Once you take your new Android device out of the box, there are a few things you should do to ensure you get the most out of it from the start.
First, appreciate the futuristic device in your hands and ensure you have all the necessary parts by reviewing the packaging and any warranty information.
Next, charge your device and connect to a wireless network. Log into your Google account during the setup process to synchronize your email, calendar, and contacts list, and download your old apps.
After setup, consider disabling any pre-installed bloatware and customizing the device to your liking with wallpapers, ringtones, and app shortcuts. Secure your device with PINs, pattern locks, or fingerprint scans, and ensure everything is up to date with software and app updates.
Set up mobile data tracking to avoid going over your limit, and take the time to explore your phone’s settings to familiarize yourself with its features.
