    I've just recently started using this S.Voice app built into most Samsung smartphones. I use the Car Mode and it allows me to make/take phone calls, send/receive texts, navigate, & play music with voice commands only. I really like it. It's free & easy to use. Start S.Voice and if you like tell it to "turn on car mode". Outside of Car Mode it can do many other things like start apps or take memos, or even search the web. I only use Car Mode when I drive. At night I turn the screen down to minimum brightness & it doesn't light up the cab like a spotlight.

    I can sleep comfortably well even if I know there is a new phone somewhere? Did you hear a kid in Hong Kong has the newer version of Pixel? The old Pixel is carp now. ;-)

    The Pixel is a brand new phone. There isnt an older version.

    Your Samsung runs Android. But Android is created by Google. There is no one who can better match the Android software with the proper hardware than the ones who created it for the most cohesive experience. The Pixel is the first Google phone inside and out.

    The Google Pixel is the smoothest Android experience in existence. It's a game changer. Android is finally on par (and imo now surpasses) with Apple in terms of stability, reliability and user experience.

    You heard it here first. Just wait in a few years once Google has had time to fine-tune things everyone will have a Pixel like everyone now has an iphone. Google is just getting its feet wet with the first version of Pixel and they still knocked every other smartphone out of the park.

    Next up you will see Google stores popping up all over the place like you see Apple stores.

    Actually the pixel isn't the first google phone.

    Also, the largest market share is android right now, not IOS. Also the largest Android share is Samsung.

    The pixel is buggy as #### also (I have one, and regret it.) The mic drops out all the time. The wifi is ####. It overheats (and I am using it in winter time, in the north. Can only imagine what the 105 temps are going to do to it in the summer.

    There are other weird things it does. Maybe google will fix them, maybe not. I doubt it will really take off though.

    And you sound like you'll be the first in line with the rest of the Sheeple every 6 months when the newest version comes out. No thanks.

    Samsung Galaxy Legend...$35.00 at Amazon, and does everything I need a phone to do for $45.00 a month pre-paid.
     
    tscottme Thanks this.

    I like the way when I curse at my S.Voice app when it doesn't understand what I want, it casually #### out the swear words and offers to search the net for the same thing.

    It's the first one completely designed by Google.
