I pre-ordered the Google Pixel 6a with the Series A earbuds that I narrowly chose over the Nothing Phone (1), and I use the Fossil Gen 5e smartwatch and the Fossil Hybrid Retro Pilot with a strong preference for the latter. You mentioned missing Apple’s MagSafe on non-Apple phones, this will be coming to Android by the end of 2023 with Qi2. I have been using Android since 2015 having switched from the awful iPhone 5C and the brilliant iPhone 3GS before that (it still works in 2023), and I have used some of the worst phones from the likes of LG and HMD Global using the Nokia name. Over that time frame, reliability has been lacking with Android seeing inconsistent software updates and quick abandonment by the OEM. Pixel has been the first experience for me where this hasn’t been an issue and some other reviewers and tech commentators refer to it as the “iPhone of Android”. Pixel is like a fine wine, and as it gets older, it just seems to get better and better.

I recently upgraded from my old iPhone 11 to the Pixel 7 Pro after some time of looking at the iPhone 14 Pro. Ultimatly I switched because the Pixel 7 Pro was cheaper! Cheaper per month and more data for that cheaper cost even when compared with my then current iPhone 11 deal. I also found the 14 Pro uninspiring, it was more of the same with a few tweeks and in a slightly shinier package. 7 pro on the other hand gave me everything I needed and more and so far it's showing itself to be a belting phone which should have Apple and Samsung looking over their shoulders.

With the copy and pase from your laptop to phone there is an app on windows called phone link. I use the app daily on my windows laptop and my Samsung phone. I am not sure if it available for Google devices but I don't see why it wouldn't. The setup was easy and it allows me to have all my phone calls and text messages on my laptop. It is all done through Bluetooth, so when connected I can make phone calls and send texts without using my phone. You can also mirror your phone screen to your laptop, along with all your notifications coming through to your laptop as well. Its a really handy app. It even shows your recent photos and videos took with your phone.

The iPhone has Back Tap also plus Triple Tap you can set to whatever you want. In SETTINGS, GENERAL, ACCESSIBILITY, TOUCH, scroll to bottom you’ll see Back Tap.

You can use KDE connect or something with same functions for every OS. I use KDE connect with my win 11 as well as GNU/Linux OS. Works great and have not only copy paste, but whole clipboard history. That is awesome. Can search through shared folder from both devices or through whole phone from PC. Much more useful.

I definitely think the Huawei Watch GT 3 is wrongfully over looked all the time, the thing is a beast, I have been using it for about 8 months now, no issues, battery easily lasts about a week and that is with 2-3 hours of physical activity tracking 5 times a week. And for around £150 it is so much for your money. The only downside for it is that not too many apps have the automatic integration, like you can not link it to your google fit app etc, but otherwise I really would recommend you checking it out, and letting us know how it compares to the Apple watch.

Just say, "Hey Google, start a parking timer for 13 minutes." It'll stay on your lock screen and on the info bar at the top, as well as the home screen.

There is already a 3rd party dynamic island for Android That's even adaptable to what kind of notch or camera bump you have but it needs refinement from my experience sense it's so early.

me too...just recently switched to pixel 7 pro...i can say there is a lot more conveniences than iphone...i love using the back swipe too...

You don't need to use portrait mode with Pixel 6 on. The sensor is big enough to do the work "naturally" rather than using a setting to artificially impose bokeh. I never use it anymore after upgrading from pixel 4xl to pixel 6pro and I am getting much better results. Try turning it off. Also, I use my pixel watch normally. Passive fitness tracking, google assistant, media control, some complicaitons and a handfull of panels or whatever they are called that you can swipe left or right from the homescreen...I get loads of notifications over night and I could possibly go at least a day and a half on a charge. It depends on how busy I was that day but I have never once run out of battery and usually go to bed with around at least 30 - 40 percent. Everyone's use case and experience is different I guess. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it! Hope you stay with the pixel! You can help us get the word out and make it better!

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max (8 months for now), and just getting to know the Apple ecosystem of how simple it is to just back up your entire phone and restore it in a single button press, that really sold it for me, but honestly, that's only really impacted me when I was working for a big cellphone service company/store, customers would come in, and I would do these backups and restores on a daily basis and seeing how easy it was it really did WOW'd me, coming from a lifelong android usage timeline, I was amazed, but honestly I haven't found myself doing a backup and restore for me at all... that has killed the mood a bit, I also bought the phone because of performance (Gaming, video editing, etc., etc.) and that's where it really it stands out, you get a lot of power also, and the cameras are just outstanding, I also liked it in the beginning for the weight and the feel of it, I like big displays, but was more of how sturdy it felt... and now that's been fading away a little bit, I have actually found it to be a bit intrusive size wise and quite heavy now... sometimes when I'm laying down on bed and have my phone looking downwards gravity doesn't help that much... So I want to make the switch for the Pixel 7 Pro, will potentially get the 8 Pro, but I'm a bit impatient and can't really wait for a couple of months, as I want the change to happen now.

The iPhone has back tap as well! It is under accessibility settings!

very cool and optimistic objective video!

I use MacBook and pixel 6, you can copy any text in Chrome and send it (or anything else) to you phone, or any other device were you logged in with Google account. If it's a phone number the option is Call from Google phone.

Too many malware apps on the Google play store and after adding my credit card KZread charged $350 from my card to view ads free... which i didn't even accept but according to Google i did accept the trial popup some few weeks ago and by accepting that i accepted to subscribe to their service...

Switched from iPhone awhile back to S22 Ultra and just switched back to iPhone. I gotta say I’m thinking of returning the iPhone and going back to my S22.

I just tried out to see if I could get a very small timer that sits on my screen like mentioned about the iPhone. My Galaxy S23 can have the same timer. it's a little pill shape but unlike with the iPhone, I can move it to anywhere on the screen. Yet, I still like it best on the iPhone because it's a little smaller than on my S23 Ultra.

I still have my 5 year old LG V30 phone. Love the quad-DAC headphone jack.

I have always been android, and my partner always iPhone. I will say iPhones are probably better for the day to day but there is no way I can justify the price. I get 80-90% the experience for about 40-50% the cost...

On your pixel watch, if you turn off the tilt to wake and turn on the always on display you will get much better battery life. I regularly finish the day with at least 50% battery left using the always on display and touch to wake. The tilt to wake is what is killing your battery.

That's why I'm here. Just traded someone my apple watch and unlocked iphone 12 for a Pixel 7 Pro. One of the main reasons why I'm switching is I can't afford Iphones anymore. I refused to do one of these ridiculous payment plans. For an Iphone 14 pro, you're gonna pay between $700 and $900 for one second hand. The pixel 7 pro is running around $300-$400 second hand. It's been almost 10 years since I've had an android device and I'm honestly blown away by it. Android has come a long way since my HTC One. Having said that, there are some things that apple does better. It took three attempts to pair my pixel watch with the 7 pro, not to mention other little glitches that just aren't there with apple products. Apple just isn't as exciting and cutting edge as it once was. AR Glasses? what a joke.

Pixel 7 does have it, same as the Pixel 4 - but can't use it for other things like payments and unlocking apps etc!

@@PeteMatheson the pixel 4 had a proper face unlock like iPhone and was just as secure as Apple. There was no fingerprint scanner on the pixel 4 and I was able to use it for my banking and purchases. Pixel 7 just uses the camera to unlock which isn't as secure vs the Pixel 4 using the Soli Radar chip(IR).

Back tap is available on iPhone as well.

Amazfit t Rex. Hasn't been charged in 14 days still at 44 percent.

Copy/Paste is incredibly integrated and seamless, at least on windows with the your phone app.

The LG V20 had that small second screen across the top. I always thought that was better than notches, pinholes or whatever that thing is Apple uses. Unfortunately it didn't even catch on with LG. I swear every one of their engineers had ADD.

Ive heard the Samsung watch has limited functionality (health) if used with another Andriod brand?

I heard you say something about back tap on Pixel phone, did you know iPhone also has that feature for quite a while now?
