So whether you've been gifted a new smartphone or not, prepare to read carefully and come up with interesting collusions.
Buy him a case and a tempered glass
We all love to carry our new mobile device without a cover and without any type of protection so that it looks as much as possible. In addition, not placing a cover and a tempered glass offers us another totally different sensation in the hand.
Unfortunately this is a real recklessness and is that We should all put it, at least for a while, a cover and a tempered glass.- In addition, my advice cannot be other than that of not skimping on this aspect. If you have bought a mobile phone with a lot of money, do not go to buy the case at a trinket store, because it will certainly not protect it what it should and in the case of a fall or some mishap we may be upset.
You can find some other bag y tempered glass via Amazon.
Check for available updates
Before starting to enjoy your new mobile device and installing the applications you use regularly, Our advice is that you check if there is an update available. Regardless of the device that you have been given, it is important that you carry out this check since software updates are beneficial in every way, not only for the terminal but also for you.
Once you have checked if there are software updates available and have installed them if necessary, we can start using our brand new mobile device in a normal way.
Set up your email account or synchronize your terminal with Google
If your new smartphone has Android as the operating system, an essential step after checking if there are updates available has to be synchronize the terminal with Google, through your email account. This will give you access to your mailbox, but it will also allow you to enter the universe offered by the search giant.
If you have chosen another type of terminal you should sync the email account and link to it as much as possible. For example, if you have found an iPhone under the tree, you must not only synchronize your email account but also identify yourself in the Apple Store and in other Apple applications to start using them without any problem.
Recover and transfer data from your old smartphone
One of the most complicated things to start enjoying a new smartphone is usually the recover and transfer the data from our old smartphone. In the event that we are lovers of backups and we have all our data synchronized in the cloud it can be something really simple, otherwise it can safely become a nightmare.
The images, videos or music that we have stored on our old smartphone are usually easy to transfer to our new device. And it is enough to connect it to a computer and lose a few minutes. For example It is usually a much more difficult operation to transfer the contacts and more if, for example, we are going to make a SIM change.
Our recommendation is that before changing the terminal SIM card, copy all the contacts to it. You can also synchronize them with your Google account and even, if your terminal has it, export them to the SD. What you should never do is to leave everything to improvisation and if your new smartphone has been achieved through portability to another telephone company, it is possible that you will run out of contacts when deactivating the SIM from the originating company, like this Be very careful, be cautious and also fast.
Remove all the junk from your new smartphone
Most mobile devices that are available in the market have a huge collection of applications installed with them, which in many cases we will never use. In the event that your new terminal offers you the possibility to remove those apps or disable them do it right now. You will save space, complications and also will not consume the resources, in a useless way, of your new smartphone.
Unfortunately, not all terminals allow you to eliminate or disable the applications that are installed natively, so in that case you will only have to get angry and at best marginalize them in a folder that you can perfectly name as "Cosmic Trash".
Install the applications of your old smartphone
If you have done all of the above, the time has come to start installing the applications you had on your previous device. Also, if, for example, you have managed to make an important leap in terms of storage, you can start installing applications without control.
If your previous smartphone had a microSD card and you had applications installed on it, to transfer them to your new terminal, simply change the card device. There may also be that you restore a backup on your new mobile device and it will be enough to restore it for the applications to start installing automatically.
Summarizing…
To summarize everything we have talked about, we can tell you that First of all, you must protect, in the best possible way, your new smartphone and with the aim that it lasts you, in the best state, as long as possible. Once again we recommend that you not save a few euros by buying a case and any tempered glass, because in the end, not buying an unofficial case for example can end in a much greater displeasure than it should be.
Once our mobile device is protected, we will have to carry out 5 essential steps among which are to disable or eliminate natively installed applications, change the files from one smartphone to another or install the applications that we had installed on our device that will go to a home drawer to become what we all call an emergency smartphone.
