1. See your Home screen on the big screen

Before you cast, ensure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Cast device and that you have the latest version of your choice of Google Cast app.

Open the Google Cast app.

Select "Cast Screen" from the menu and tap "Cast Screen.".

2. Share your phone but protect your info

Swipe down the top edge of the screen to open Quick Settings.

Tap the user icon on the top right and select "Add a Guest" to start Google Guest Mode.

When you get the phone back, end Guest Mode by tapping the user icon and selecting "Remove Guest".

Tap "Remove" to delete all apps and data from the guest's session.

3. Swipe for notifications

Open Settings.

Tap "Moves".

Make sure the slider next to "Swipe for notifications" is in the "On" position.

Now, swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to check your notifications from any screen.

4. Translate signs on the go

Ensure you have the Google Translate app on your phone and open it.

In the top-left corner, select the language of the text you're looking at.

In the top-right corner, select the language you'd like to see the text in.

Tap the camera icon, point your camera at the text you want to translate.

To pause the camera and see the translated text, tap "Pause" in the bottom right corner of the screen.

To resume, tap "Play".

5. Enable pulse notification LED

Concealed in your Pixel's front-facing speaker is a tiny LED light that can be used to notify you of missed messages. It's turned off by default, but you can enable this feature in just a few simple taps: Settings> Notifications> Tap on the Gear icon in the top-right corner > Toggle on the "Pulse notification light". And voila! Your Pixel will now blink its notification light when you have a notification waiting.

6. Make the screen wake up when you get a notification

You can make you Pixel's screen wake up when it gets a new notification such as a text message, an email or a missed call, etc.

To turn on the feature, Go to Settings> Display and enable Ambient Display.

7. End an on-going call using the power button

You can use the power button on your Google Pixel to cut an on-going call. To enable this feature, go to Settings> Accessibility and enable Power button ends call option.

8. Using the multi-window or split-screen functionality

In the past, we've seen the multi-window feature on some Samsung and LG devices. Android Nougat has multi-window feature baked into the very OS. It is quite obvious that the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have the multi-window or split-screen functionality enabled by default.

To be able to use the multi-window functionality on the Google Pixel, you must have some open apps in the Recents. Suppose you want to use Chrome and Facebook apps simultaneously, you need to open them individually first and then close the apps. After that,

Open one of the apps.

Then tap and hold the Recents button on the navigation bar.

When the multi-window mode is on, the recents icon will split into two parts (see above).

The opened app will start showing in a window covering the upper-half of the screen.

On the lower window, you'll see the recent apps.

Just select the app you want to use on the other part of the screen.

To resize the window, you can drag the "—" icon up or down (see the highlighted areas in the screenshot above.

To close multi-window, just tap and hold the Recents button on the nav bar.

9. Instantly see time and notifications when the screen is sleeping

Actually, I experienced this feature first after my iPhone 6 received the iOS 10 update. It is really a very useful feature that wakes up the screen as soon as you take your phone out of the pocket or lift it.

The Google Pixel/Pixel XL received this feature after the Android 7.1.1 update. As soon as you hold the phone and lift it up, it displays the current time, day, date, your previously set lock screen personal message and notification cards from different apps.

10. Enable battery percentage on status bar

On most Android devices, you can enable Battery percentage on status bar option from Settings> Battery. On the Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones, the feature has been disabled by Google for some reasons.

Don't worry, as you can easily make your Google Pixel to show battery percentage on the status bar. Well, it's a bit tricky, but it works:

Swipe down the status bar to bring down the quick settings or the notification panel.

Now press and hold on the Settings gear icon for a few seconds.

You'll see a toast message box saying "Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings".

Now open Settings and scroll down to System UI Tuner and tap it.

Tap on Status bar in the System UI Tuner menu.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to find the Battery option and tap it.

Select Always show percentage option from the menu that pops up.

You'll now be able to see battery percentage on the status bar.

Done! The only issue is, the battery percentage shows on the battery icon and is so small in size that you might need a magnifying glass to read it. LOL!

Anyway, there's another way to easily find the battery level percentage of on your Google Pixel. Just swipe the status bar with two fingers and you will find the battery percentage just bellow the battery icon in the quick settings page.
