- Our Pixel 6 Pro review (and Pixel 6) will be up soon, but because your phones are arriving shortly, we wanted to give you the First 10 Things To Do video that you deserve. In this Pixel 6 tips and tricks video, we dive into the basics of setup, some security options, wallpaper themes, all of the camera modes, how to use universal search, and where all of the best display options are.
If you picked up a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, this is the video to get you started. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
UPDATE ON ASSISTANT TIP: There is still the corner swipe, it's just very buried in Settings>System>Gestures>System navigation>>>then you tap the settings or gear icon next to Gesture Navigation and you'll find a toggle for it. Apologies for missing this.
Are you using a launcher to be able to align 5 icons on the homescreen? I only get 4 and didn't find a setting to change it
@@busherinolol1693 it's definitely there, tap and hold the home screen > wallpaper & styles and then scroll down where you'll find app grid at the very bottom of the page. Hope this helps
@@pedrodias9505 yea figured it out thanks anyway
The corner swipe was quite useful.
I still prefer the squeeze from the pixel 4 but ya cant have everything I guess.
It will show eventually in the UI to try it.
I miss the fingerprint reader on the back, it was perfect
Wouldn’t you need to try the new version before you can be sure if you miss it?
Better is in screen. I used both methods.
I agree, fingerprint on the back was better. I've used a few Samsung Phones with in display sensors.
The added utility of swiping up and down on the back of the sensor to pull the notification shade was awesome
Since there is no face unlock. You need the fingerprint in the front especially when you need to unlock when it's any kind of phone holder. Like when you are driving
I loved the one on my OnePlus 7 pro. Got P6Pro yesterday. Definitely shower and accuracy less
Never press P for a search on a video 😃

Or X.
@@exiledfrommyself wtf is D
Press 1 for relaxing in this video.

A tip to make fingerprint reader on any phone works most of the time and faster.
*Add 2 or 3 registration for the same finger that you use
Ya there's literally no reason not to log as many as possible
This.
Did my thumb twice at different angles. Still terrible. All this phone does is make me appreciate the 5 more.
@@mjnz instead of putting it right on the sensor, try to do it more naturally as if you were just unlocking the phone and not necessarily setting up.
I had to do this same thing. Works out for me
@@RKCorinth thanks I'll give it a try, But I think overall I'll send it back. I'm not getting used to the size either, I much prefer the 5's dimensions.
Have been an iPhone user since I parted ways with my Pixel 3. This helped me sort a few frustrations and saved me heaps of time digging through menus. Loving being back on Android again. Thank you!!!
The Samsung Galaxy s22+ is a Much better phone 📱
I completely forgot about twist for selfie! I used to use that all the time and at some point just forgot. Thanks for the refresher and new tips!
I have a 3xl and this is going to be a nice upgrade. I'm ready!
I have a 3XL as well, I've loved it! My pro is on order I'm excited
i have a 3xl in black as well. i am getting the white pro 256gb what about you guys?
@@aitskimoro9035 same and same man 😂 my 3xl is black and I got the white pro in 258 gig as well. Should be a killer phone
I loved my 3XL so much. Unfortunately last year it crapped out so I "upgraded" to the 5. Definitely looking at the 6 pro now. I miss my big phone!
I am still using my 2XL. So I am really excited to finally upgrade!
I'm coming off a S10+ and very much looking forward to the simplicity of a Pixel and the death of Bixby.
DEATH TO BIXBY!!!!!!
Hows it been? I have the s10+ and thought about getting the p6p...I spend ALOT of time on youtube and have been worried about the bad battery and slow charging claims
Why all the hate for Bixby, when it is totally optional....??? Google speak and assistant work on S10...
Really helpful, thanks. Just fine-tuned my Pixel 6 Pro settings while I watched the video.
One of the main features I miss from my iphone was the spotlight/keyboard search. I'm so glad they added it in Android 12. Glad to be back on pixel since stepping over to the Iphone 11 pro max.
I’m on a 12 pro max. I’m worried about the curved glass. What kind of screen protector are you using?
@@christianbearden28 I'm not using one. Just the Google case.
@@christianbearden28 did you try hydrogel?
@@paula2711 no. I’ll have to look it up.
Wish we would have covered the new notifications up top that actively let you know when an app is accessing your camera or mic. That's a super useful privacy oriented feature I can see being handy.
If I understand your request right, that exists in android 12 now!
@@Lennskie But it wasn't covered in the video.
@@jamesg8246 I know, but just letting you know!
Is it automatic or do you need to turn it on somehow?
@@johnnymissfire8464 It's automatic. When any app is accessing your mic or camera a little dot shows up in the upper right corner to let you know.
I think the biggest thing I'll miss is the fingerprint reader on the back. I have the Pixel 3 so I'm starting to look for my next phone and one thing I love is the speed of the fingerprint reader on the back.
just moved from pixel 3 to p6 pro and i do not at all miss the rear fp sensor. thought i would, but the one on the 6p is fast and easy and works great despite all the negative coverage
Follow this tip, make multiple fingerprints for the same thumb or finger that you would use. The sensor recognises it better. But yeah I miss the finger print at the back too.
This has caused so many problems finding a proper screen protector. I eventually just wound up determining that the Pixel 6 Pro effectively doesn't have a fingerprint reader as isn't worth the effort or cost.
I have been using a Galaxy S9 for a couple years and love the rear fingerprint reader, as opposed to the one that was located on the home button on my Galaxy S7. I just ordered a Pixel 6 Pro and am hoping I won't find the fingerprint reader to be as bad as some people think it is. I don't use my Bixby button for anything other than telling it to "turn on/off flashlight", but I do that nightly so I hope that it will be simple enough to do on the Pixel 6 Pro without that button.
Not a fan of non-expandable storage, but the 256GB model should be fine. Overall, I'm certainly looking forward to getting my new phone, but I will remain cautiously optimistic.
@@ClassicalPan Honestly, it's not _horrible_ but does take quite some time to start getting used to. When compared to the perfectly convenient positioning and rapid response of the previous models, it's very much lacking. It takes 2-3 times as long or more to register a read, and it isn't as accurate. Though that might have something to do with my screen protector, I'll be danged if I'm gonna get one with a big, honkin' hole in the middle.
I've been a lifelong denier of swanky gizmos like fingerprint readers. The Pixel 3 changed my mind, and I found myself wanting to map different programs to most of my digits. With the Pixel 6 Pro, I only use one finger and only for getting through my lock screen and into my password manager.
I'm not quite as dissatisfied I was a month ago, but I still fully plan on switching to a Pixel 5 when this is paid off. This is also due to size. Between the inferior fingerprint reader and being just large enough to force me to constantly shift hand positions, it's not a great fit personally. I'm quite fond of the Pixel 3's dimensions but always thought it could be a little larger, so the Pixel 5 seems perfect for me in every regard... once I install a different OS of course.
I've had a pixel phone for four years and I didn't know about double tapping the power to get to the camera real quick. Well I feel like an idiot now 😂😂😂
The speech recognition thing on these phones is incredible. I feel like I've typed maybe 200 words in the few weeks. I've had this phone. It's honestly a game changer.
I have try this. Does this work only with english?
why did you say. i have had this phone. you dont have anymore? didnt you like it.
This is exactly how I feel. I've been dictating every message, every email, every comment, etc. It is so fast and so accurate that typing out texts seems primitive now.
@@benjisamuel2399 he was dictating and the dictation software inputted the incorrect punctuation
What game?
Thank you for helping me with the press and hold function. I don't use Google Assistant at all and just wanted my old power button to work correctly. That tip alone is worth the other nine. Thank you
power+volume up also brings up the power menu
Exactly, when you activate the Power Button Assistant gesture it mentions that now the Power+ Vol Up is the Power menu shortcut. This works on all Android 12 devices.
Normally this sets the phone to vibrate
I really wish they would let you switch back to the old way when they decide to change the way features work.
You can also switch it back to the power option
You can also get to it by sliding down the notification bar twice to get to your toggle panel and will be in their as well
| love these videos because they give a better idea what it's like to use the phone versus a review. l don't trust reviews anymore so I rely ou there to see if these are features I'll actually use and what can this phone do that my direct one can't and vice versa. Please don't stop making these kind of videos
glad you found it useful! these are some of our favorites to make, even if they are too long for most people.
The finger print unlock on the back was perfect, it was so quick because when I grab my phone in my pocket I can unlock it before the phone is even out, faster than any face unlock.
Always find these first ten things videos super helpful. Thanks Kellen!
So far I'm impressed with my 6 Pro. It's super fast & once you get used to the differences from the earlier Android versions it's a pretty great phone. I'm also pretty stoked by Fi. I live in a fairly rural/suburban area with pretty good cellular service but the 5G system of Fi works fairly well. Those in a larger cellular coverage are like an urban area will be impressed. It's every bit as good as Verizon which has been my carrier for decades.
Ive had Fi now for about 4-5 years and I find it crazy how more people arent using it. Great service and very reasonably priced
is the battery good?
I see no compelling reason to switch from a mainstream carrier.
apple is better. the iphone 13 has a way better fingerprint reader on the screen.
Im upping from a Pixel 3. Would you say that the camera is decently better? Im really going to miss my active edge, but maybe the double tap will redeem things for me. 😩
Just sold my iPhone 12 and bought a Pixel 6. Pixel is in its own class. I'm astonished! This phone is great! I will not miss my iPhone! 🤷🏾♂️
Same here m8,just got my pixel 6 and love it ,coming from a iphone user since iphone 4s
Ordered my 512gb pro, excited to get it! Thanks for sharing all this useful information. This is my first pixel phone, upgrading from an S8+, so should be a nice upgrade.
I also have S8+ and planning to move to Pixel 6. Do you like your new phone over S8+
@@RahulRathi_Multimedia still waiting on it, supposed to be by Nov 22nd..ordered the 512gb pro in in stormy black. Looking forward to getting it. Already have a dbrand grip case and a screen protector waiting.
@@RahulRathi_Multimedia I just upgraded to the pixel 6 pro from the s8+ as well! It's really good, I love it so far, the fingerprint sensor does not work with some screen protectors and it won't recognize my finger at all no matter what right now. Seems like I'd have to sacrifice the safety of my screen for a faster unlock with fingerprint sensor
@@MacmillanCampbell thanks for sharing! Finger print recognition and safety are both important for me... will have to think now
@@puddleduckist What's the need for the high storage?
Just got my pixel 6 after weeks of agonizing research as my pixel 3 began dying. Going through and getting everything set up now but so far, I'm loving it.
I appreciate this video so much. I am upgrading from a galaxy s8 and I needed this crash course. Thanks again!
14:30 You can also quickly bring up the power menu by press/hold of power + volume up.
I'm gonna miss the 4XL's squeezable sides and face unlock. Other than that, I'm excited for the 6 pro.
Squeezable sides are great, I used to have it on my old HTC U11 Plus and my brother has it on his PIxel 4. On HTC it is better and you can map it to anything, while on the Pixel phones you can only squeeze for Google Assistant (unless you root the phone).
Those were great but though it's less fun, holding the power button honestly works just as well now that I've tried it for a couple days
Same here, think the squeeze is brilliant. Less faff.
The hardware was horrible. The battery problem.
@@surferman911 Must've gotten unlucky then, haven't had a single issue with mine over the two years I've had it; I'm on a plan with two others who have the same phone, it's the same story there
This was great. Thanks for posting. Just what I was looking for for when the 6 arrives tomorrow.
Thank you for this posting. You did an excellent job. It is giving me a good idea of what to expect when I get my phone that is on order.
Long time Android fan and poster around the 'Net, and I have to say, I'm glad I got excited about the P6 and jumped on the bandwagon. I'm loving my Raven thus far, and a lot of your tips were not only spot on, but actually worth considering when first setting up the device, Kellen. Good job on the vid. I've only had it about 24 hours thus far, and battery life is not conducive to my lifestyle (too many accounts, even without SoMed apps installed), bu other than that, I'm rocking it and it feels good.
Try turning off 5g
@@mommy3505 Nah. After cleanly flashing SD1A.210817.036, Nov 2021 onto my phone, battery life has stabilized perfectly fine. It's not stellar, by any means, but it does get me through an entire day with my setup.
Okay so I got the pixel 6 pro today and, it's pretty great..I had 3 other pixels and sold them all! This one tho...I think this one is what I've been waiting for. Runs multiple apps VERY WELL also... And the fingerprint scanner... It's actually very good.
This was the best review of this phone I've seen. Thanks
I keep seeing how reviews say that the finger print sensor is bad, but mine is great. I upgraded from S10+ and the difference is huge.
Love the finger print sensor
good to know! I have the s10+ also and the finger print reader has never really been great. So good to know it will at least be an upgrade for me.
I heard the same thing but the finger print is very good
Yea the first gen ultrasonic sensors were not fantastic. My note10 is probably good about 70% accurate
My S10 was awful when it came to the finger sensor 😒
The finger is very good when it works and when it does it really sucks even with multiple fingers for same finger
Thanks man. I always appreciate these First 10 things videos. Especially when I'm buying a new device I basically always know you'll have one of these if it's a major flagship. I pre ordered the Pro in white and am super excited to get it (hopefully Thursday).
I preordered a white for myself and yellow for my wife through Verizon, I got confirmation earlier they were shipped and my delivery date is tomorrow. Keep an eye on your email and enjoy!
Thank you from uk 🇬🇧 got my 6 Pro! 👌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Got to say that is the best review I have seen regarding the camera, I did everything with you as you showed it, thank you so much, brilliant! 👌🏻😊
United British Emirates ?
@@Doman9191 United Kingdom 🙂
Thanks I’ll have to watch this a few times!!
Getting mine tomorrow, upgrading from a 2xl
Same here! Our time has finally come after years of disappointing pixels.
Sameee bruh so hyped
Got mine already and it's nice, heavier than my 2xl with a case. Just waiting on case and screen protector before I take it out if the house.
Got the Cloudy White myself very hyped after getting mediocre pixels over the years.
Also upgrading from 2xl!
I don’t like how when the google assistant pops up, it’s a card like thing. I liked it when it was transparent and the colors would just go to the bottom of the screen with the words.
Very helpful video .. thanks for making it.
This is very helpful. Can't wait for mine to arrive
Idk if you can on the pixel 6 but the S10+ I had allowed you to register the same finger more than once which helped a LOT with accuracy problems, might be worth a try by any annoyed with the in screen print reader :)
I loved the RGB notification LED phones used to have, nowadays it's a dead feature :/
Sony devices still have that feature ;) 😉
These tips came in handy appreciate it 🔥
Very helpfull video. Thanks!
I wish that they had gone back to the rear finger print sensor. Those were great and very fast. Doesn't face unlock require additional hardware to really be as secure as it is on the Pixel 4?
Just not fingerprint sensor on back please
@@Doman9191 I like the back sensor. It was in a very natural place to rest your finger on the early pixels and worked well and quickly.
Yes but it didn't just look good
Yes but it didn't just look good
@@seethingnuclearchaos This! I want the back sensor back. I have a galaxy note 10 rn and I don't plan on upgrading yet (it doesn't even have a year yet), but man, I miss that back sensor, it was so accurate and comfortable. I could unlock my phone while getting it out of my pocket. I miss my Nexus 5X, every phone I owned after that one didn't feel as magic. I hope it comes back to Pixel.
I'd wait at least a year before buying one. Not only will they go down in price but Google can work the bugs out too
Someone without a big fat ego.....there's more to life than grabbing the latest mobile surveillance device. 👍
Great video, thanks!
Loved the video! Thank you for it!!
Great overview
2:50 "It's ahh..." actually really good. I primarily used the through glass finger print reader on the last three samsung galaxy phones and this is super fast.
One trick to do is add additional finger prints, but do them from the same finger. I find that increases the chances of the phone seeing the print quickly. I've done that for iPhone, Samsung and others.
Just got mine today. Loving it so far. I do wish Google kept the physical fingerprint scanner or if take it off from the back add it on with the power button. But so far other than that I am loving this device
Kellen Awesome Video.Thanks so much Deb ✌️
Great channel. Always feels so comfortable with your mood. Strange to mention I know ...lol
Watching this on my Pixel 6 Pro 😁
First #1 thing to do:. Download the latest software update.
Great video, thank you
Very informative video thank you! Just curious if I could put screen brightness on top 🤔 not to swipe down twice? And squeeze control for assistant?
Just waiting to grab this! I've been holding onto my old phone just waiting for Xfinity Mobile to carry a Pixel. They never got the 5 but now I see both 6's will be offered right away.
One thing I've noticed they got rid of that was really useful was pulling down notification menu and taping on the clock would pull up alarm/clock settings. That's gone with 12.
I think that's a bug and maybe its unnoticed. Report it to google they prob. would add it in after an update.
Agree, but there's separate quick toggle called "alarm" available (or something like that) that will open clock app
My Pixel 6 256g, will replace me Lumia 950 today. So many of these new Features we have add on Window Phones for 7 years. Good to see I am not loosing much.
Amazing video, very helpful!
Pro Tip: Disable 5G. Day two with the Pro got me 9.5 hours according to Accubattery
...if you don't need fast internet access 😅
@@stefan_becker in the closest 100k pop. city LTE is faster than 5G 🤷♂️
I found the fingerprint reader on the Pixel 6 Pro to be much faster than the fingerprint reader on my Galaxy 20+. Has anyone done any 5G bandwidth latency comparisons with the Pixel 6 Pro?
Great video thank you 👍
Where did you get the geometric/vector shaped wallpaper? I did not see that in the Pixel 6 wallpaper options.
13:20, to turn on the swipe from edge to launch assistant feature go to settings -> system -> gestures -> system navigation -> gesture navigation settings icon -> swipe to invoke assistant 🙂
Is active edge gone for activating the assistant? I'm still using a Pixel 4 XL until my Pixel 6 Pro arrives.
Yes, it is gone
Bro that's been gone since last year 🤣
Yes it's gone. Honestly one of the best features about a Pixel phone
Very helpful . Thanks
Great. But I have a question. What did you do to have a lot quick setting?
Thanks for this video. One thing I'm going to actually miss from the Pixel 3 is squeezy sides. I really got used to that feature.
I LOVED that feature
Same here. I use that all the dang time on my Pixel 4 XL!
I use that every morning on my 2xl to snooze my alarms lol
Absolutely. Much more useful than this annoying fingerprint sensor
I did notice if you enable developer options you can force the 120 Hz all the time. I couldn't really tell a difference because it does such a good job of switching between 60 and 120 but just thought it would be good to share it with people who might want to enable that ✌️
It actually switches from 10 - 120 which is even better if you can't notice it
@@lukeredpath9 it actually shows you the refresh rate if you turn it on in developer options and according to it it only goes from 60 to 120. I know they said it goes from 10 to 120 but when your phone screen is on according to it it only goes from 60 to 120 and if you turn on the force 120 it stays at 120. I don't know if maybe it goes to 10 when the screen is off or something. But I can't get it to do anything but 60 or 120 according to the refresh rate counter that it shows on the screen that you can turn on in developer options.
@@jhcccc it goes below 60 but the developer thing can't show below 60
@@jhcccc yes it will only go as low as 60 in use. But will drop to 10 when not in use which makes me wonder if it really matters?
@@Pkilla80 it doesn't it saves so little battery life. Having dark mode alone saves more battery.
Solid video. Thanks! How did you get the weather/52 degrees displayed on your screen?
add the weather widget to your homescreen
love this phone.... do u know how to change the text tone by chance ? the sound when i get text messages.
I noticed that throughout this video his battery percentage went down by 5%. I have done the maths so every 5 minutes and 48 seconds, there is a one percent decrease.
yep , in heavish use it is about average with other phones , nothing out of the ordinary.
Why was the launch of the pixel 6 pro so devastatingly bad?! I ordered an hour into the live reveal and I still don't have it yet. And now FedEx is playing games. 🥵
Just got the pixel 5a loving it
Got my pixel 6 pro today, so damn good
With that finger action, you look like a person who has never set up a new fingerprint.
Why not let me use quick tap to turn on my flashlight? Would be a great gesture!
Xiaomi phones have a double click on the power button to turn on flashlight. No need to unlock the phone or wake the screen.
@@pijesz samsung phones too
Can you still press and hold the zoom numbers to bring up the zoom slider when using the camera app? Good option for those that don't like to pinch and zoom. Not too many people seem to know this feature.
Coming here before mine arrives home in a couple days. Had to finally upgrade from my pixel 2.
They should have went with a flat display and left the fingerprint reader. If anything just move it to the power button.
fingerprint sensors placed at the power button are so awful, my gf has a phone where it is placed there and it is so awful. I think the best thing would be an indisplay sensor but no optical like in the pixel 6 but a ultra sonic sensor.
@@aigapol123 I like it more
Really not liking that in screen reader. Wish Google just stuck with rear reader
As someone coming from a Pixel with none...it will be welcome for me.
It absolutely refuses to read my left thumb. I'm hating it so far...SMH
@@dually81 there's always an update pushed upon official release. Hopefully your issue will be fixed in a few days.
My last phone was a OnePlus 7t. That also had an in screen fingerprint reader. That one was way better. The one on the pixel 6 is really slow and sometimes just doesn't work. That's about the only annoying thing I've found so far on this phone.
@@GalaxyNexus1 Wow!!! The update just pushed through for me and now the fingerprint scanner is flawless
Does it still have that annoying slight zoom for the background you set?
Is there a way to add app shortcuts to the bottoms corners on the lockscreen?
Got mine saturday. Still getting used to such a large device again. May have to switch to the regular 6.
Telephoto camera worth it? Screen worth it? It's barely a little taller. All other dimensions are nearly the same
@@rodneyjsilva I'm not sure at the moment. Get a regular 6 in a couple days for the wife. I'll use it for a day and decide. I'll try to report back.
@@rodneyjsilva the telephoto camera and screen are great though, for sure. Should've mentioned that. Just need to see if it's worth the size difference.
Реклама со скрытым смыслом,ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ!!
How'd you get yours before release day?
Coming from Oneplus, I love the camera(which is why I got it) but I miss the OnePlus UI, it is by far the best.
Same here! But since OP is changing/merging with Oppo's I think those days are over.
And it's a chunky/boxy phone. Have to get used to it.
Great video. How to get your always on display to look vertical like that?
FYI you can still turn on the corner Assistant gesture. It's off by default. Personally I don't mind holding down the power button because honestly who fully turns off their phone nowadays? If you really need to you can just do the power+volume thing and it works fine, and there's also an option in the notification shade.
10 things. nearly 30 minutes of video. 🤔
Wish this had timestamps
I have the Pixel 6 pro. You can activate the Google Assistant from the corners. The settings are system navigation under gestures navigation.
New subscriber, great review.
Its absolutely mind blowing there is no face unlock...what were they thinking? Even cheap mid rangers have that feature
you mean an extremely un secure method of security?
I agree I wanted to try a pixel 6 pro coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 but the lack of face unlock is utterly unacceptable.
Oneplus fans will now move to pixel devices, oxygen os is gone
Already have going for pixel 6, OnePlus phones are really good to be honest
Hi do you know how to find the Magi eraser in the photo editing settings, I can not find
You can add a home button and a back button in the home screen settings
Those notifications are brutal. Who's the genius that thought big ugly notifications was the way to go?
they arent notification, they are the quick settings buttons. The notifications usually show below that but he didnt have any
That sucks about the fingerprint reader. Really sucks.
What sucks? Seams to work decent.
I do wish it was on back. Just used to that
Спасибо,что пояснили.
@@rodneyjsilva Хочу задать вопрос о вашем канале,о чём вещаете?!
@@rodneyjsilva It's so slow. You can just tell in this real word example.
Fabulous and helpful video. Wondering... From G7 to this new pixel 6...in text mode how do I enable speech to text? There is an error when mic is pressed. Asking assistant in order to quick reply is time consuming.
Great presentation. Thank you Sir.
very useful thank you!!!!
