- A new official video from Google is here. This is about how you can switch from your current phone to Pixel.
- The video is designed as a mockery meditation instruction and is absolutely hilarious.
- It’s nice when companies put a little extra effort into these things.
Close your eyes. Live in the moment. Breathe in. Exhale. Accept your inner peace. Namaste. These are the kind of statements one hears in the countless videos about meditation on YouTube. What you usually do not hear is “plug in your Pixel” or “do not worry if you have thousands of latte photos.” This is exactly what you hear in Google’s new official video on how to switch from your current phone to Pixel.
The video is fun with the deluge of meditation videos you can find online by showing generic natural climbs, while a voice-over explains how to transfer your files. The narrator sounds as if she has strayed between one kingdom and the next, but still has time to make brilliant jokes such as: ‘you can not confuse this as long as you trust the process.’

After watching it for the first time, I had to check three times if it was a ‘is’ official video from Google itself. In other words, if someone is looking for how to switch to Pixel, they will find it and look at it. I do not know if Google is trolling or just unconventional, but I love it.
It is now possible that Google will only temporarily install it and eventually take it down. It would be a shame, but it would make more sense to have a ‘normal’ instructional video for this purpose. If so, you will want to see it as soon as possible. It would be a shame for anyone not to experience this.
