one

[@bettyboop1524]

I'm looking at getting a new phone (my LG G6 is 6 yrs old) and don't want to go with Apple or Samsung - this looks like a better option for me. I like the do not disturb feature at night for only certain people to let through. I get so annoyed when ads come through at 3 or 4 in the morning and wake me up. The security features are also something I want. For me, I think this Pixel 6 might be the way to go. I'm definitely going to keep your videos around. Thank you

[@margaretkosmal675]

Super helpful!! Easy to understand!!! Thanks!

[@Zafor-ium]

This phone would've been perfect (software aside) if it had an ultrasonic sensor

[@loquacious1956]

Great video. I'd love to know how you got the day and date inside your clock on the home screen please?

[@eggsnbacon20]

Hi Alex, thank you so much for the tips but you know when you're on your lock screen at the bottom there are two small icons. I have the Google pixel 6A. How do you get those small little two icons at the bottom left and right just like yours?

[@weixing8306]

The wallpaper is so beautiful,where is it download?

[@cwbuckley4508]

Do you have a video on how to transfer your contacts from one phone to another?

[@lilHell343]

Nice Video, I knew all the things but the Fingerprint tipp sounds very promising :) Btw what app do you use for the Battery ring around the camera? Looks great

[@svcodemonkey]

I have 3 fingerprint scans of my thumb and the scanner still sucks. I love this phone by I will be trading it up for the next Pixel that has a better scanner. I just hope the next one is better.

[@Iquey]

Omg this quick help start guide is a headache saver!

[@1903JPG]

It's nice to see someone using the P6.

[@James_Knott]

I've been using mine for over a month. I got it on Oct. 30.

[@PranayDevidan]

Can someone suggest how to remove the default time and weather display on homescreen. Like in the video it is Fri.. Nov. 12 9°C I tried but couldn't find any option. Pixel 6 with a Android 13

[@rgoodson]

This video has some REALLY great suggestion!! Thanks a bunch!

[@kiranbibi-oi3sw]

Thanks you because its the first time using a Google pixel

[@slukas1375]

Well done. Can't wait to get this phone.

[@yin-yangdragon]

if you hold the power button and volume up you can see the power menu and if you hold the power button and volume down you take a screenshot and if you hold the volume button in the middle you can turn off and on talk back

[@ilyylouie]

what is that homescreen wallpaper youre using? it looks really nice and i want to use it myself :)

[@Jono2905]

Excellent tips on set up - thank you. Getting used to the phone (from MotoG) and so far so good.

I've had the phone for a few days now and thought I found all the settings. You showed me a few I missed. Thanks for this. I followed along with you and set up a reminder. It did show up on the lock screen but the reminder never happened. When I went back to check, it said "overdue". What went wrong? Also, at 12:10 when you say you're setting one up, what did you touch? I had to say Ok Google because I didn't know of another way.

[@chiragtejashwi]

Dude, what wallpaper are you using at 2:38, I am just loving it. Please provide the source

[@roguephoenix]

i would also recommend scanning your finger, at least once, while it's dry because that's when it has a hard time scanning it.

[@Raul-ri3gq]

Hello, it would be good to comment on the security issue, that if it is blocked, anyone can lower the notification bar and turn off the phone since it does not allow you to block the notification bar.

Hi Alex. I see you're also on Rogers. I've noticed one issue that perhaps you can check to see if you also experience. On my Pixel 2, when I connect to the phone hotspot, connected devices get an IPv6 address. On my Pixel 6, this does not work, though the phone itself gets an IPv6 address. Can you see if the same happens with your phone? I have tried with the same SIM in both phones I have the plain Pixel 6, not Pro.. tnx jk
