Audience
This is for young adults 18-30 who have busy lives and need a phone to make life easier.
The first smartphone was created in 1992 by a company called IBM. They called it Simon Personal Communicator (SPC). I know what you're thinking, ugly name. Although with its terrible name, it had a touch screen, and even capabilities such as email. This invention was a break through and was the start of a big change in the modern world. Oddly this first smartphone was not made public until 1992, and wasn't very poplular. IBM only made 50,000 units, and even so not many had one. You reading this probably didn't even know that. While the SPC with all its amazing tech at the time, it is nothing compared to the smartphones we have today. It wasn't until 2012 that smartphones caught on, now its nearly impossible to catch someone without a smart device. The real question is, was life simpler back then? or have smartphones made our lives more difficult?
It’s now 2025. Everyone has a smartphone. From all the different companies such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus, the list goes on and on. Let’s be honest, all of these phones do everything except maybe make your life simpler.
Scroll your social media feed, and every add you see ad promises more, bigger camera numbers, more buzzwords, more glass, more hype. But you don’t really need “more”, what you really need is better. Something that works with you, not against you.
If you’re like most young adults between 18 and 30, your phone isn’t just a phone. It’s your second brain, your side hustle, your personal assistant, your connection to friends and family, your photo album, your calendar, your GPS, your library, your lifeline. Without it you're lost.
You probably know exactly what it’s like to be on your phone from the minute you wake up. You spend your day scrolling, replying, snapping pics, sending work emails, looking up that one fact for a presentation, booking that last minute gig ticket, or ordering a late night door dash snack at 1 am.
You know what else you keep telling yourself but haven't said out loud? The little annoyances that come with it. That one time your battery died right when you were about to give a presentation. The endless spam calls asking about your car's extended warranty. The blurry photo you wish you could just retake or fix. The “storage full” pop up that makes you regret getting the option with the lowest storage.
I am not saying go get your self a SPC from 1992, but you know you deserve better. That’s what the Google Pixel team believes. That’s why they built a phone that’s smart without making you work harder. It solves real, everyday headaches with thoughtful design and AI that’s always working for you.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better phone out there” this is for you.
We've all had that moment we needed a friend to take a picture, only when you got your phone back and check the picture all you can do is cringe. Too dark. Too blurry. Eyes are shut. Or there’s a random photo bomber in the background making a weird face. It's frustrating, and chances are you won't be able to capture that exact moment again.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel’s camera is more than a lens, it’s a tiny seamless photo lab. One of our favorite features is Magic Eraser. It allows you to circle anything in your shot, a car in the driveway, a random dog, or that annoying photo bomber, and like magic, it’s gone. No need to download a 3rd party app or editing software to correct a photo. In seconds, it's gone.
What about low light? We have all been in the situation where our photo turns out too dark, or you take a photo at night but can't see anything. Introducing Night Sight. Night sight turns a dim room or a twilight garden into a crisp, bright scene. As if you took the photo during the middle of the day. Great for those who love night photography or someone who wants a nighttime picture brighter. And if you want that blurred background? Pixel’s Portrait Mode can handle that for you, making your selfies, clean, crisp and engaging.
Bonus Tip:
Pixel also includes photo unblur on your old shots too. Doesn't matter how old your photo is. Have one from three years ago? Pixel can sharpen it right up and make it right.
Does this sound familiar? “We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your vehicle’s extended warranty. You should’ve received a notice in the mail about your car’s extended warranty eligibility..." blah blah blah... It never stops endless calls from people you don't want to speak with. No matter what you do you can't get them to stop calling.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel’s Call Screening picks up when you don’t want to. Google Assistant politely asks, “Who’s calling, and why?” Providing you will a real time transcription of what the caller is saying all displayed on your phone. This real time screening allows you to take control over whom you want to speak to. Scam? Block it. Real? Pick up. It just that easy.
Bonus Tip:
Pixel learns as you go. The more spam you block, over time, the better it gets. To the point you will never be bothered with a spam call again. You can also silence unknown numbers altogether, so they don't bother you during lifes most important moments. Peace restored.
Spring break is one of the best times for travel, from South Beach Florida, to Rome, London, Tokyo, or even Paris there are many destinations for an awesome week full of fun activities. However, a language barrier could lead to an awkward situation, making your vacation less than ideal.
Pixel’s fix:
Introducing Live Translate, a mini translator that fits in your pocket. Speak into your Pixel, and it spits out a real-time translation. When the other person talks, your Pixel shows you exactly what they said. No more switching to an app. No more typing in your response. No more awkwardness. This feature is a must have on Spring Break.
Bonus Tip:
No Wi-Fi? Pixel’s got offline packs for dozens of languages. You can ask for directions, even if you're in the middle of the desert.
The dreaded low battery warning. In class, on a bus, during a late shift at work, a low battery is a disaster. With no charger, what do you do?
Pixel’s fix:
Adaptive Battery studies your phone's usage. It learns as you go, and dials down power-drain on stuff you don’t touch thus extending your battery life. Pixel also includes Extreme Battery Saver which freezes unused apps so you squeeze every minute from your charge. The value is unlimited.
Bonus Tip:
On Pixel if you plug in for 15 minutes, you can get hours of life. No more hunting for a charger at your friend’s house.
Everyone is full of excuses. You tell your friend to switch phones, and they come up with a lame excuse, “I’d switch, but my photos, my contacts, my passwords, my apps, it feels like I'm starting over, blah blah blah..." Truth is switching to Pixel has never been easier.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel’s Quick Switch Adapter is your easy button. All you need to do is plug your old phone in, and follow the prompts. Contacts, texts, pics, and even app data comes with you, it's fast easy and really that simple.
Bonus Tip:
Using google photos keeps your memories safe. Lose your phone? Log into your new one.
Have you ever been speaking to your friend about a topic and a few minutes later you see an ad about what you were talking about? Honestly, it's just weird. It's as our phones are listening to us, and they know too much. While this is just targeted ads, there can be real threats to you and your personal data. Think about it, you bank, shop, date, study... you do all of this on your phone. You're phone holds your whole digital footprint. This getting into the wrong hands could cause severe damage to you and your life.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixels Titan M2 Security Chip. This smart hardware locks down your sensitive info, protecting you from online threats, scam, and bad actors trying to steal your data. Pixel also gets at least five years of security updates, so you’re not left vulnerable like other phones.
Bonus Tip:
Got private pics? You can store them out of sight until you unlock them. Out of sight, out of mind.
A new phone is exciting, but they can come with a hefty price tag. You drop $800+ on a new device, six months later it’s lagging, dull and you have a bit of buyer's remorse. You want to get a new device but can't swallow another large price tag.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel stays fresh and up to date. Android allows full customizability, no further need to be locked down to an apples cookie cutter design. Pixel is super easy to pick a wallpaper, colors, widgets, and icons adjust automatically. Getting bored of how it looks? With minor adjustments it can now feel new every week if you want it to.
Bonus Tip:
Want to take it further? Pixel’s includes themed icons and custom widgets to match your vibe for the week. You can have it cozy and muted on Monday, and bright and energetic by Friday just in time for the weekend.
Spring break. Cousins wedding. Last week’s brunch. Juan's crazy pool party. You're a photo finatic. You took 10,000 photos, but its nearly impossible to find that one crazy photo that you really want to show the boys. 30+ minutes of scrolling and you don't even come close to finding it. We've been there.
Pixel’s fix:
Google Photos search is next-level, and ends all wait time and doubt. Type “Juan's Pool 2025.” Boom. There it is. No more enternity scrolling to find a photo. Do you also need to copy text off a screenshot? Easy work. On Google Photos It recognizes words in your photos too.
Bonus Tip:
Need to share that info fast? Once you copy text from a photo in Google Photos, you can paste it directly into a message, email, or doc in seconds.
Life is so busy, you’re working all day, then rushing home just to head right back out, no time to rest you've gotta driving the kids to soccer practice, answering last-minute work emails in the parking lot, picking up groceries on the way home, and trying to squeeze in time for friends, family, and maybe a moment for yourself. We get it.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel is the king of multitasking. It handles it like a boss. Its software and hardware are made for each other. When the apps fly open, split screen lets you watch YouTube and text at the same time. Have a late night video call? Do that while checking your calendar. Or video call and check your calendar.
Bonus Tip:
You can also pair split screen with Google Assistant. Ask your Pixel to set reminders or send quick texts all while your watching Caseohs latest gaming stream. It’s like having a tiny personal helper making sure nothing slips through the cracks, even when you've got to jugle it all at once.
Does your phone ever overwhelm you? Getting way too many chat, emails, and notifications? Now days everyone wants something and our phones feeling more and more needy.
Pixel’s fix:
Pixel’s At A Glance is the solution. This feature displays important information on your lock screen, giving you quick access without actually checking your notifications or opening your apps.
