You can switch from your old phone to a new Google Pixel, or you can close your eyes, breathe and then switch to a new Google Pixel. Sorry, I’m trying to force myself to the higher level of existence at which the narrator of this new ad-meets ASMR meditation session from Google is going, and the food has not started yet.
The video above guides you through the process of sending all your data to a new Pixel, with meditative advice on top of a slideshow of beautiful views. It relaxes first, but do not take it too seriously. The cold vibes finally make way for a cutting line of existential horror that then makes the video spin completely in the meme area.
