Hey Google Verizon Wireless

The bezels are a bit large for this year, and the battery arrived at 0% (suggesting it spent a long time in a warehouse), but this is a great phone for the (sale) price. Took a long time to update to the latest and only learned after the fact that I could have flashed it with the latest Android bypassing the intermediary steps. It pays for itself in months in free Google Photo storage if you are an avid image creator. The only issue I've noticed is that sounds played through the browser sound far worse than in my other Android phones. This is likely a firmware/software issue that Google isn't even aware of and as such, given their inability to take in bug reports, will probably never fix. I took the Verizon SIM card out before updating and it was hard to connect to Wi-Fi at first, but in the end, after all the updates, there was no Verizon crapware. I have been using the phone only on Wi-Fi so I cannot confirm that it works with other providers, but I don't expect that to be an issue moving forward. I wish it came with a cover, as most phones do these days, but I was able to order one on eBay for $3.

In our breakfast nook, the wife and I watch the news over coffee and breakfast. Hey Google, What's on TV brings up YouTube TV. Or My wife says Hey Google, Play CBS on YouTubeTv. Smple.

I used the older Pixel Buds and while I loved them, there were some issues that cropped up with connectivity. I can confidently say that those issues have been resolved with these newer versions. Sound is amazing. I have a good size collection of wireless headphones/earbuds ranging from inexpensive to high end, and these are near the top when it comes to sound. This is great considering how inexpensive they are. I love them. Bass is punchy, highs and mids are crisp and clear. Music and podcasts sound amazing. I love the ease of connection to my Z Fold3, and the Google Assistant features integrated into them. I really enjoy that it will read me my notifications and it's super easy to reach Google Assistant. I will say that the only thing I wish it had was wireless charging, but I love that it's USB-C connection. Battery life lasts a long time and charging is quick. The case is nice and it's satisfying just opening and closing the case. Highly recommend.

I replaced my Mediacom modem and wireless with the CM700 as the modem and Google mesh as the wireless portion - the result was a 3- to 4-times improvement in network speed!!

went from 1 bar on a Verizon camera to 3 after install of this antenna, thanks Spypoint!!!
