When you buy a Google Pixel 5, I'd imagine you will want to figure out how to get the most out of it right away. To help, we have a list of the First 10 Things to Do with the Pixel 5, some of which will probably work for the Pixel 4a 5G too. It's a bit like a Pixel 5 tips and tricks video with longer explanations for the settings we're tweaking, meaning it's focused more on your out-of-box experience.

@ryandelbalso7537منذ 3 سنواتThis is super helpful for those of us moving from IOS to Android. Thank you. Believe it or not, some of us do not even know how to do some of the basics id="hidden1" class="buttons"> you breezed through. I had to go back and watch how you did several things that you didn't explain. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get to my app list. Lol. ....وسعت33

@Tremblouzeمنذ 4 سنواتOmg thanks so much! Bored of all those reviews. Sure those cover important specs, but that's the real life stuff I wanted to know before switching from Galaxy to Pixel! 22
@
@mr_nevermindمنذ 3 سنواتThese videos actually make for better reviews since they give me a better idea of a new phone's features and if those features are something I would id="hidden3" class="buttons"> be willing to use. Most tech reviews just run down the specs, complain about the camera and call it a day. These deep dives help me make a more subjective, personal judgement. ....وسعت17

@TheKukiluciمنذ 4 سنواتWhen on the always on display, do you need one or two taps to get to the Lockscreen? It is two taps on the Pixel 3 but when I remember right, they changed it with the Pixel 4 and only one tap was needed. 10

Nothing to worry about but of course id="hidden6" class="buttons"> I have had better. If you are willing to buy this phone, go and get it. The Adaptive Sound option also improves speaker quality but not the call quality. However, call quality is pretty ok. I have used in quiet, noisy environments and found nothing wrong.

@skylermurphy9468منذ 4 سنواتWhen you make adaptive brightness more complicated than it really is. It is a light measuring sensor, wether independent or built-in to the front facing camera, and adjusts the brightness accordingly. 13

@deepcoolclearمنذ 4 سنواتVery good tips. In addition to confusing bubbles,if you want to customize and change the default notification tone for messaging or other apps you have id="hidden12" class="buttons"> to go back into that app section and change it for each individual app under notification.
