168 168 Never Quit

Hi everyone, The Pixel 4XL has been out for over six months and this is a phone I carry with me every single day now I know a lot of you know me for my iPhone videos and things like that but I actually carry the pixel 4 XL with me everywhere I go since it’s been released and so Google actually sent me this a little bit before it came out and I’ve been using it regularly ever since in fact it’s my normal alarm clock I like it a little bit better than what you get with iPhone.  For example I like the built-in alarm clock where it sort of just fades in the sound and then now you have the new bedtime options and things like that I don’t really care for bedtime and I just downgraded this back to Android 10 since it had the beta on it so I wanted the public release but it’s got these nice little features that I use all the time and also I used the soli radar with it as well so I know a lot of people thought that was a gimmick. But for example when the alarms going off if you just swipe y...

Hi everyone,  The other day Google had their event where they showed off the new pixel devices the 4 and the 4 XL and they were nice enough to send the 4 XL along so in this video were going to unbox the 4 XL well also set it up take a look at some of the specs and take a look at some of the new features and then if you want to jump to any specific point in this video. So you don’t have to watch the whole thing maybe you’re interested in specific things I'll link the time codes in the description as I normally do so let’s go ahead and unbox this so this is the box that Google actually sent over and it’s sort of integrated the pixel itself is integrated into the box so it’s kind of nice they were talking about more sustainability and I suppose this goes along with that and this is just some cards welcoming me to the pixel 4 and lets open this up and see what we’ve got. So it says making help magical and I think that’s everything in here now this is the box they sent it in and it say...

 Hi everyone, These are Microsoft’s brand-new surface ear buds and these were just released they come in at $1.99 and you can get them on a discount if you’re a parent a teacher military or a student for about 170 $9.99 if you’re eligible on their website and so these do not have active noise cancellation just like the pixel buds but also ear pods Pro is sort of their competitor along with ear pods so well take a closer look at that in a moment and as you can see here on the back it says they’re up to 24 hours battery life with the charging case so this is pretty typical these days so let’s go ahead and open this up and see what we’ve got inside so well take the wrapper off here and well set these up with the pixel for XL and I also have an iPhone to try it out with those as well so they should work with either/or so inside here is the case well set that aside. It says everyone’s ear is unique as their fingerprint and it says find your fit scan to get set up and I already installe...

Hi everyone, Yesterday Microsoft had a surface event where it showed a bunch of new products it updated some existing products and even showed us some future products as well and I was able to get my hands on some of them so let’s talk about the first two and then we’ll talk about what else they showed later on I was able to check out the surface pro 7 and the new surface laptop 3 they’re both very nice pieces of hardware and as you can see it looks basically the same as before but now has the 10th generation Intel CPUs inside of them they range from 749 to 2299 and have the dock connector just like you would expect to charge the device or use an external dock and then also the kickstand is there of course it’s the same as last year and probably. One of the favorite things that still there is the expandable memory using micro SD so all of this is really nice but they’ve added USB C so now we have one USB a port and one USB C port so this is really nice it’s something we’ve all been a...
