hey what is up guys I'm kabhi HD here and welcome to the 2018 what's on my smartphone video now I'm pretty sure I've mentioned at least once or twice in previous videos that my setup does not change that much from year to year on my phone now fair warning to those of you who saw last year's video a lot of the apps are gonna look very similar to that they'll see I didn't do this video over and over again because what's on my phone was mostly the same setup I have is usually pretty simple and this is because I switch phones pretty often during the course of the year nevertheless here we are people have asked for it I'm showing it to you again one of the more interesting questions I get from friends like outside of this is isn't it annoying to change your phone like to switch your whole setup and transfer everything over and over again every time you change phones isn't that and knowing after a while and the answer is yes but I've kind of streamlined it in a way I mean Google handles a lot of the migration of that stuff usually it's not that big of a deal and then I kind of streamlined it so it's nearly the same every time and I know exactly when I'm done setting everything out but anyway I'm carrying two phones as I've mentioned that I did last year two pockets two phones and it's my favorite Android phone right now and my favorite iPhone right now same thing as last year so this iPhone 10 in silver is my second most used phone it's good for a lot of those camera things like snapchat Instagram live the occasional periscope things that iOS is good at there's also a couple of apps some specific VR games and things like that that are only on iOS right now so I just kind of always have an iPhone in my pocket but if you saw Lou's video from CES a couple weeks ago earlier this year then you already know that the main phone in my pocket is the Panda Google pixel 2 XL but I still love this phone for all those same reasons that I loved back when I reviewed it a couple months ago and I keep coming back to it for those same reasons so this is my setup alright so first of all wallpaper I'll definitely link that below people have asked about it I've tweeted about it recently it's a little bit of a blue Canyon but this is the setup to start and I'll just give you that sort of a walkthrough basically I've said this before but I use the Google stock clauncher for a couple of reasons but mainly because a lot of the features that end up getting really popular and are really useful in third-party apps like Nova Launcher slowly make their way into this stock launcher now this side piece here with the Google News and all these cards it's it's decently useful but I use it a little bit less because it's actually gotten worse you can't swipe away cards anymore like if you're not interested in something you can't swipe it away to get rid of it and that's pretty annoying so it just kind of ends up filled with things that I'm not interested in which is pretty dumb you should let us remove stuff like this what is it I don't I don't care about half of this stuff anyway this is the home screen I got the weather up top and the date that's cool I don't really use a whole ton of space so you can see again like I mentioned it's pretty darn similar to the last time I showed it so here's my apps at the bottom I switch to tick tick which is my task manager app now it's really clean and it syncs with itself it doesn't really use Google Tasks but it's still pretty good and then I use Google keep to manage lists like grocery lists so those are the two must use apps for me Instagram y'all familiar with that I use it all the time Yahoo fantasy sports I'm doing a lot worse this year than I was in previous years although I do think oh it's a new week but I did win my last week which is pretty good my fantasy team is it's alright I had a late pick well what are you gonna do there's Google photos there's Google Maps there's YouTube studio I think pretty much every youtuber ever has YouTube studio on their phone you could use it to answer comments keep track of videos things like that that's all there Spotify my number one music player of choice the Tesla app that's how you warm up your car before you go outside in the freezing cold to get to it high and all the other management stuff I've done a video all on that app and then relay Pro which is my read adapt of choice people seem to ask every time I show this like why do you use relay Pro yes there are other pretty good reddit apps for Android this one just happens to be really familiar to me at this point but anyway I also use this to manage the mkbhd subreddit which we're using a little bit more now if you head over to our mkbhd we're starting to experiment with that and getting video suggestions there and things like that so I'll link that below if you're interested and of course at the bottom are the mainstays the phone the messenger the Play Store the camera app and then Lemang go is my twitter app of choice I'm pretty sure when I did this video last time of the year it was Phoenix they started messing around with a beta that I'm not as interested in but flamingo which is another bird is another Twitter app for Android that's really good remembers my spot in the timeline does everything well it's pretty it's pretty material it's good so flamingo I'll link I'll link that below as well now I'm gonna swipe over to my second home screen here and this is my calendar app the full-screen calendar widget it's the exact same that I used last time I was showing my phone but you'll notice it's kind of buggy and I can turn up the opacity and stuff to show this better depending on my wallpaper but I'm cool with it because it always highlights the top one but it always says loading at the top of each day loading loading that's not because it's actually loading that's just an android 8.0 bug that this app just has now I haven't switched to another full screen calendar widget because I still like the looks and the functionality of this one and how good it is I use Google Calendar for my life but if you're the developer of this app can you can you please update this for Android 8.0 please I'd really like it to actually say the date above each day thank you anyway going over to the third and final homescreen it's the shortcuts that I use just the apps that I'm using pretty often around now so wallet PayPal and passes I don't even use Google Wallet that often but this passes app I use literally just because of the carwash I go to which happens to have a royalty program every tank carwash is you get an 11-3 it doesn't work with Google Wallet so I use passes I think it's actually meant for iPhone and a dark sky for weather this is another one that started off really popular as an iPhone app that's made its way over to Android over the years it's almost as good on Android as it is on iOS it still has some bugs though but I mean whether app is a queue either as you'll see when I go to my app drawer we have ways I discovered this recently like in the past year turns out it's an incredible app for avoiding traffic and avoiding tickets nest I've showed that before I've got a couple Neffs cameras that's the security suite that's the thermostat that whole thing the authenticator app pocket cast is pretty new to me I guess basically during flights I have to figure out a way to pass the time and music kind of gets old after a long time so the pocket cast app with a couple good podcasts can be pretty good if you have any good podcast suggestions definitely hit me up in the common below I have the United app that's just because I fly United a lot and my boarding passes in there the health mate app from Nokia this actually used to be something else but then Nokia bought them and then now I have a scale that like talks to the app that tells me how much it's whatever and then the Google home app which is all the Google home devices you have of course if you have the shopping list I think they ruin the shopping list I just want to rant about that for a second you used to be able to say talk to Google and add something to your shopping list and then it would show up in Google keep in a list called shopping list now if you want to add something to your shopping list for some weird reason they changed it to show up in here inside the shopping list which opens in your web browser to this shopping list Google com why they did this I will probably never know they should definitely switch it back to talking to Google keep anyway last but not least YouTube it's a pretty pretty great site I've found recently they do some some interesting stuff over here if you want to check it out they host a lot of videos I'll share a link below but that's basically it for the home screen layout those are the apps the shortcuts you see pretty often those are the things I'm clicking the most anyway I'll finish it up with the the last scroll through all the apps that you know I have on my phone but didn't make it to my home screen again a lot of stuff pretty similar to last year but my main weather app of choice is AccuWeather platinum it's super accurate and it's awesome I also have after ship up here in my most recent that's pretty good for tracking just about any package anytime you copy a tracking number to your clipboard and open up after ship you asks you if you want to paste it and track it it's really good it syncs across platforms backdrops is again still pretty awesome for finding wallpapers Chrome Canary is also a lot of fun fun for showing new features that are coming to the main version of Chrome but also it's unstable it's super it literally has unstable in the name it's hilarious I have coinbase that's a thing that's new to me obviously cryptocurrency in the past year or two let's see you got daydream var Dropbox is pretty common you have the j-bird sound out for messing with the sound of your headphones the NBA app I it's it's alright it gives me notifications when cool things happen but scrolling down that's pretty it I have pocket I do use that a lot screener I use once in a while but it's awesome for sharing screenshots that are really pretty and I get down here to ooh BRR and venmo and ZocDoc and YouTube TV and that's pretty much it for the setup on my main phone like I said it's pretty similar to the last year but if you don't know now you know people were asking for it so now you have it maybe in a year if my setup is actually different I'll be able to share that but for the most part I'm expecting it to stay roughly similar so I'll link you to this video how's that so that's it thank you for watching talk to you guys the next one peace
