hey friend brandon here here are my
favorite accessories for the google
pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro and there are a
ton of them you're going to find at
least one cool thing here i promise you
and this is youtube so all the links are
in the description okay let's first talk
about gaming well the logical choice for
gaming on the google pixel 6 would be
google stadia but it isn't doing so hot
right now one of the best options for
playing high-end games on the google
pixel is with xbox game pass and its
tremendous library of games are
available for many other devices
including your phone the fact that i can
play hale infinite on this is pretty
wild but i still don't really know how
any of you use a controller for first
person shooters but you know you do you
a great accessory to give you that
nintendo switch or steamed experience
with the display from the google pixel 6
and pixel 6 pro is the gamesir x2 it's a
great option normally i would suggest a
razer key sheet but the camera bar in
the google pixel 6 gets in the way and
prevents it from working and this one
has a nice spring loaded design that
makes a lot of sense and i really enjoy
using it i really like its layout how
comfortable it is to hold the full gamut
of buttons the sturdy design and even
its ability to charge your phone now
let's talk about clocks and wearables
i've been checking out fitbits a lot
lately both for their health and sleep
tracking but also to get a glimpse of
what we could possibly get in a google
pixel watch i've gone in depth a bit on
the google pixel watch and you can watch
a video about it on the card up here the
fitbit charge 5 is an easy way to get a
feel for the fitbit ecosystem with its
slim design filled with tons of sensors
and it doesn't take up a ton of room on
your wrist which is nice if you want a
full on fitbit experience the fitbit
sense is a great health and fitness
tracker with tons of sensors on it to
capture your heart rate perform ecg
tests track your calories and heart rate
while working out your stress levels and
my favorite track your sleep it even has
a google assistant built into it so
that's pretty cool and it works both on
ios and android if you want the latest
and greatest feature pack smart watch
with the newest wear os the samsung
galaxy watch 4 is a great choice has a
great slim design a nice display mostly
smooth software performance and a bunch
of the athletic health and sleep
tracking that you'd find on the fitbit
but it's important to know that the
sensors may not be as robust as fitbit
and you don't get the fitbit community
and i would say that the sleep tracking
on the fitbit is way better but what you
do get that's different than a fitbit is
a great smart watch for features like
notifications the ability to take calls
and so much more unfortunately this did
not launch with a google assistant and
probably won't for a while instead we
get bixby if you want a robust design
for smartwatch the galaxy watch 4
classic is a good choice while the
normal 4 has a slim design and you can
navigate around the software by sliding
your finger along the edge of the watch
face the galaxy watch 4 classic has a
physical dial instead it's not only nice
to use but also provides a bit more
protection on the screen if you happen
to fall and scrape your watch against
something now let's talk about
connectivity here's an accessory for
your phone that you probably never
thought about or heard about this tiny
little sticker that is super affordable
what do you think it is this is an nfc
sticker these things are super cheap and
easy to put everywhere but here's where
they become amazing if you download the
nfc tools app and there's a pro one that
i paid for you can program the nfc
sticker to automate different processes
or actions when you tap on it you could
put on your nightstand so maybe it
automates and goes into the do not
disturb mode and launches your sleep
tracking app it's super fun and easy to
set up i've set this one up to toggle on
and off my flashlight so just like that
easy how cool is that you know what's
also inexpensive and super easy to do
subscribing to this channel in fact if
you do that right now you can do it for
free so all it takes is one little click
and while you're at it hit the bell icon
so you can be notified when i post
another video there's one accessory that
i think everyone should have and it's a
tracker while there are air tags and
samsung galaxy tags those only work on
their respective devices or ecosystems
with this tracker a tile pro works on
both android and ios and works with the
google assistant and amazon alexa this
has been so helpful for me in terms of
finding my lost items and the tile
network is fairly robust the only
downside is that this specific model
does not have ultra wideband support
which allows you to have some extremely
precise location tracking and that would
be really cool because it can give you
an augmented reality view of your
environment so you can find things
specifically but tao supposedly has one
that supports that coming out soon i
hope that sooner than later in a tile
you know if you want to send it my way
that would be really cool now let's talk
about power if you've purchased a new
smartphone lately you've probably
noticed that they don't include chargers
anymore which is kind of crazy
especially when you need a specific
charger and cable to utilize fast
charging like on the google pixel 6 pro
well this 30 watt spigen ark station pro
charger is a great option not only does
it charge compatible devices quickly but
it also uses gallium nitrate or gan
charging technology that gives it the
ability to be super powerful and a very
small form factor i can easily put this
in my pocket everyone needs a battery
backup and this one is unique because it
has something built into it that i just
haven't seen in any other battery bank
if you look closely this one has a tile
tracker built into it so you can use it
both to locate your phone but also so
you can locate your battery backup how
convenient is that it also has ports to
fast charge over usbc and usb a to take
advantage of its 9 000 milliamp capacity
along with a really nice grippy design
which i really like if you have a google
pixel you gotta have a google pixel
stand this is the newest model with a
bit of a redesign compared to the
previous one it has compatibility with
the previous generation of google pixel
buds for wireless charging and provides
fast charging for the google pixel 6 and
pixel 6 pro and there might be some room
there to fit a google pixel watch
whenever that comes out the best part is
that it activates google pixel specific
features that make it into something
like a smart home hub like device where
you can control your smart home devices
immediately see video feeds from your
nest cams use it for the google
assistant or have photos cycle through
it like a picture frame you know
ecosystems are kind of nice this type of
accessory became quite popular over the
past couple years and we use it all the
time in my house it's a uv cleaner that
has a wireless charger built into it
this samsung one has a really nice and
clean look to it and it's a really great
thing to have around just to plop your
phone in after a day of work while also
being able to charge your phone at the
same time here's an accessory that may
seem a little bit confusing but it's
also really cool and it uses the apple
magsafe ecosystem on an android phone so
here are nomads magsafe stands you just
put the magsafe charger into them and
then i can put my google pixel 6 pro on
it and it charges just fine in fact i
can use pretty much any mac save
accessory on my android phone from
chargers and stands like this to wallets
battery banks and more all because of
this case right here by moment that has
super strong m-force magnets built into
it that make it compatible with magsafe
what an incredible hack giving you
access to a huge ecosystem of
accessories speaking of the moment case
let's talk about creative accessories
moment cases are fantastic because of
enforced magnet built into it they give
you access to accessories in the magsafe
ecosystem including moment's own
accessories and mounts we'll talk about
that in a moment but this case also
gives you the ability to mount lenses
onto it which is really cool since the
main lens is the best looking lens on
every smartphone being able to add a
high quality lens on top of it to get a
different focal length without the
decrease in quality from using you know
one of the other built-in lenses is huge
i filmed an entire video on the google
pixel 6 pro and moment lenses which you
can check out in the card linked up here
if you have a moment case with the
m-force magnet built into it they have a
ton of different mounts that you can
mount on it magnetically which is so
cool there's one for the car they use
all the time one that adds a bunch of
mounting threads to your phone a couple
tripod mounts and so much more they hang
on pretty darn well and it's how i was
able to construct an insane rig like
this if you want to get higher quality
audio without having to be close to your
phone at all times the deity pocket
wireless is a great choice it's super
compact and easy to use this is great
for being able to set your phone down
somewhere and walk away from your phone
while maintaining good audio for
something like a vlog a tick tock or
whatever else if you want to go super
extra with the camera on your phone you
can get a b script which allows you to
put your phone in this beefy universal
cage you can mount a ton of different
things onto this cage like lighting mics
and more but the part that i love the
most about is that you can buy this
attachment on it that allows you to put
a canon ef mount compatible lens onto it
this on your phone how outrageous is
this
if your smartphone is super slippery
glossy and fingerprint prone like this
google pixel 6 pro you can add some
extra grip to it and cover up those
fingerprints all while adding some extra
protection to your phone from scratches
and customizing it to your taste by
adding a skin from channel sponsor
dbrand there are a ton of options to
choose from to get the look that you
want i really suggest getting at least a
matte black skin for the google pixel 6
camera bar it just makes it look way
better if you want a super solid case
that protects your phone super well will
also make it super grippy the dbrand
grip case is my go-to case i can
literally throw my phone across a room
and i'll survive it because of this case
on top of that i have their limited
edition full grain leather skins on it
that look insanely good on my sort of
sunny google pixel 6 pro the patina and
wear on the leather looks so good and
the gold accents from the camera bar
make this phone feel so high end to me
honestly if dbrand ever has a leather
drop again you've got to get on to it
right away otherwise you can choose from
a huge selection of other skins that
look great too make sure to check out
dbrand skins grip cases and many other
accessories for a ton of other
electronics by clicking the link in the
description editor brandon here i can't
believe i forgot one of the most
important accessories for the google
pixel 6 pro an actual screen protector
that doesn't suck this is the best glass
screen protector out there for the
google pixel 6 pro the white stone dome
glass is able to provide full coverage
even on the curves it looks insanely
clear feels even smoother than the
actual glass and can even fill in some
of the scratches on your screen because
it uses lack of glue technology that's
the same glue used for the assembly of
the display in your smartphone itself
now if you want some installation tips
and instructions here they are otherwise
you can skip to the next part
installation for the white stone dome
glass can be overwhelming but here are
some tips use a level to level your
surface which is extremely important and
use an iron to steam any dust from the
air especially if you have pets to
install make sure your phone is off put
on these black stickers over buttons and
holes insert the sponges on the side put
the phone in the tray from the other
side and put the tray on top of the
plastic packaging take off this top
plastic thing and insert the sticker
cover for the speaker and put the
plastic thing back on clean your phone
attach the arc to the tray unscrew the
color cap from the glue then unscrew the
black cap and let the locking glue come
out make sure it makes its way to the
middle of your screen put in the dark
color tab to the top piece of plastic
then lay your tempered glass screen
protector into the tray and then pull
out the tabs slowly so it drops down
onto the glue you may need to help the
glue make its way all around the edges
of the protector if you need to squeeze
out any air bubbles push them out from
the closest edge at the top or bottom it
won't come out from the sides easily
double check the glue is covering
everything and then cure the glue with
the uv light take it out of the tray
wipe it down and cure again and that's
it i suggest not putting it into a case
for at least a day and yes it should
work with most cases because there's
enough of a gap to support them
seriously white stone dome glass is my
go-to tempered glass screen protector
for all my smartphones as long as they
support it now let's talk about audio
the google pixel buds a are an obvious
choice for earbuds on the google pixel 6
pro i also have a leather case from
nomad on my pixel butts now the
pixelbuddy have an extremely comfortable
fit it has native google assistant
integration and it has a pretty decent
sound for the price it also has some
smart adapting features that can adjust
the volume based upon your surrounding
unfortunately this version doesn't have
wireless charging like the previous
version but this one does come at a much
nicer price point of around a hundred
dollars at around 130 dollars the
oneplus buds pro are surprisingly good
sounding with a fantastically
comfortable fit decent active noise
cancellation a category leading ip55
dust and water resistance and a design
that makes the apple airpods pro look
less refined and high-end i really like
these my favorite bluetooth earbuds for
casual listing are normally around 200
but are often on sale for around 150 and
they're the samsung galaxy buds pro they
have a great full sound with solid and
tight low end and shimmering highs add
in the wireless charging the decent
active noise cancellation and he got
some serious quality and sound for a
decent price i have a full experiential
review of the entire samsung galaxy buds
lineup where you can hear the
comparative differences between all of
them linked in the card up here you
should really check it out it's a really
cool experience if you haven't seen any
of my audio reviews
if you want the best of the best for
active noise cancellation and price
isn't as much of an issue for you the
sony wh-1000
are one of the best out there it's
insane how much sound they cancel out
and the app provides the ability to
adjust a lot of settings on there like
eq i love this because i find that the
sony sound tends to be a little bit dark
and i like to brighten it up a little
bit the drivers are high quality so it
handles eq adjustments really well so
when you combine custom eq with industry
leading anc these things are amazing but
let me know what your favorite accessory
was in the comments and any accessories
that you love that i haven't mentioned
