ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: The Pixel 11 Pro Isn't Really a Phone

Google just built a phone that proves they've basically stopped caring about phones like at all

but it might actually be the best one they've ever made.

Everyone is saying the new Pixel 11 Pro is boring but this is quietly the best phone Google's ever shipped.

They just buried it under a mountain of other things without really talking about the hardware and why they did that?

Well that's the important part here.

It is bigger than this one phone.

Look let me get this out of the way because well

if I don't I think you'll all be in the comments about it, but the internet is right about the outside.

It's the same basic box, same basic feel in the hand, same basic phone when it comes to hardware.

It's slightly smaller and lighter.

Google redesigned the camera bar so it's one solid color now instead of matching with the phone.

I went with the fog color for this year.

It's the closest you can get to white, and I just love the way this thing looks.

And all of that, well, it changed nothing for me.

Zero.

And I've used every Pixel Google has made, so here is my problem this year.

The hardware, well, it barely changed and yet this, at least right now, might be my favorite pixel ever.

Maybe even my favorite Android phone ever.

In fact, I think this is as close as you can get to an iPhone on Android, which for someone like me is important.

That's the kind of device I'm looking for, which means everything here got better somewhere that you don't really see on a spec sheet.

So whenever I start using a new phone for the first time, I just use it as my actual phone.

So I put all my info on it and I just get going.

It's just a phone.

Text, email, camera, all the normal things you do with it, the boring stuff.

The first thing that stood out to me was the screen because it's brighter now up to 3600 nits.

Now compared to the Pixel 10 Pro, I wouldn't say it's like a night and day difference, but I always take as much brightness as I can get.

So here when you're outside, you can see the screen, no problem.

There's no squinting, no crank in the brightness or anything like that.

It is brighter and you can see it.

Last year, one of the biggest complaints about the Pixel was it running hot

and like dimming the screen when it did it.

This one though, it seems to keep up.

It stayed cool.

It stayed stable through all of that, even in these hot 100 degree Utah summer days

and the battery life here actually found to be quite good even though the battery size went down

And I've been using this thing pretty heavily It really does

keep up with everything I'm doing in my normal life

and I know that sounds I mean good battery Wow what a revolution

but really that's kind of the point I just stopped thinking about the phone

because all the basics actually they got out of the way for me It's really the small stuff

that kind of sells me on this whole experience like for

example The haptics on this phone are some of the best

I've ever felt you feel it through the whole interface almost

every tap every scroll You can feel the phone doing something

and to me

that matters It's what makes the phone feel like an experience rather than just some slap

and it makes the phone kind of feel expensive

Which this phone is so that matters and the software is kind of the same story.

It's smooth.

It's refined I really haven't hit a single bug the whole time.

I've been using it.

It really for me has been my best Android experience to date Hey, if you guys are enjoying this content First of all, I just want to say thanks for watching and

if you could subscribe

that really means a ton It actually makes a big difference into how all these videos perform

and everything like

that I've got a ton of big plans coming up for

the next few months a lot of big changes Really trying

to think about this content going deeper make better visuals make better stories Hopefully you guys can see

that see that change if you want to join me in

that Really means a ton max save for me is one of those features

that I really can't live without like for example here in

the car I've got this mount here where I could put my phone when I'm in drive.

I can point it here.

It got perfect I got my Android Auto here.

PixelSnap exists on here.

We had it last year, but I'm glad that they're using this because I just came from the Samsung phones and they still don't have those.

Hopefully next year that'll come, but I love this.

This is one of my favorite features.

And QuickShare finally talks to my Mac and iPhone now so I can move files without needing to use third-party software.

You know, not a big deal, but it just, you know, lowers that barrier to entry.

I'm going to pause on this highlight feature.

I absolutely love it.

I think it is beautiful.

I love looking at it.

When you talk to Gemini and see the animation, the swirls of all the lights going on here, I just love it.

I think it's so cool.

I love those types of features on phones like this.

Something that's just a little bit more whimsical, a little bit more interesting.

I love it.

But here's the thing.

I never use it.

I haven't really used it once for real besides just testing it because in order for it to work, you have to have your phone face down.

And I just, I don't use my phone that way.

If I'm going to have my phone face down, I might as well just have it in my pocket.

So I've never used the highlight feature once.

I love how beautiful it is, but as a feature, I really haven't used it.

Real quick though, before we continue, I want to thank this video sponsor, David.

Look, hitting your protein target sounds like a simple thing to

do until you actually look at what it takes to get there, especially when it comes to calories.

To get, for example, 28 grams of protein from like almonds, you'd have to almost eat an entire cup and that is over 800 calories.

David though gets you that same 28 grams for about 150 calories and zero sugar.

That is the highest calories from protein ratio on the market.

And with these gold bars, 75% of the calories are just protein.

And normally this is where bars start to get kind of gross because when they get to those types of numbers, they usually don't taste good.

They're kind of like chalky.

David though doesn't.

It uses soft dough with these crunchy crisps inside and it's actually good.

I'm always on the go and if I know I'm going to be out all day, I always pack some of these, whether it's in my camera bag or my backpack, whatever I'm doing, so that I know

that I don't have to pull off somewhere to get something to eat because I have it with me already.

100

So if you want to pick some of these up, use my link down below in the description or scan the QR code here on screen.

101

And right now, if you buy four cartons, you can get the fifth free.

102

Or you can just go to your local Target, Walmart, or local retailer and you're probably going to find David there.

103

Look, is this phone perfect?

104

No. If you're heavy into gaming for example, which I'm not, but if you are, this Tensor 6 chip just probably isn't the best option right now.

105

You can get better performance from other phones.

106

That's probably the biggest gripe I've seen many people have about this.

107

And yes, it does have a smaller battery.

108

It has a more expensive price.

109

It has less RAM.

110

But in my actual use, those things kind of fall to the wayside and the actual issues I have are relatively minor.

111

And there's a pattern worth noticing here because everything that actually makes this phone better, well, it's kind of invisible.

112

The battery, the heat, the screen, the haptics, the way the software just flows, I mean, none of it really shows up in a picture or a phone or whatever you're doing.

113

And the one new thing Google actually built into the hardware, that glowing light, well, it's the one thing I'll never actually use.

114

And so after using this, the phone everyone's calling boring is actually the nicest Android experience I think I've had to date.

115

Okay, but it's not quite fair to say nothing changed because there are some changes here.

116

Like in the camera, we actually have new hardware this year and it's basically just one thing.

117

The new telephoto camera.

118

Google put a bigger sensor in here for the 5x zoom so it pulls in more light and it's sharp.

119

It really looks great.

120

The main camera, the one that you're going to be shooting with most of the time, technically it does have a new sensor but it's the same size, same performance, everything, so you'll never notice a difference there.

121

But that one upgrade that they did put is coming to the sensor that most people don't really use.

122

Although the zoom performance here is pretty impressive.

123

But the software side of the camera is where this gets a little bit more interesting.

124

Like this feature called Magic Capture.

125

You basically just hit one button, it starts recording, you point it wherever you'd like, and instead of thinking about what you should capture, it captures everything, and then later AI will pick the best frames for you.

126

You can even grab photos and videos at the same time.

127

And it's actually pretty good.

128

For something you don't want to be fully paying attention to, this can actually help you quite a bit.

129

I used it more than I expected to.

130

And that is the camera AI actually helping out.

131

There's also the camera looks feature

132

which seems to be a bit of a trend in photography right now where you're making your photos look less perfect, look more stylized.

133

The only problem I have with this feature is not that it exists.

134

I think it's cool and I think a lot of people will like it.

135

I just don't like that it's destructive when you use this feature.

136

There's no going back or taking off this filter because it's actually changing how it's taking a photo, which is good in certain ways, but I don't like that.

137

I want the most information I can get.

138

I don't find myself using this at all, but if you're kind of in that Digicam world, I can see why this would matter to you.

139

And then there's the zoom which goes now up to 120x.

140

This is where it gets kind of interesting.

141

So you can see here I'm zooming way into this emblem

142

and when I take a picture it's really hard to see what this is

143

but then it's gonna do all its processing and well here's what it gave me.

144

This is the Porsche emblem and well this is not the Porsche emblem.

145

It does a pretty bad job when it comes to words and all that.

146

Basically what it's doing is guessing what your photo is supposed to be and using AI to enhance it.

147

This is a mixed Sometimes it works pretty well, but if you have any words or anything that matters, this is a this is pretty bad If you're using this 120x mode,

148

you're really not taking a picture You're just capturing what's in front of you

149

and then you're letting Google think what the best representation of

150

that is And look the thing

151

that the camera does handing you Google's version instead of like the real thing That's not just a camera trick.

152

That's kind of the whole company in one big feature Here's what everyone I think is missing

153

because they're all arguing about whether this hardware has changed enough year over year year, I think that's the wrong argument.

154

Google isn't really trying to sell hardware anymore.

155

I mean look what they did this year.

156

They raised the price to hundred bucks, gave you less RAM than last year on the base model

157

to make you pay for more to get back to where you already were, and that really I think beautiful highlight, the one feature I said I'd really never use, well they shipped it half-finished anyway.

158

You can't even use it for text, it barely does anything.

159

Less RAM, more money, half-baked features.

160

If this is just a phone, that's kind of a bad deal, at least it seems like it is.

161

And I think you'd be right to to kind of be upset about that, but look at what they give you for free instead.

162

It says a lot.

163

Six months of Google's Pro AI subscription.

164

Gemini gets baked into everything.

165

It reads your emails, it can dig through your drive, it can pull your flight info before you even ask, or at least it's supposed to.

166

The upgrade this year really isn't in your hand.

167

It's in the cloud and it's on a subscription.

168

You're not really buying a phone anymore.

169

You're just buying a subscription that has a really nice screen attached to it.

170

And this really isn't about the Pixel.

171

It's about the corner that Google's kind of backed into right now.

172

Because here's some quick history.

173

Back in 2017, Google invented the transformer, which is what the T in ChatGPT, that's what it stands for.

174

Google, that's their idea.

175

And then, well, they watched all these companies, especially one big startup, basically take that idea and win with it.

176

For years, when people heard the word AI, they basically thought of ChatGPT.

177

And Google was the company that lost the race it basically started.

178

And for a minute, I mean, it looked like Google fixed this because at the end of last year, Gemini 3 dropped and it topped the charts.

179

And then OpenAI panicked so hard that they declared a company-wide code red, but that lead for Google, it didn't hold because the model race, the thing that all these companies are in on,

180

well, that changes every few weeks.

181

And right now, Google is not wearing it and it's not really close.

182

And it's worse than that because the people who built this stuff, they're leaving the company.

183

The guy who co-wrote the paper that started all of this, well, he left for OpenAI.

184

A Nobel Prize winner left for Anthropic.

185

Their longtime chief scientist left to start his own company.

186

The co-founder who ran DeepMind got moved out of the CEO seat.

187

When two of these high prominent people walked out in the same week, Google's stock dropped 5%, and Wall Street knows what that means.

188

And to add on top of that, their next model is reportedly months behind schedule.

189

So when it comes to just raw model quality, Google just is not winning right now.

190

And it's not obvious that they're going to catch up.

191

But it might not matter at all

192

because at least it seems maybe there's some shift here that Google isn't really playing the model game right now.

193

They're playing kind of two games that nobody else can.

194

And the first is distribution because Gemini is already in front of two billion people whether they ask for it or not.

195

Search, Gmail, Android, this phone.

196

The second game I think most people miss completely, because Google is the only one of the old tech giants that actually built real AI.

197

Apple couldn't do it, they had to go borrow it from Google.

198

Amazon and Microsoft basically resell other people's.

199

Meta lit north of $100 billion on fire and still basically have nothing to show for it.

200

The only names at the top of this whole thing are pure AI labs, so OpenAI and Anthropic.

201

But then we also have Google.

202

Google is the only old world company sitting at the table right now.

203

So, a phone that shoves Gemini in your face and hands you a free subscription isn't exactly Google failing.

204

It just might be the plan or the plan they're moving to.

205

They might not have the smartest model right now, but they can make sure that it's the one that's in your pocket that you're actually going to use.

206

And there's a reason that they need this to work.

207

Because, well, AI is also the thing that could entirely kill Google.

208

I mean, every question the AI answers for you is a question you didn't search.

209

And no search means no ads.

210

And ads are basically the whole company.

211

That's where all the money comes from.

212

So they're basically racing to make AI itself pay before it eats the business that funds it entirely.

213

That free six months that you're getting with this phone, it's not really a gift.

214

It's just the first hit in that cycle.

215

And look, none of this is new at all.

216

Google's been doing this same play for a couple of years now with a few generations of phone, but the Pixel 11 just makes it really obvious

217

and impossible to miss because it's basically the same phone as last year with less RAM, more money, and it still gives you that free trial of the thing they kind of actually want to sell you.

218

And here's the thing, it's not just Google.

219

Apple's building its own version, Samsung too.

220

The spec sheet really here seems to be dying, not because specs stopped mattering entirely, but because the spec sheet just isn't really the product anymore.

221

The product seems to be the platform, the axis, the thing that keeps you from changing after you've paid for the phone.

222

So the question everyone's asking here is, did the hardware change enough on this phone to upgrade?

223

But I think that's the wrong question.

224

The real question rather is, do you want to live inside Google's platform?

225

Do you trust where it's going?

226

That's kind of what you're buying right now.

227

And so where I land here isn't exactly like super clean.

228

Because this is the best Pixel I've used in years.

229

It gets out of the way for all the normal stuff.

230

The camera's really good, great even.

231

The thing just works.

232

And I liked living with it more than I even expected to.

233

But it's hard to judge because it's not exactly a phone.

234

That part is just one segment of what you're using here.

235

And I don't exactly know how to feel about that.

236

Google might not have the best AI by the time you're holding this phone.

237

Their best people are leaving, their models are late, but it doesn't matter.

238

It'll be the one already in your pocket, and most people never switch once that happens.

239

That's kind of the whole bet here.

240

Not necessarily the best product, but the closest one to you.

241

So, should you buy this?

242

Well, if you're on an old Pixel a few years old, I think this is an easy yes.

243

I love this device.

244

It's great.

245

If you're on an iPhone and you've just been curious about what Android would be like, This is the one I would steer you towards because it's the most iPhone-like experience.

246

If you're already on the Pixel 10, then no, there's nothing here for you, but that's kind of a small question.

247

The real question I want you to ask yourself is what's

248

the last piece of tech you bought where the hardware was actually exciting to you, that actually made you feel something?

249

I can think of a few off the top of my head, but they're getting fewer and farther between because I think that era is quietly ending,

250

and I want to know if you can feel it too.

251

Okay.
