(calming music)
- [Narrator] Welcome.
So you wanna switch your old phone
over to the new Pixel.
Even though the steps are clear and simple,
it's natural just to come at a moment like this
with a little hesitation.
I know what you're thinking.
If this process is so fast and effortless,
why is this video so long?
Because while it takes very little skill
to transfer everything you'd like to keep
to your new Pixel,
calming the mind can take a little longer.
First, take a second to get comfortable.
Ideally, sitting in an upright position,
somewhere private or quiet.
By now, you would have inserted the SIM
from your old device into the new Pixel.
I like to turn my Pixel on using telekinesis.
But when you did it,
you probably held down the button on the right hand side.
If you haven't already done so,
pick up the cable that comes in the box with your Pixel,
roll it between your fingers for a moment.
If that feels strange, it is.
You can stop.
Simply connect the cable between both phones.
Follow a few simple prompts on your Pixel screen,
let the Pixel to care of everything from here on,
giving up our usual instinct for control,
as the Pixel carries your apps, selfies,
and messages on a gentle breeze of zeros and ones
from your old phone to your new one.
Don't try to understand what it's doing,
and don't worry if you have thousands of latte pics
or a six hour documentary on rain.
It will all come over a lot faster than you think.
Close your eyes if it helps,
taking a long, deep breath in through the nose
and out through the mouth.
A few more times.
If there are any nearby sounds, that's okay.
Just acknowledge them.
Say, hello there.
Hello, jackhammer.
Must be the road works.
Jeez, is it Monday already?
What am I doing with my life?
And let the mind drift on.
Your mind might be wondering,
is it getting everything?
Is it frozen?
Should I hit the Back button?
Shh, mind, relax.
The Pixel is doing what it was designed to do,
bringing your stuff over.
You can't mess this up,
as long as you trust the process,
and trust in yourself.
I know I said don't open your eyes,
but you really need to see this eagle.
Wow!
And closing your eyes once more,
Congratulations!
You can open your eyes again now,
at your own pace.
How do you feel?
A little more at peace, I hope?
Certainly more prepared
with the new Pixel that somehow feels familiar
and comfortable,
like a phone you know, and are used to.
Hello, old friend,
enjoy your time creating new memories together.
Be well.
