I've been using pixel phones since the pixel 2 and after all these years there are certain features that stood out to me these features are the main reason why my daily driver is still a pixel some of these features are not exclusive to pixel devices While others are but either way let me share with you the top 10 mobile features Google ever made so let's jump in at the top of my list is H to search I remember seeing Google add for this feature and it was like a dream come true we all wished Shazam could do this back in the day and yes we all tried singing T Shazam hoping it will identify the song but sadly it never worked in contrast with h to sech you can sing whistle Oram whatever comes to your mind and it always works after trying this feature I got too excited and immediately published a video to show you how it works that was four years ago when the channel was a lot smaller it was somewhere around the 40K subscribers but it got me 369k views which is a big number for such a small channel 3 months later I published another one for iOS that got me 753k views which is almost the double that reflects how people were too excited about H to search and how it did help me grow that channel back then number two is now playing this feature is exclusive to pixel phone since the pixel 3 and whoever thought about this feature should be one of the smartest Google employees ever till now there is nothing like it on any OS I use it almost daily wherever I go when a song plays nearby I stare at my phone and immediately see its name not only this but it saves the history so every now and then I check the list and pick few tracks that go straight to my likes playlist on YouTube music imagine if my daily driver is an iPhone or a Samsung I would have missed hundreds of songs feature number three is as to photography which is another pixel exclusive since 2019 the first video I published about this feature got me almost 900k views even before reaching my first 1K subscribers which is crazy I personally used this feature a lot I take a tripod on every trip I make just to take some stunning Astro photos yes it takes a long time to capture a single photo but it's certainly worth it I never thought of capturing photos like this on a mobile phone 5 years ago which was a big hit back then number four is Google Assistant version 2 released back in 2019 this is the first iteration of Google Assistant that supports backto back commands and it was legendary till now Google's the smartest AI assistant Gemini cannot do the same so take a look at this snippet from my original video set the alarm at 8:00 a.m.
Remind me to call my friend tomorrow morning okay I'll remind you tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. add milk bread and cheese to my shopping list what's on my shopping list take a note what's the note this is a test what are my notes turn off all the lights turn on Wi-Fi increase increase the brightness by 5% increase volume by 5% show me London photos the ones with buses share on WhatsApp reply it was an amazing trip I gave it more than 10 backtack commands and it did all of them without a single mistake in contrast Gemini cannot even show me the photos in my gallery number five is Google lenss I cannot say you how many times this feature did help me in my daily life I use it to translate street signs and the food menus when I travel convert images into text and add it to my notes for later use get more information about certain products and more Circle to search made it even more useful by immediately triggering Google Lens over any screen to do all the actions you need number six is Android 12 material U theming and this new styling technique was the first of its kind every time you sit an a new wallpaper your whole phone adapts to it your home screen app icons the Quick Settings the keyboard the apps and more even Apple copied this feature with iOS 18 but it doesn't look as good nor as integrated as Android's material you talking about wallpapers let me remind you about the wallpapers by in-depth thick reviews app if you like any of the wallpapers I use in my videos that's where you can find them I release 12 new wallpapers every week it provides you with mult multiple styling options like the blur brightness and Hue to make your wallpaper stand out with the ability to edit your home and lock screen wallpapers separately syn your favorites across all your devices and more the Google Play Store download link is in the description and now let's move on to the next feature number seven is assistant voice typing and this is the smartest voice typing I have ever seen by the way I use it every day to reply to your comments which saves me a lot of time it's not only accurate but it punk tws you can delete undo or replace any text by just using your voice which is something no other keyboard offers even though this feature is 3 years old number eight is Magic editor a lot of people don't like the fact that AI changes the real photo into something else while it can do that but you don't have to use it that way for me it adds a peace of mind for example if something is blocking the view or someone entered the frame out of the blue I can erase both of them without a problem or maybe place the subject the right way in case the photographer didn't give much attention so you can choose the level of a change that makes you comfortable and these touches fix the photos rather than transforming them based on my previous comparisons with apples and Samsung versions magic editor is the best as it handles the most complicated scenarios much better number nine is best take if you usually take group photos you will certainly appreciate having this feature same as magic editor it gives you that peace of mind as you don't need to make everyone look at the camera and have the perfect smile exactly at the same time because you can simply fix it in post and make everyone look their best number 10 and the last one on my list is add me even though it's useful and works well but the reason why it's the last one on my list is because the use case is kind of rare I didn't come across enough scenarios to make it a game changer for me but when the right moment comes it makes a difference beside this list I want to give an honorable mention to three small pixel exclusive features that in my opinion are very underrated number one is quick phrases just say answer when the call comes in and your phone automatically picks up and puts it on a speaker perfect for when your hands are full no hand wiping scamle required you can also use it to decline calls or to snooze and stop alarms just as easily which is something I use daily to stop my work alarm continue sleeping and rolling to work 30 minutes late so how amazing is that I sleep 30 minutes more every day the second one is the ability to copy text or images from the recent apps screen which is something we have for ages and you will never find it anywhere else this is amazing because if I came across a photo or text that I want to share I no longer need to take a screenshot and fill my phone's storage with stuff that I will never use again all I need to do is to select share and forget about it the last one is live translate while I didn't use it that much but the ability to watch any conversation in any app magically transformed into your own language is mind-blowing with the ability to reply in your own language makes it even more convenient so these are the top mobile features Google ever created in my opinion and I'm curious to know about yours in the comments below but for now thanks much for watching and see you in the next video
