So you've bought a new phone in the sale season. If you haven't bought it, then I'm tagging the product. There are still some good deals going on, like S23, Neo, or even the H50 Pro. But if you've bought a new phone, then you might have already set it up. But if you haven't, then do watch this video. But more importantly, if you've set it up, then it becomes even more important that you watch this video. Because in this video, I'm going to tell you everything. From setup, hardware, software, accessories, what all you should do after buying a new phone. I'm going to tell you everything. If you haven't bought a new phone, then no problem, you can forward this video. I'm sure there are some people in your family or friends who have bought a new phone in this sale season. So do it right now. Do subscribe, as many such videos are going to come in the

next 1-2 months. Where I'm going to tell you what all you should do on a new phone. So do that! Quickly I'll tell you, when you buy a new phone for the first time, you have to choose the language. And then you have multiple 5-6 screens, it depends on which brand you've bought the phone from. Accordingly, different things come in your phone. But first of all, choose the language properly. If you want Hindi, Marathi, or English, choose that. But after that, there are many screens that come with terms & conditions. And many terms & conditions are optional. So don't tick mark everyone to see the terms & conditions. Just tick the same, so that your button turns blue. And then you can go ahead. So uncheck as many terms & conditions as possible. Because your data is the most important. This fine print, it's written here that we're going to use your data.

If you're doing this, then we're going to do this. Don't say it directly. And yes, there are some dark patterns. If you don't know, I'm showing it on the screen. I mean, brands are getting smarter, but you have to be even smarter. And obviously, since it's Android, you'll need a Google account. And 99% of people have it. If you're shifting from an old phone, then obviously, restore it. Here, you'll get all your contacts and images which are backed up on Google Drive. So that is there. If you don't have a Google account, then you'll have to create a new one. They'll be giving you all the details. But, do one thing, keep your password safe in your mind. Don't write it down, or else someone will find it. And one more thing, the competition commission of India has said that you can't default. Give some time to other search engines as well.

So now, by default, Google has kept the search engine. You have to choose, and there are 10-15 options. Sometimes the Google option is at the bottom, sometimes at the top. Right now, I'll say use Google only because that's the safest option. I've seen this dark pattern generally, so I thought I'll tell you specifically. The third-party apps like Bloatware, etc., have a screen. And by default, they're checked. Do you want to install this? And they write it very lovingly, that these apps will be installed. So you think you'll do it next. No, uncheck it. Don't install any third-party app. If you see something good in it, go to the Play Store & search for it. While setting it up, please don't do it. So you've set it up, and you're on the home screen. What do you have to do first? Friends, I'll tell you, once you buy a smartphone, you're

connected to the internet. Privacy becomes very important. First of all, Face ID, Fingerprint, all these things have to be set up in the settings. First of all, do that. That's very important. And let me tell you here, that Face ID is a comfort feature, not a security feature. That's why the backup pattern & pin number should be complex so that people don't get to know. I think you should install the rest of the apps, but the first app on your phone should be Google's Find My Device. You never know when your phone is going to get lost or stolen. That's when it's useful, but many people forget. So, Find My Device, please install it first & set it up properly. When we talk about updates, we generally talk about software updates. Sometimes, we talk about security updates too. But you know, there's an important update that you have to do manually when you buy a new phone. Play Services Update.

Essentially, the app ecosystem of Android, the code behind it, updates it with the latest features. And generally, people don't do that. So, software updates, security updates, but not Play Services Update. Do that & it has to be done manually. So do that, that's important. And again, this is part of security itself. And I've seen that no one does it. I don't know why, but many times, OTPs are visible on the lock screen. And that's not a good thing, it can create problems. So, go to Settings, then Security & do 1 thing. Remove notifications on lock screen. No! If your phone is accidentally lost in someone's hands, & it's locked screen, but it's getting your OTP, what a loss it can be! And you should check 2 more settings. Android Safe Browsing. And Scanning for Deceptive Apps. These 2 options should always be on. Because that'll save you from any malware & it'll check the

app properly. So, you don't have to worry about it. So, that's all about security, now let's talk about connectivity. And here, you have to do some trial & error. But when you set it up, then keep the WiFi calling on. Keep the VoNR on. See how it performs over a period of a week or so. I mean, use it for 5-6 days. If you're getting call drops, or you're not getting proper connectivity, then switch it off & let your calls be on normal 4G. Then it'll probably get better. So, it's important to do some trial & error here. But by default, keep it on at the start. I use it, because if someone calls me & I want to take the call immediately, then I keep it on silent. But, there's a feature in Google Dialer that very few people use. Setting Ringtone As Per Caller. Meaning, if this caller calls, then this ringtone will ring.

How many people have used it? Let us know in the comments below. But, if you have any special people, do it this way, you'll know without looking. And yes, turn on the SMS & Spam Protection in Messages. By default, it's on the caller for call spam, caller ID, etc. But it's not for SMS, so turn it on. And I've said this many times, if you want your battery in optimal health, then you should charge it till 80-90%. And this option is available in many phones, so turn it on. Meaning, if you're going to use it for 2 years, then you'll properly charge it. So that the discharge is 0% & not 100%. That's the stress on the battery. So, it's at 10-15-20%, keep it on charge till 80-90%. And you can also do the option of not charging it further, so do that.

In some phones, there's also a setting called Optimize Charging Enable. So, keep it enabled. New Features It's a good habit, when you buy a new phone, you should be in the settings. I still do this, I shift my phone every 3 months, but still I'll go & check & find something new. Go to settings, click on every option, you'll see all the options in it. If you see everything, you'll know more about the new features & options. And don't worry if you make a mistake, if something changes in the display or connectivity. Now, Android gives you granular control, you don't have to reset the whole phone. So, you don't have to worry, just go ahead & turn it on or off as per your needs. So do that, that's very important. And another important thing is Nearby Share. Nearby Share was there earlier, now it's Quick Share. And there are options in it, like share files with

everyone, with your contacts only. And all the devices in your account, with your account. You should disable everyone, do whatever you want to do, but don't keep everyone on. Because anyone can send you a file, it'll automatically be on your phone. And it can be a not a very good file, so only with contacts, that's important. There are more videos coming up, like I said, we'll talk about accessories, what accessories you should buy, we'll give suggestions too.
