hey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and this is what's on my android phone 2013 now I did one of these in 2012 just one of these and apparently you guys wanted to see a bit of an updated version of that since it's been a while since I did that previous video so this is a current snapshot of my phone situation going on here it happens to be Android still right now and there are a whole lot of things that are probably different about my phone situation than about years so I'll go ahead and details those right now because there are a few disclaimers that I have to get out the way before we go to the tour so the big disclaimer is I don't really have a daily driver that is probably the most frequently used word in my inbox hey what's your daily driver and for most people that's the the one phone that you use every single day I don't really have one I have two phone lines because I do review phones one is a Verizon line and one is a straight talk line with AT&T service the verizon line is the one that everyone knows and calls me by so I guess has the closest thing to a daily driver but I sometimes just really preferred the phone that I'm using with AT&T that said right now I'm using a Galaxy S 4 on Verizon and my AT&T line is right now it's usually in the HTC One while I sometimes go to the Apple fly-in 5 but when you talk about daily driver it really just depends on the day sometimes I go on a road trip and I don't bring a charger with me and I just bring my verizon Galaxy Note 2 because that's just what lasts the longest and I don't really have to worry about charging or battery or anything like that so my phone depends on the situation but I'm going to go ahead and give you guys a tour of my galaxy s4 so without any further ado let's take a look alright so this is of course the phone that we're talking about here it's the Verizon black galaxy s4 of course they have a gorgeous 1080p display here for the demo but basically I'll try to include every single link for all the apps that I talked about by name right below the like button in the description so I'll have Play Store links to everything that you want to check out if you want to check out these apps for yourself so basically the setup we have going on here is the basic treatment that I give all the new phones that I have to test or review or what-have-you and this is this is basically what I'll do with every single one of the so I'll install this basic suite of apps and give it this overall look so without any further ado this is of course Android 4.2 on the galaxy s4 so we have our beautiful lockscreen and this is - clock which is the widget here and of course we have Google now to the left we can have as many pages as we want and I have the tasks extension I have eye on the sky and sliding messaging Pro those are the extensions I have for - clock so go ahead and jump right in here and you can see this wallpaper I've gotten a lot of questions about this wallpaper this wallpaper comes from the Starck icon pack so if you download it install the start icon pack from the Google Play Store and you select a wallpaper you'll have the ability to select this one from the start icon pack so this is pretty sweet you should also follow me on Twitter by the way that link will be on top of the description anyway this is action launcher pro and this is why I have all my apps to the side of the launcher here sort of gone along with the Android design language of being able to swipe in from the side this is now in my launcher as well so this is action launcher pro and again I have a full-screen dash clock widget for all my information here and of course I can change any of the settings here if I ever want to do that and I have two pages so one is my - clock fullscreen widget and right beside that is my most frequently used apps those are the frequently used apps so I have Google keep Google Play Music I in the sky feedly and Google Plus on the sky is the weather app it's a pretty great app and it's also a beautiful day outside feedly since a Google Reader is dying pretty soon we have feebly to keep track of all that's happening in the world Google Plus you should totally +1 this if you're following me here Google Plus is pretty much the greatest thing to come out of Google anyway YouTube the new YouTube app came out today which allows you to swipe in from the side from anywhere in the app just a neat little thing Google Maps Instagram gallery jb+ which is where I have all my pictures obviously I don't use the stock gallery it tends to be pretty terrible and the galaxy s4 and s3 and also WolframAlpha a very underrated app of course you got to know how many vitamins are in your bacon but yeah this is the most frequently used app section down at the bottom I have Google now Google Tasks Falcon which is the Twitter app of choice for me of course if you want to follow me there like I said the link is below sliding messaging I don't want to show you guys that and Google Calendar which is of course Google Calendar so of course I'll swipe into the side I'm going to show you the list of all the apps I have here you can always bring in widgets if you want from this particular list but I have a couple of games not really all that many camera jb+ is basically the stock camera with your camera app from Android 4.2 jelly bean so that's nice to have Amazon chrome clock jb+ is the stock clock app of course so again I'm getting a lot of things from jelly bean here contacts and dialer are some third-party apps I have to replace the very ugly Samsung ones dirt road structure 3d has been a addiction of mine recently Google Drive Dropbox ebay eye on the sky Facebook Falcon blahblahblah one over is already halo is for hailing taxis in New York City which is neat hangouts of course hollow calc it's just a neat looking calculator it looks a thousand billion times better than Samsung's calculators so I'll basically use this one every time I need to do something at the calculator Google keep of course Instagram if you want to follow me on Instagram my name on every social network is mkbhd so can't miss that maps facebook Messenger so of course we get our chat heads going on there MightyText is what allows me to sync and send texts from my computer so that's pretty useful too and then a whole bunch of other things package buddy lets me track any package I get a lot of packages and also send a lot so that's definitely helpful for maintaining that sort of information a whole bunch of playthings pocket very useful reddit news is my reddit app of choice SkyDrive for golfing Snapseed for photo editing SoundCloud for music listening speed view is a way to see you're basically a speedometer via GPS I was in a train one day I wanted to know how fast I was going so I just opened the app and it gave me my exact speed in miles per hour so that was pretty useful and I had a pretty accurate real-time reading of that so that was cool and that's almost it we're getting to the end here Spotify the stark eye contact of course tasks Tetris The Weather Channel translate vine I just signed up for vine I don't think I'm going to use it but somehow I have a thousand follow there so maybe I'll have to do some vines and then WolframAlpha and YouTube that's basically it so there is my current galaxy s4 setup if you guys were wondering all of these links like I said I'll try to include in the description below this is in fact a Play Store link by the way and action launcher also happens to have a quick little search so if I want to search for say Google+ or I don't have Google+ by PL but the Play Store or anything it'll be able to open an app just for that little quick search box so that's your usefull button of the day either way notification bar of course this annoying Wi-Fi notification from all the Verizon phones but also this empty in 14 hours this is from battery widget reborn so that's telling me how much battery life I have left in percent and then tells me exactly how much time left and then of course a go ahead little torch here to show I don't know I light up my whatever whenever I need to get into a place that's dark and I don't have a flashlight so there you go that's the Android setup of mkbhd for 2013 so there you go that has been what's on my Android phone 2013 again it's been Android for the past two times that I've done this video if you have a way to personalize a Windows Phone or an iPhone or a blackberry surprise me you leave it as a video response usually you can tell from a mile away when someone's using an iPhone and usually you can tell from pretty far away when it's a Windows Phone or a blackberry but if you have no idea what's going on with someone's phone chances are it's an Android phone so go ahead and leave your video responses below if you want to leave a tour of your setup and I'll be checking it out giving some ideas getting some ideas and I'll definitely some comments on those either way leave a thumbs up if you enjoyed thank you for watching and I'll talk in the next video
