What's happening YouTube, Josh Teder here for 6 Months Later and as many of
you out there know, I have been doing a ton of videos on Google Home devices for
the past year. I also use a ton of Google Home devices in my personal life as
well, so this may come as a shock to some of you out there, but I finally did it. I
bought an Amazon Echo and I'd like to tell you why I did that and what I think
about the Echo coming up. This is 6 Months Later
Why Josh? Why did you get an Amazon Echo, you may ask. Well it was Prime Day, they
were like $50, and I have been just curious about what the experience of
Alexa is like compared to the Google Assistant on Google Home devices and I
wanted to pass those learnings along to you. So that's why I bought an Amazon
Echo. Now to my loyal subscribers out there who only subscribe to this channel
for Google Home device videos, do not worry, we are not slowing those down. We
will keep rolling out Google Home feature update videos
and 6 Months Later reviews on new Google Home products going forward.
But now that I have an echo sitting on my desk right next to a Google home I
wanted to share my thoughts on the differences between the devices first
let's talk setup I thought the overall setup of the Amazon echo was on par with
the time it took to set up a Google home device though I did think that setting
up a Google home is slightly easier than setting up an Amazon echo with the echo
you have to go into your phone settings and connect to the echos Wi-Fi signal
which is an extra step compared to setting up a Google home one thing that
I really liked about the echo set up compared to the Google homes was that it
had this awesome intro video to the Amazon echo and what you can do with
Alexa now let's go to the question you're all probably wondering right now
which one is better is the Amazon echo better than the Google home well yes in
some respects it is and no it's not in other areas so let's take a look at
where these devices really compare and look at them head-to-head and let's
first start with design the first generation echo looked like this
space-age tube that really stuck out of your living room it did draw attention
to itself which is good in some ways but for me overall I thought the Google
homes designed better and blended into my overall home
aesthetic much better this was one of the reasons I originally went with the
Google home Amazon has certainly improved the aesthetic of the second
generation echo which is the one I have currently it looks so much more subtle I
really like the mesh cover they gave the echo and like with the Google home you
can change the cover to a different color to better match your room's
aesthetic one thing I don't care for with the echo is while that I appreciate
the amount of microphones they put into this thing there are way too many holes
for them on the top of the device those microphones plus the four buttons make
the top of the device look a bit busy looking visually and less appealing
though that's pretty nitpicky the Google home stop is much cleaner
though and more simple the Google home has LED lights beneath its touch surface
to act as the assistance indicator whereas the echo has its trademark LED
ring that lights up different colors for different actions so far I've ran into
quite a few colors there's white which represents volume just like it does on
the Google home blue is the maain Alexa color red is mute and I've also ran into
yellow for shipping notifications I'll cover more on the shopping experience
with Alexa in a bit the sound quality on the echo is alright
I don't have a first-generation Amazon echo to compare the second gen to so I
can't tell you how much Amazon improved the sound quality over the first
generation now compared to the Google home I found that the Amazon echo was
more clear with its sound the Google home sounded a little bit more muffled
with vocals and mid-range and I also thought that the bass on the Amazon echo
was better than the bass on the Google home so for $100 speaker I actually
thought the Amazon echoes sound was pretty good I wasn't expecting it to
sound better than my Google home acts per se which sounds amazing but for a
$100 speaker it sounds really good and I quite preferred its sound over the sound
my Google home speaking of music and media playback one weird quirk that I
found with the Amazon echo was there was no way to physically pause music
playback with the echo at least not that I could find the only way it seems like
you can play and pause media is by using your voice with the Amazon echo now this
is compared to the Google home where you can just simply tap the touch surface of
the Google home to play and pause media which I quite like especially if the
Google home is within reach it's a lot faster to be able to pause media by just
tapping it than to have to use your voice both the home and the echo do have
a way to wake the assistant without your voice the echo gives you a dedicated
button on the top where with the home you just tap and hold the touch surface
and the assistant will wake speaking of assistance overall I've actually been
fairly impressed with Alexa it is still not as capable as the Google assistant
for more advanced search queries but what it can answer is still pretty
impressive it can answer a lot more things than I thought it would be able
to and can do more complex queries in certain situations like it can follow
the context of a previous query so for example you can ask Alexa who is
JPMorgan and then Alexa will give you the answer and then you can ask it again
as a follow-up when was he born and Alexa will still know that you're
talking about JPMorgan some other things Alexa knows
Alexa knows what sound waves are it can tell you how long it would take to drive
somewhere and it knows Tesla's current stock price for other queries though
alexis still is not as capable as the Google assistant here are some random
queries I found that Alexa couldn't answer where Google could what is
lacroix Alexa did not understand I was referring to the popular soft drink and
thought I was talking about something in France and this last question which I
just think is hilarious why does my butt hurt Alexa why does my
butt hurt hmm I don't know that what is my butter
health conditions related to this search include piriformis syndrome muscle
strain or pregnancy I will say these queries are much more obscure than the
typical queries these assistance get asked so it is impressive that Google
can answer them to begin with overall though I was impressed by how much Alexa
can do compared to the Google home in terms of queries Amazon has definitely
been improving their assistant since the last time I tried Alexa over a year ago
next let's take a look at the shopping experiences on both of these platforms
this is an area where the platform's really differentiate themselves from
each other with the Google home you have Google Express which allows you to shop
through a variety of partners like Target Walmart and Home Depot and it
works something like this purchase an Amazon echo 2nd generation
ok the first thing I found on Google Express a second generation sandstone
fabric Amazon echo 2-way smart speaker from Target 480 $4.99 how's that sound
buy it alright I added it to your cart by the way target will deliver for free
if you spend $15 more it's pretty bizarre that you can buy an Amazon echo
through your Google home well you can't actually buy it through your Google home
what the Google assistant will do is add the Amazon echo to your Google Express
shopping cart and then you have to go on a mobile device or on your computer to
actually check out you can't actually buy the item directly with your voice
with Google Express which in my opinion is a bit lame however with Alexa and the
Amazon echo you can do just that and here's how that shopping experience
works purchase a stainless steel trashcan based on your order history
I found I touchless stainless steel trashcan 49 LT 13 gallon it's
see $3.63 from Amazon would you like to buy it yes okay order placed your total
is $68 and 24 cents including tax and your gift card was applied and will be
delivered by August 19th buying things with Alexa is pretty simple
and works really well it's actually something I think I'll be doing a lot in
the future which I was not expecting when I first bought my Amazon echo I
love the fact that it gives you suggestions on what to purchase based
upon things you've already purchased in your order history and as someone who is
an Amazon customer with a very large order history already with Amazon that
gives me more confidence when I place an order using my voice with Alexa now
luckily it is very easy to cancel an order in case you accidently order the
wrong thing or your kids bought some ridiculously expensive thing they were
not supposed to purchase these devices can also help you after your order has
been placed both the google home and the echo will give you notifications on your
orders which is pretty neat the google home actually has an advantage here if
you use Gmail because Google can scan your emails to identify purchases so
it'll know your Amazon orders are supposed to be delivered as well as
other orders from other vendors though it won't typically know what all is
placed in the order if you have multiple items within one order to ask about a
shipment notification just ask either Google or Alexa to track your shipments
I found nine orders that were placed in the last two weeks I'll start with the
most recent one first your order from amazon.com is scheduled for delivery
between September 6th and September 13 next your order from Panera Bread has
been confirmed your order from Panera Bread has been confirmed what are my
notifications one new notification from Amazon shopping
Josh's shipment has arrived for trashcan well that's it for my first
of Alexa the Amazon echo and how the echo compares to the Google home now
definitely let me know in the comments what you thought of this video if there
are any differences that I missed initially between the two devices and
let me know what you'd like to see in future videos between the Amazon Alexa
and the Google assistant now something to check out after this video is our

find interviews in a written blog format that's great for sharing with friends

How To Charge Your Phone Faster 2018 - Duration: 2:54.
this video is going to be really short because I'm just gonna get straight to
the point and share a really great piece of advice that I received from a visit I
once had as a customer at the Genius Bar at Apple I used to work there other
story but anyways this tip will drastically cut
your time down and maximize charge so that you spend less time charging and
more time on the go
hey guys boy named Kelly here be sure to subscribe if you haven't already if
you're joining us from the other video welcome
BFF already hit the thumbs up and we'll get things going
sometimes the charger that came with my phone just doesn't go quite as fast as I want. I live in
the fast lane I Drive on the left lane and I always move over for people who
are going faster than me that's beside the point
I wanna charge really fast here's how you do it and no it doesn't involve
plugging your iPhone into some weird acidic fruit please come on unless it's
a cactus those things are like crazy ok guys let's get really serious for one
second I just need to let you know that you take this advice at your own risk
although I've never heard of anything negative about doing so and personally
have had no trouble in fact this method is even approved by Apple so don't even
worry but just in case you might die I'm just kidding nothing's going to happen
to anybody I mean we're not talking about that weird Note 8+ banned exploding
phone Apple iPhones all shipped with the same identical 5 watt power adapter this
two pronged wall adapter is sleek small and gets the job done
ok ok I know what you're saying but Kelly we live in a world of Fortnight
and snapchat we need the juice this is why I use a
completely different charger and here's why the great thing is this particular
charger is made and sold by Apple themselves so you know you're definitely
going to get the best quality possible I'm talking about the beloved and
bootylicious 12 watt USB power adapter that comes with new iPads and they even
sell them on their own you guys I have loved using this charger
for many reasons fast charging compatibility with my laptop charger
wall extender does that make sense it's like the extender cord that goes into
the wall free laptop yeah you can hook it on there but most of all the ability
to use it in any country when you pair with Apple's $29
world travel adapter kit you can charge your iPhone really fast in any part of
the world at a fraction of the time no power converter necessary since the
adapter does not all on its own and there you have it you no longer have to
charge your iPhone like a muggle and you only have to spend like 12 bucks I'll be
sure to leave a link in the description to the Apple charger so you can get one
ordered in the mail ASAP because if you don't have one you are suffering and if
this video helped you in any way at all you might consider taking a look at my
video about fixing possible charger issues if you haven't already also feel
free to leave any comments or questions down below I love to kind of see what
you guys thought and see what kind of issues you're having or whatever I'm a
smart guy right and I'll do my best to answer all of those don't forget to
