what's going on guys the Traverse consumer and it's time for another real dandy life this time with the Google pixel excel now with a real day in the life video you guys are gonna see me spend a full day with the phone while I'm testing things out like the battery life camera performance and the cool features that each phone might have and since we're using the Google pixel you know I gotta try out that Google assistant and see how it actually works in the real world so here's how we spent the day alright guys so we've got the pixel excel in hand and it's got a full charge battery 100% so we're gonna see how that battery does but we're gonna be starting today off with the LA Auto Show so I figured this would be a pretty good spot to try out the camera take some pictures in some pretty cool cars alright guys so we're inside the LA Auto Show so I think we're gonna take a couple of pictures of this and see what the quality of the pixel xl's camera looks like so right now we're actually recording with the pixel I've got the pixel XL over here that I'm going to be taking some pictures with but you can judge the video quality with what you're seeing right now so we're going to take a picture and see what we can get this looks pretty cool name damn that's sharp too so I'm able to zoom in and still see a lot of detail still really sharp and you can even see all the stickers that are on here with all the feature names but so far the quality looks really nice it does look a tad bit warmer than I'm seeing in real life but so far still looks really good so I've been using the pixel excel and the regular pixel and I gotta say I prefer typing on the smaller pixel this one's a bit more has to be two-handed since it's a bigger phone not really crazy about the feel in the hand with this guy after using the pixel I like it a bit more but texting is okay it's fine I've been able to do my email with some problem all right guys so we just wrapped up from inside the Auto Show and it looks like I've got about 78 percent battery left we've got a wild Morrison in the back and 70 percent battery not bad because we do it we did a lot of camera stuff and you know cameras drain the battery I got almost an hour a screen on time and to be at 78% that's pretty good so I'm expecting maybe we'll end off around four to five hours we'll see so we just took a selfie with the front-facing camera obviously but we took a selfie and it is actually really good quality you can see it's got some pretty good dynamic range that sky doesn't look blown out our faces look pretty well lit all right this is the Disney IG camera man yeah it's the new IG camera I'm telling you right now we're gonna go to CVS but I'm in LA I have no idea where CBS's so we're gonna use Google Maps and how does one point four miles away we're gonna walk there nine minutes are you can manage right that's right all right so let's go some more taxing stuff for the bad so we're walking in the street and we saw someone who acts that looks familiar looks like someone from a show so we're gonna see if we can find them okay Google dad from Arrested Development this guy Michael the second oh yes Wow okay so there you go so the end of the Kim to you not really that guy was Korean all right looks like we made it so iris had the pharmacy so I figured I might as well play some Pokemon go to kill some time and unlike the LGV 20 this one runs super smooth and even with the lgb 20th game optimization setting turned off this still runs way way better complete those guys this wallpaper is awesome this thing is so sick look at Max's my clothes and it matches the phone if you're wondering it's this cool app right here called minima pro so check that out if you guys want to get some really cool customizable live wallpapers so it's about 5:00 p.m. now and I've got about 54% battery that's really good I think in terms of screen on time I'm looking at a little more than two hours so so far so good like I like I said I'm probably going to hit that four hour maybe five hour mark we'll see what happens all right guys so we just hit up the Grove but check this out on the phone you can actually see a map directory pop up so it shows us every store that's in here just by being in the same vicinity so we can see all the spots that they've got over here and that's just pretty awesome that's a very very useful feature right all right so I found me a Nike store got a new hat got a new hoodie now I have to compromise and go to Sephora makeup store where area it's on violin so why Larry does her shopping I'm gonna catch up with some Dragon Ball super and I gotta say guys having an AMOLED panel is awesome on the pixel because colors are super super vibrant they look great and this thing is just sharp there's a quad HD display just looks really really good I doubt that the camera is gonna do it any real justice but trust me when I say I am loving the quality of the screen this definitely feels like a premium device for sure just off the screen alone so there's another feature where you're able to swipe down on the fingerprint scanner and you get your notifications swipe up and they go away sounds awesome right except your finger naturally rests on the fingerprint scanner side so when you're walking around or you're using it you might happen to give it a little nudge and the notification drop down and you got a swipe back up to get rid of it happens way more frequently than I would like so it's a little sensitive and I don't know I just think I have to keep the feature off because it's becoming a pain so we're going to ask Google to find the nearest coal stone because if you know us from this channel you know we love cold stone but what's cool is that we can activate the Google assistant without having to turn on the phone or go into the phone so ok Google where's the nearest cold stone there we go and quick update it's now 7:00 p.m. and we've got 39% battery left so so far so good I'd say would be we're doing pretty all right let's see what that screen on time says about almost 3 hours 2 minutes 2 hours and 46 minutes so almost there I'm pretty confident we'll hit 4 hours not so sure about 5 but this is still really really good 7 p.m. 39% it's all day battery all right guys so somehow we ended up in Dave & Buster's IRAs never been I've never been here so I'm having a great time there's a cool machine over here that rocks as you ride it so we're going to try to image stabilization on the camera and see how it works so we just wrapped up at Dave & Buster's I think we walked away with some goodies I got re some plush toys we had some winnings from our game tickets so we did decent and in terms of the Google pixel let's see 9 o'clock right now and we're looking at 31% battery and screen on time over 3 hours 3 hours of 7 minutes so there's still some life left in this guy and the day is over for me really so we'll probably get some ice cream and see what else we can do so right now I'm just catching up on social media since I've been pretty busy today and I gotta say I don't know if it's because I'm using this without a case but I'm really not crazy about the pixel excels feel in the hand it just feels a little big it's not the biggest one I've ever used either but something about it just feels a bit uncomfortable but when it comes to the actual pixel this bill is like it feels just right it feels perfect he lose out on a better display this has a higher resolution on Excel but honestly it just looks like a smaller screen you can't really see a different quality but this feels right it definitely does but maybe a case might change that but right now in the hand pixel feels better all right guys so we're back at the hotel and let's do a final check-in it is about 12 19 so let's see Emma's battery we've got left 10% and screen on time 4 hours and 21 minutes which is solid not quite five hours and I'm sure we can get a bit more juice out of this since it's got 10% but uh yeah I think got some really solid battery life not only give you guys my final wrap-up overall I was really pleased with my experience with the pixel excel the LA Auto Show was the perfect place to showcase the new camera even outside the Auto Show the cameras photos were really impressive but to be honest I wasn't too thrilled with the video quality it gets a pass but it definitely doesn't win any awards in my book and that AMOLED display very nice it's super vibrant sharp and easy to use indoors and even in direct sunlight and the performance is exactly where I had expected with a Snapdragon 820 1 processor the thing doesn't lag at all and it's super quick very snappy and since I'm still in that Pokemon go train I've been playing that a lot and it's been super smooth which I can't say about some other phones so in terms of performance I've got no complaints the pixel gets a big thumbs up and it better with that price range now when it comes to the feel in the hand I wasn't too crazy about the pixel XL I did find the pixel far more comfortable but I gotta say surprisingly after throwing a case on the XL it got a lot more comfortable in the hand and just having some of the baked in features really makes owning the pixel worth it I like being able to pull up Google assistant and have it work something out for me and there's even that cool little feature with the fingerprint scanner where you can pull down your notifications like I said in theory that sounds really cool but your finger naturally rests on the back there so I can see people setting it off by mistake like myself and I can really get frustrating to me the pixels really deliver on what they're meant to which is the next level of Nexus devices but it's gonna really suck to see those low price tags go away as these are now premium devices I think they're worth the money but it does suck to see the Nexus lineup just kind of go away but that about wraps it up for this video guys I listen to your feedback and I'm glad you liked the format so this will be continuing but till the next one is ravage consumer peace
