Pixel 4 XL Complete Walkthrough

So I’m sort of posting these backward, but whatever. Google sent me a Pixel 4 XL to review and so I already did my real-world test video to check out the camera and battery on it (and you can view that here).

How to Share Your Location the Right Way (& With Anyone on Any Phone)

Sometimes it’s just so much easier to share your location with someone than trying to tell them to meet you or how close you are, etc. Thing is it’s not that apparent as to the best way to share your location. iPhones have their own way that doesn’t work with Android phones, you should use one that lets you easily revoke or even have the location access expire, and you want one that’s easy to get navigation directions from, etc. So, the way I would recommend to share your location is the way built into Google Maps itself that I

How to Make a DIY Smart Home Security System (No Monthly Fees!)

We no longer live in a time wherein order to have a security system at home, you have to call the likes of ADT, Brinks, or some other giant security conglomerate to come and install expensive cameras, alarms, etc. and then charge you a ridiculous monthly fee to “monitor” your home for you. Instead, there are a ton of smart home devices that can easily be used to create a smart home security system that will not only do the same thing for less money and no monthly fee, but also have a ton of other benefits that you can

Google Home at Work

If You Have a Google Home Device at Work, This Setting Should Really Be Turned Off

Every time I walk into my WeWork office, a notification pops up on my phone. It’s from the Google Home app and it tells me that a device on my Wi-Fi is casting Spotify. Funny thing is, I don’t have a Google Home device at my office. Essentially, the office I work in has a ton of different companies all under the same roof (it’s called WeWork, I love it, you can check it out here if you’re curious) and, as it turns out, some of those companies have Google Home speaker devices in their offices playing music. Now, since

In a surprising move, Google has released a cheaper version of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL–okay so it was leaked everywhere and not a surprise at all, but still, it is an interesting move.

Feel free to check that out here. In this video, however, let’s do a more detailed dive about everything the Pixel 3a is and do a complete walkthrough. First, check

Create Your Own Google Drive, Photos, Docs

How to Create Your Own Private “Google Drive/Photos/Docs”

So I personally love using Google apps like Google Drive, Google Photos, and Google Docs/Sheet/etc. They are super easy to use and have a ton of features I like, like auto-sorting in the photos, for example, that works really well, etc. But, what if you like these features but you don’t want to use Google for these things for whatever reason. Well, I stumbled upon a pretty interesting replacement that you can use to get similar functionality but have all the data secured in your own home or office on a local drive. Well, turns out I was using my

Mate 20 Stock

How to Make the Mate 20 Pro Look like Stock Android

You guys asked for it so here’s my updated video on how to make the Mate 20 Pro look like stock Android (and the Mate 20 for that matter). Now, first up, stock Android isn’t really a thing anymore like it used to be. What we are referring to now when we say “stock” is the look and feel from the latest Pixel device. Personally, I love that look (a lot better than EMUI) and so not a big deal, but just wanted to clarify that when I’m saying stock, I’m referring to the look the Pixels now have. So

Camera Test: Galaxy Note9 vs iPhone X vs Pixel 2 XL vs OnePlus 6

Samsung recently released the new Galaxy Note9 and, as is the usual here on the channel, I figured I’d do one of my camera comparisons with it. In this video, we’ll compare the Galaxy Note9 against the iPhone X, the Pixel 2 XL, and the OnePlus 6 to see which has the best camera.

Everything Important From Google I/O 2018 in an Easy-to-Read Bulleted List

Besides the, admittedly weird, but also super interesting machine learning produced music, and the revelation that beer foam cannot defy physics, there was a bunch of things announced at Google I/O that I think are worth mentioning to people even if they aren’t developers. From new Google Maps features to Android P UI changes, here are the most important things I found from watching the Google I/O 2018 Keynote (so you don’t have to). GBoard and Gmail Gboard now supports morse code to people with disabilities. Smart Compose is a new autocomplete for phrases instead of just words that will
