**My Digital Life: A Look at My Phone and Online Presence**

I have Google Play Music, which means I have both subscriptions kind of redundant once you think about it. Play Movies and then Google Cast are two separate services that I use to stream content on my phone. In addition to these, I also have a collection of games on my device, including the one I'm currently playing, Evoland. This game is absolutely adorable and has progressed from 8-bit graphics to more advanced visuals as you progress through the game.

Evoland is an RPG that stands out for its unique blend of retro and modern gameplay styles. It's a must-have game for anyone who loves Nintendo-type games or enjoys progression-based experiences. I also enjoy mindless games like Zen Koy zenco, which allows me to relax and unwind by breeding fishies or chasing food. On the other hand, I'm drawn to puzzle games like Triple Town, Monument Valley, Paperama, and Secret of Mana, all of which provide a great challenge and mental stimulation.

In addition to these digital distractions, I also spend a significant amount of time on social media. Facebook is one platform that I use regularly, although mostly for personal purposes rather than my channel. Twitter is another favorite, where I stay up-to-date on the latest news and trends. Periscope, however, is a platform that I've been hesitant to use due to shyness, but I do enjoy watching other people's live streams.

**Social Media and Online Presence**

I'm also active on Google+, which is a platform that I don't always get to use. Skype is another common tool in my online toolkit, particularly when it comes to staying in touch with family members like my sister. Patreon is another platform that I use to connect with fans and share exclusive content.

In terms of messaging apps, I'm familiar with Facebook Messenger, Twitter Direct Messages, and Snapchat. While some people might find these platforms excessive, they're an essential part of my online presence and allow me to stay connected with friends and family.

**Benchmarks and Diagnostic Tools**

When it comes to testing out new phones or devices, I rely on a range of benchmarks and diagnostic tools. Game Bench is one of the most useful apps for this purpose, as it allows me to measure frame rates in actual games. CPU-Z provides valuable information about the device's specs, while GFX-Bench offers detailed analysis of its graphics capabilities.

The Geekbench suite is another essential tool that I use when evaluating devices. This comprehensive benchmarking system allows me to test a range of performance metrics, including single-core and multi-core scores.

**Photo Editing Software**

In terms of photo editing software, I have a few apps up my sleeve. Mobile Forge is one app that helps me measure the display on new devices, while Calman Studio provides detailed color calibration results. Photoshop Express is another versatile tool that allows me to edit and enhance images, while Lightroom offers advanced features for managing and organizing my photos.

**Phone Apps and Utilities**

Finally, I have a range of phone apps and utilities that make my life easier. For example, Samsung's camera app is one of the best I've used on any device, with its Pro mode offering advanced functionality like raw image capture and shutter speed control.

Another useful app is HMA Pro, which allows me to use a VPN to mask my IP address when browsing the internet. This provides an added layer of security and anonymity online, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks.

**Household and Financial Tools**

In addition to my phone apps, I also have a range of household and financial tools that help me manage my daily life. Zillow is one app that I use regularly, as it helps me find new places to live or research properties in my area.

Samsung Game Tuner is another useful tool that allows me to control and manage multiple devices remotely, which is especially handy when dealing with shared family phones.

**Conclusion**

Overall, my phone and online presence are an essential part of my daily life. Whether I'm streaming content, playing games, or staying connected with friends and family, there's always something going on in the digital world. By using a range of apps and tools, I'm able to stay organized, productive, and entertained – all from the comfort of my own phone.
