hello everyone thank you once again for tuning into our save green here
Channel and today we're gonna do a quick review in a few minutes of the pixel to
excel approximately one year after release and one thing you got to ask
yourself if this phone is for you is what is the reason that you're looking
into purchasing this phone most folks are looking into the pixel line for
photography they are having cutting-edge photography built into these phones and
just like you can see here in some of these pictures you can use the nitesite
which you can see right here at the top to take these pictures and these are
just pictures out I took just messing around with the camera but you can see
that there are some beautiful colors displayed on there as well here's
another one of a tree we are in the fall season right now so you can appreciate
that as well blue sky with the contrast of the yellows of the trees and really
nice pictures as well this is another one we took of a close-up of a rose with
the with the bee on there and what I'll do is after the video I'll just post
these pictures on the screen you can appreciate them than if it were being
recorded on the phone with the lighting there it's not going to come out as well
but you can see that the phone does take beautiful color contrast pictures as
well so if you're looking into this phone because photography that's a
wonderful thing it is I do highly recommend it as a great phone for
photographs also since it is a pixel phone the pixel apps work hand-in-hand
with the phone better than it would on another phone so you have apps that are
made by Google such as Google Maps and some others for browsing also it's
extremely fast no problems with it also and you can use
other apps as well of course and if you're browsing and as you can see I
have plenty of apps open at the same time and no issues whatsoever but you
can see even though the weather is built into it as well
on your home screen and I'm actually on airplane mode just so I wouldn't get any
calls while I was filming this video but if you're looking into a great phone for
photography and you are one of the generational people that used to carry a
camera around and then once the camera phones starting getting better you're
just looking for the best camera out there then this is the phone for you and
some other key features of the phone that I like is you have speakers on both
sides so there's a speaker up here and there's another speaker here so when
you're watching a video or moving on the phone you get the sound coming right to
you it does not have a headphone jack and I know this is a bummer for some
folks but in my case I actually like that it makes means the phone is better
built for waterproofing and I've been using Bluetooth headsets for a while so
that's that's the way it as far as the the fingerprint sensor back here you
just press it and once you press it it opens up the phone just like you saw
there so it is a a nice feature to have on the back it's where your finger kind
of naturally sits on the phone when you pull it out of your pocket for example
so you can unlock it that way now some of the new phones coming out today have
the fingerprint sensor up here in the front and that might not be a very
natural way to unlock the phone although it could work for some the only case I
would see that being advantageous is if you're if you put your phone at a in
like let's say in a holder on your windshield while you're driving it's
easier to unlock it that way then I'd have to put it all the way in the back
while it's on a holster so that might be an advantageous way reason why you
should have it in the front so all in all I've been very happy with the phone
and if you are looking into a pixel 2 or pixel to excel the differences in the
phones is the size of the screen whereas this the the XL has a bigger screen but
the pixel 2 in the pixel 2 XL have pretty much the same features so the XL
is actually built a little bit better nicer around the screen as far as the
edge-to-edge so you can look into that as well if it's something you're looking
into but I thought I'd make this quick video and one thing that I would
recommend if you're looking into a phone and I've done a few videos already of it
look into a military grade drop tested case and you can see down
there where my finger is pointing that it's dropped certified you want to make
sure that that stamp is on your on your case and if not ask ask the manufacturer
but this is by far you your second best investment after your phone of course is
protecting the phone and the case will do Marvel's for you as far as keeping it
protected keeping the glass from breaking corners from chipping and stuff
like that you can see that the phone is in pristine condition just because if
you do keep it in a case like this one you will protect the phone and then of
course increase the resale value when it's time to sell it so I thought I'd
make the video one year later because many reviews are done immediately when
the device comes out but that's not enough of a time frame to know if the
phone is actually good or bad but you do have a better idea once the phone has
been out in the market for a while as far as reviews go so I thought I'd do
this for you folks if you have any questions or any comments please post
them below I will also post below a link to the case so you can look into a
better case for your phone if you have had cheaper cases and I believe I might
have one lying around here somewhere let's see so these kind of cases like
this they don't really protect your phone much especially when it comes to
the screen because the screen is exposed and then you have the tempered glass
screen protectors they're not really good you always want to have something
that in the front of the phone actually protrudes like this so when you put the
phone down like that it's not being damaged it cannot be
damaged these cases where it's just a bumper case this is what these are
called bumper cases they're not really that good as far as protecting the phone
then if you got a military drop tested case and again look for that stamp or
ask and for the money this is the best case
I've seen out there as far as money can buy I can try to bend this and it's
really hard because it does have like a backbone here with some padding to
protect the back of the phone as well and in today's day and age more and more
phones are coming out where the backside of the phone is glass and that's to
enable the wireless charging technology and this case is certified for wireless
charging on the wireless charging type phones obviously the one you just saw
here is not a a phone that is built for wireless charging but the ones that are
coming out these cases are already tested and they will work for that as
well so thank you once again for watching any questions or comments
please post them below
