this is the best video I have found so far. I didn't know so many things you mentioned on this video and I watched LOTS of other pixel videos.

I got my Pixel 9 pro a few weeks ago and was looking for a cheap case on Amazon and I found the "Spigen Tough Armor Designed for Pixel 9 Case/Pixel 9 Pro Case (2024) [Kickstand] [Military-Grade Protection] - Black" for -58% $18.99. Damn I love this case for the price!

Also my phone updated to Android 15 two days later so some of the settings look different lol.

Reducing animations to 0.5x speed should be the #1 tip in these videos.

glad to find a guy making 20 top things to do w pixel with COMMON SENSE LIST..not got stuck on a color of ai wallpaper 5 min...Please do couple videos on 1- long time iphone user switching to pixel intermediate level guide -i.e. how to use pixel with macbook air like continueity on mac+iphone <i used 10 yrs ago pushbullet for copy paste whats alternatives today 2-more depth AI gemini fetures since GOOGLE thinks that they can sell for $20/mo next year what and how compares to chat GPT right, and how to use it on this phone 3-the reason i gave up iphone was new photo button pretty useless and they destroyed PHOTOS app --its F***N mess if you have like me over 2000 GB photos ..google photos was amazing but I see even in pixel a bit messy -although much better than apple photos' mess-but still more in depth search and organization tricks will be great..THANK you

How did you get the weather to appear under the time on your home screen?? I can't figure it out outside of adding a huge widget

[RyanShambrook]

Hi Dion, i bought the google pixel 9 PRO but for some reason the pixel studio does not come pre installed on the phones sold in Holland and this is sooo dissapointing and frustrating, the whole pixel launch demo was about AI. and i was doubting to buy the Samsung since pixel is new to me, but loved the AI items, .... no they are not on my phone.
