The phone in your pocket is most helpful when it’s packed with the apps you need.
Because phones play such a big role in our lives, you need one that gives you fast access to the apps and services you use every day, such as Google Maps,2
These Google apps come loaded on every Pixel and are powered by all the smarts of Google, including the
Pixel Buds are useful when you’re touring a new city on foot and want to keep your eyes on the sights. Running errands and need to reach the local hardware store? Use Google Maps on your Pixel phone, watch, or earbuds to find your way with ease.4 Just ask Google to get turn-by-turn directions right in your ear or on your wrist using Google Maps with Pixel Buds or the Pixel Watch. And before you head out of the house, you can ask Google on your Nest Hub or Next Hub Max for directions and traffic conditions, and they’ll automatically be sent to your phone. You can also ask Google Assistant to make a call from your Pixel Buds, so you can keep your hands free to carry your bags.1
When vacationing in Israel, Aliza Knox found it easier to use Google Wallet than pay with a card. She was out with her cousin who lives there, to celebrate his wife’s birthday at a restaurant in the ancient port of Jaffa.
Knox picked up the bill and paid with Google Wallet, which lets you store your credit and debit cards and pay quickly from your Pixel phone or Pixel Watch.3
To make a payment with the Pixel Watch, look for a place that accepts contactless payments or GPay, double-press the crown, and your default credit card will show on the face. Hold the face near the payment terminal, and when you hear the chime, you’ve paid your check.
Knox checked the tab, added the tip, tapped the screen, and headed back to the hotel. “It’s fast and easier than having to dig around for your credit card,” she says. “I use Fingerprint Unlock on the phone, so it’s easy to authenticate it.”
A phone is only as good as what it can do for you. With all the software and services loaded on Pixel phones and the Pixel Watch, fast help is always within reach.
